Here’s Nate Diaz’s First Statement Since Booking Return To UFC Against Dustin Poirier

Late last night the Los Angeles Times announced that the UFC has secured the long-awaited return of Nate Diaz.

Set for the UFC 230 co-main event, Nate Diaz is set to return to action after a lengthy two year absence from competition, against top lightweight contender Dustin Poirier.

As soon as the news went public on Thursday night, we quickly hit Nate Diaz’s social media, and stayed glued waiting for word from the Stockton Mega-star.

Approximately four hours after Nate’s return to the UFC became public knowledge, Nate did hit his social media with a message to his fans. Only, it wasn’t fight related.

Here’s all we got:

Happy birthday to my little sister Nina and my big brother Nick love uguys
