Nate Diaz Hits Career-Low Weight Ahead of Mike Perry Fight
Nate Diaz has demonstrated significant commitment to his upcoming bout against Mike Perry by weighing in at 168.6 pounds in California, marking his lightest weight since leaving the UFC's 155-pound division in December 2015. This weigh-in result addresses previous concerns regarding Diaz's physical condition, particularly after he weighed 185 pounds for his 2024 boxing match against Jake Paul. Since departing the UFC in 2022, Diaz has competed twice in boxing, securing a victory over Jorge Masvidal following a loss to Paul. His opponent, Mike Perry, also successfully made weight, coming in at 169.6 pounds, which is below the welterweight limit and his lightest since UFC 202. The event is part of a Netflix fighting card that also features matches involving Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano. Diaz's return to this lower weight class suggests a serious approach to the fight, countering earlier doubts about his focus raised during open workouts. This clash marks Diaz's return to cage fighting after a hiatus focused on boxing exhibitions.
