UFC 263: Nate Diaz vs Leon Edwards

Nate Diaz is one of the most prominent fighters in the promotion. And when he enters the ring, it is a bloodbath. The Stockton gangster dominates his opponent inside the cage with his aggressive fighting style. Though he has been away for a while, his legend is still intact. On his return, he will look to beat the Jamaican-British fighter Leon Edwards.

Considering his ability to land heavy takedowns, ‘Rocky’ will be a tough competitor for Diaz. He has a nine-fight unbeaten streak and is yet to fight for the title. Hence, he too, like his opponent who has never held UFC gold, will be hungry.

Hence, this is an important match in their career as per the UFC president Dana White. The winner of the bout will be next in the line for the welterweight gold after Colby Covington.
