Nate Diaz linked to massive fighting return at UFC 300 social media post it's time

As they did last night amid a cryptic social media post from light heavyweight champion, Alex Pereira, eagle-eyed fans have now linked promotional veteran, Nate Diaz with a spectacular return to the Octagon at UFC 300 next year – amid a post on the Stockton’s social accounts.

Diaz, a former lightweight title challenger under the banner of the UFC, departed the Dana White-led promotion back in November of last year officially, following the completion of his contractual obligations with the organization.

In his Octagon swansong, however, Nate Diaz snapped a two-fight losing skid with a stunning rallying win over former interim lightweight title chaser, Tony Ferguson – submitting the Oxnard native with a fourth round guillotine choke in their impromptu UFC 279 headliner.

Making a professional boxing debut back in August of this year, The Ultimate Fighter winner, Diaz took the outspoken puncher, Jake Paul the distance over the course of 10 rounds in an eventual unanimous decision loss to the Ohio striker.

And linked with both a grudge match against former interim lightweight titleholder, Dustin Poirier in his time away from the Octagon, Diaz has also been tied to a trilogy rubber match with former two-weight gold holder, Conor McGregor – who has welcomed the chance to share the Octagon with the Californian for a third time.
