Nate Diaz returns to face Mike Perry in May 16 comeback fight

Nate Diaz is set to return to the ring on May 16 under the MVP banner. His next opponent will be Mike Perry, marking his first fight since losing to Leon Edwards at UFC 263. The bout has drawn attention after Diaz's controversial performance in that match.

At UFC 263, Diaz faced Leon Edwards in a highly anticipated fight. Though he rocked Edwards multiple times, he chose not to finish him. Instead, Diaz taunted his opponent throughout the bout.

Edwards ultimately won by unanimous decision. Diaz later addressed his actions on *This Past Weekend*, a podcast where he explained his approach to the fight. No details have emerged about Diaz's training or preparation since the UFC 263 loss. Despite this, his upcoming fight against Perry remains scheduled for May 16.

The May 16 fight will be Diaz's first since his defeat to Edwards. Fans will watch closely to see how he performs against Perry. The bout is expected to be a key test for Diaz's return to competition.
