Not to mention, he has a longstanding history with Nate Diaz, resulting in both the fighters splitting wins.

The MMA community has been boiling over ever since ESPN’s Ariel Helwani broke the news that Nick would return. Chiefly, 209’s favorite son has undergone a 14-week test weight cut and has been looking in phenomenal shape. What’s more, he has been on his brother’s social media as of late, seen putting in long hours at the gym.
