Bleacher Report’s Tony Preston:
ate Diaz suffered a unanimous decision loss to Rory McDonald this past Saturday at UFC 129. His second straight loss in the welterweight division. Now it seems that Diaz plans to return to the lightweight division.
According to a report from MMA Mania, Diaz’s trainer, Cesar Gracie, says “Nate Diaz didn’t look too good. I’m gonna be the first one to say it. He looked lethargic out there and he’s been asking me to go back to 155 for some time now. Frankie Edgar is the champion over there and he’s the student of a good friend of mine. Nathan was one of the contenders at 155 so we brought him up to 170 but it looks like we’ll probably bring him back down to 155 where he belongs.”
