Despite claiming last month how a return to the Octagon at UFC 300 would be “tight” – fan-favorite veteran, Nate Diaz has been ruled from a return to the promotion on the card, with MMA reporter, Ariel Helwani confirming how the Stockton native is not featuring the April card into his fighting future.
Diaz, a former undisputed lightweight title challenger under the banner of the promotion, has been sidelined since he departed the Dana White-led organization back in November 2022, having fought out his contract in a guillotine choke submission win over former interim titleholder, Tony Ferguson at UFC 279 in September of that year.
