Nick Diaz Returns to UFC at UFC 310

MMA legend Nick Diaz is set to make his return to the Octagon against Vicente Luque at UFC 310 on December 7, 2024, after a previous matchup was canceled due to travel issues. Diaz, 41, hasn't won a fight since 2011 and last competed in September 2021, where he lost to Robbie Lawler by TKO. Luque, 32, is coming off a loss to Joaquin Buckley and has faced a challenging run, losing three of his last five fights. The matchup raises eyebrows among fans due to the significant inactivity of Diaz and his long absence from top-level competition. Despite the doubts, Diaz is determined to make a comeback, while Luque might view this as a pivotal moment in his career. UFC 310 will be held at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and remains without a main event.
