Nick Diaz has teased a return at UFC 310.
The MMA legend was due to face Vicente Luque in August after a three-year absence for the UFC’s debut fight card in Abu Dhabi, but Diaz had travel issues and had to pull out.
On Saturday, Diaz released a video of some training footage along with a message teasing a return
“70 days. It’s my way.”

Many fans are concerned with the footage though and flooded social media with comments on the bag-work.
One said: ‘Bro punches in slow motion.’
Another added: ‘Love Nick Diaz. Time is definitely not on his side now though, he’s getting old.’
A third replied: ‘Old and slow.’
A third predicted: ‘Yeah he’s getting koed in .2 seconds.’
A fourth commented: ‘Mf moving in slow motion.’
At 41 years of age Diaz doesn’t exactly have time on his side.
The Stockton, California native hasn’t fought since he was forced to retire in his corner against Robbie Lawler in September 2021.
Also he hasn’t won a fight in 14 years. His last win came in 2011 when he won unanimously over BJ Penn.
