Following his fight with Leon Edwards at UFC 263, it seems Nate Diaz is eager to make another appearance inside the UFC octagon. The Stockton native has been campaigning for a fight, even calling out number one lightweight contender Dustin Poirier for a showdown earlier this month.
And although the opponent and date for the fight might not be in place, Diaz recently took to Instagram to announce his return to the octagon in December.
Interestingly enough, in a recent appearance on his podcast, UFC legend Chael Sonnen made the following statement, claiming to know who Nate Diaz’s next opponent is.

Although many people might see this as a cruel prank by Sonnen, who is privy to a lot of information regarding upcoming fights, others believe a careful look at Sonnen’s lip movement in the video points to Tony Ferguson. A few other fans believe it could also be Welterweight Veteran Matt Brown.
Both matchups seem like great options for the younger Diaz. However, a fight with fan-favorite Tony Ferguson would certainly be one for the ages.
