UFC is the most premier company in Mixed Martial Arts always had the privilege of having the most decorated veterans and crowd pullers of the fight game. So whenever any sports icon takes a provisional hiatus from the fight game the anticipation of him coming back after a few years always stays on top. We have previously witnessed the comeback of superstars like Mcgregor, Georges St.Pierre, Ronda Rousey, Anderson Silva, Jon Jones after they have left the sport for a while cuz of personal commitments, loss or injury or a suspension. Well, the news that has been reported of late that Nick Diaz is set to return at UFC 235 against Jorge Masvidal.

The anticipation is huge as Nick Diaz is about to make his first appearance in the Octagon in 4 years.

The last time Nick Diaz(26-9,2-NC) fought was in UFC 183 in 2015 against Anderson Silva in a middleweight bout which he lost via unanimous decision. After that, the fight was called a no-contest as both fighters failed their post-fight drug tests.

The Nevada State Athletic Commission handed Diaz an 18-month suspension for having marijuana samples in his system. His duration of a suspension was increased till April of 2018 due to his repeated doping troubles by United States Anti-Doping Agency(USADA).
