When it comes to lightweight, Nate Diaz is the “self-proclaimed king of that division.” Which begs the question: What’s he doing at welterweight then? Diaz, who appears to be serious this time, is finally set to make his highly anticipated return to the octagon on Aug. 17, when he meets former lightweight champion Anthony Pettis in a 170-pound matchup at UFC 241 in Anaheim, Calif. It’ll be Diaz’s first fight in three years as the 34-year-old veteran hasn’t competed since losing a majority decision to Conor McGregor in their rematch at UFC 202. That fight was preceded by Diaz’s shocking submission win over McGregor five months earlier at UFC 196.
