“This is Nick Diaz earlier today. He weighs in the 175-165 pound range, per his manager Kevin Mubenga. He just completed a 14-week diet and training regimen. This is the first time he cuts weight in approximately four years, Mubenga said. Diaz wanted to do a test cut because …
“… he is keeping a close eye on the big welterweight fights coming up. He is “100%” planning on fighting again, per Mubenga, and is targeting an early 2021 return.”
Former Bellator and ONE Championship Welterweight Champion Ben Askren made a comment on the Stockton natives plan to return:
“There are some guys people will watch no matter what! Even if they haven’t won a fight in almost a decade. I’m in for a Diaz comeback.”
We thought maybe we’d get to see him come back this year, as he stated that he wanted to return around the time his brother fought Jorge Masvidal in an interview with Ariel Helwani.
On Diaz’s social media over the last few years, it didn’t look like he’d been doing much with his life or career aside from partying. Of course he’s still training, he’s a true martial artist, but he was living the party life there for a while. He’d gained some weight, and every time we heard him talk, he sounded drunk.
Diaz has always spoken a bit differently than most, he and Nate both do, but it’d gotten worse. He slurred his words often, ranted about meaningless topics, went off topic during his rants, it was kind of sad to see. Now it looks like he’s motivated for a comeback, and this is great news!
Diaz hasn’t fought since January of 2015, and he wasn’t the most active upon returning to the UFC. He had two fights in four months against BJ Penn and Carlos Condit, but didn’t fight Georges St-Pierre until 13-and-a-half months after the Condit fight, and didn’t fight Anderson Silva until almost two years after his St-Pierre fight.
We never got to see how good Diaz really was, he got suspended too many times, then just left the sport at only 31 years of age. He was at his best, in his prime years, and it just didn’t work out for him. It’s so unfortunate seeing wasted talents, and he and his brother both are at least to some extent.
After being away for so long, he shouldn’t be fighting a top guy, but we all know how the Diaz’s are. If they aren’t getting someone with a name, they won’t sign the contract. It wasn’t always like that of course, but later on in their careers it has been.
It’ll be very interesting and exciting to see how this plays out.

UFC 253 just keeps getting better and better as the UFC continues adding big names to it. The most recent names of which are Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone and Niko ‘The Hybrid’ Price, who will square off against one another in a welterweight bout.
Brett Okamoto of ESPN broke the news on social media earlier tonight, he wrote.
Breaking: Cowboy Cerrone (@Cowboycerrone) and Niko Price (@Nikohybridprice) have verbally agreed to meet on Sept. 19, per multiple sources. Stylistically, hell of a fight. Should be all action.
This is such an exciting match up between two absolute killers! Price on one had is 14-4 (1 NC) with ten knockouts and three submissions, while Cerrone is 36-15 (1 NC), also with ten wins via knockout, and seventeen by submission.
It’s crazy, ‘Cowboy’ went 28-0-1 as a professional kickboxer before ever started his MMA career, and he didn’t pick up a knockout win in MMA until his sixteenth win. Twelve of his first fifteen wins came via submission, it’s almost unheard of how quickly he took to grappling after that long and extensive of a kickboxing career.
They’re both pretty well rounded too, but both have suffered defeat in their last fights. Cerrone is actually coming off of four setbacks, TKO losses to Tony Ferguson, Justin Gaethje, and Conor McGregor, and he lost his rematch to Anthony Pettis via unanimous decision.
Many people thought he won that last fight, that he should’ve gotten the nod, but he’ll have to right that wrong at UFC 253.
Price is coming off a defeat to Vicente Luque, who actually has two wins over him now. This means Price has only ever lost to three people, the other two being Abdul Razak Alhassan and Geoff Neal, both very dangerous welterweights.
Both of these men stand 6′ tall, but Price is the one who has a three inch reach advantage. He was getting boxed up by Tim Means on the feet before landing a thunderous right hook, securing the KO finish moments later. Means had never been finished via strikes before, and hasn’t since, Cerrone has definitely got to watch out for that power.
Each of these men also won their no contest; Cerrone’s was a first round submission (triangle choke) victory back in 2007, and Price’s was a second round KO (punch) in 2017. This is going to be a good one ladies and gentlemen, do not miss it!
