Former UFC welterweight title challenger, Nick Diaz has been linked with numerous returns to the Octagon since he snapped a six year hiatus back in 2021, and appears to be keen to honor a speculated comeback, claiming “Somebody is gonna pay very soon” – posting new training footage across social media.
Diaz, who was a veteran former UFC welterweight championship challenger and gold-holder in the WEC/Strikeforce promotions that are no longer around, returned to the sport for UFC 266 in 2021.
Suffering a one-sided third round TKO retirement loss to former champion and prior foe, Robbie Lawler in the pair’s rematch, Stockton veteran, Nick Diaz claimed that he was more or less forced to make his return to fighting – with his management and training firm disbanding midway through fight camp.
Diaz was spotted working on the road with Derrick, a heavyweight knockout fighter, and expressing his interest in fighting at middleweight against Israel Adesanya. Diaz is the older brother of Nate Diaz who was once a UFC superstar.
