Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) was interested in having former Strikeforce welterweight champion Nick Diaz return to the Octagon for a 170-pound title fight against reigning division kingpin (and lesser draw) Tyron Woodley.
Where and when?
At the upcoming UFC 209 pay-per-view (PPV) event, scheduled for Sat., March 4, 2017 inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Securing a championship title fight after failing to notch a win in over five years (plus this) is nothing short of remarkable and a testament to how popular Diaz is among the mixed martial arts (MMA) fan base.
