Nick Diaz may be returning to action soon. The UFC legend has not fought in the octagon since losing to Robbie Lawler in an all-out brawl back in 2021. The elder Diaz brother has not hung up his gloves yet and from what we can see through his training videos, he doesn’t seem to be retiring anytime soon. UFC fans were ecstatic when the former UFC welterweight title contender posted a training video. In the caption, he wrote,
“Somebody Is Gonna Pay Very Soon…”

It is quite evident that Nick Diaz is looking to make a return to fighting soon. The former UFC title contender’s zeal for fighting seems to have been significantly bolstered off late. Diaz recently posted a story on his Instagram where he was playing the UFC’s console game. He shared a photo of the fighters he selected to fight.
He picked himself and chose his opponent as Kevin Holland. That one picture was enough for fans to assume that he wants to fight Holland next.

As a matter of fact, Kevin Holland is on a two-fight losing streak currently. He last fought against Michael ‘Venom’ Page at UFC 299. Page dominated Holland for the entire fight. Thus, it is now up to Nick Diaz whether he really wants to return to the octagon and if he does, it will be interesting to see who he picks as his opponent.
