Nate Diaz (20-12) last fought at UFC 244 in a losing effort against Jorge Masvidal. The November 2019 clash saw the pair fight over the BMF title. It was only Diaz’s second career loss via TKO as Masvidal forced a doctor’s stoppage via cut at the end of the third round.<\/p>\n
The former UFC lightweight title contender made a surprising return earlier that year for a 170-pound battle with Anthony Pettis. The unanimous decision win for Diaz was his first and only since March 2016 when he earned the upset submission over Conor McGregor.<\/p>\n
Edwards vs. Diaz will be the first non-main event non-title five-round fight in UFC history. Following the bout will be the title fight rematches at middleweight and flyweight, Israel Adesanya vs. Marvin Vettori and Deiveson Figueiredo vs. Brandon Moreno.<\/p>\n
Despite being 1-2 in his last three outings, beating Edwards could lead to a Diaz vs. Kamaru Usman<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nate Diaz is set to return at UFC 263 next Saturday when he faces off with top welterweight contender Leon Edwards.
