Nick Diaz Confirms He’s Returning To UFC Action

On Tuesday, it was confirmed that Nick Diaz had reached a deal with USADA that will see him eligible for a UFC return as early as next week.

Diaz, who hasn’t fought since his 2015 no-contest result against Anderson Silva, has been in USADA limbo for a series of violations.

Diaz, who is likely not a PED user, was suspended for not completing his whereabouts forms, or being available for random drug testing. But, this was just Diaz being Diaz, and not an intended violation of the rules.

USADA also believes Nick isn’t a cheat, and as such, the two parties agreed on a retro-active 12-month suspension that sees him free on the 19th.

With that in mind, the latest Instagram post from Nick is pretty telling and encouraging for all Diaz brother fans out there.

In it, the older of the Diaz brothers all but confirms his intentions to return to action.

Many are calling for Nick to face off with former UFC champion Michael Bisping when he returns. But who do you think he should fight?
