For the first time since 2019, Nate Diaz is back on a fight poster.
The fan favorite returns to action May 15 to face Leon Edwards in the UFC’s first five-round, non-title co-main event at UFC 262. The welterweight bout will precede the main event to crown a new lightweight champion between Charles Oliveira and former Bellator titleholder Michael Chandler.
Oliveira and Chandler will battle it out to become the first new 155-pound champion in over three years not named Khabib Nurmagomedov, who announced his retirement following his 29th consecutive victory over Justin Gaethje at UFC 254 in October.
