Diaz is widely considered to be one of the most popular fighters in the world of mixed martial arts. The Stockton native was back in action earlier this year in a huge fight against top welterweight Leon Edwards, about that he was potentially just 30 seconds away from winning at the end of the fifth round. He recently hinted his return and wrote the following:
“Defending in December”
It’s a short and simple message for the fans. It seems he is ready to fight Poirier in a highly anticipated bout. The pair have been exchanging fiery words on social media and it is likely to come into fruition.
