Nate Diaz shows current form 12 days before Mike Perry fight

Nate Diaz's current physical condition has been showcased just 12 days ahead of his bout with Mike Perry at an MVP league tournament. The 41-year-old Diaz last competed in MMA in 2022, when he submitted Tony Ferguson. Since then, he has only participated in two boxing matches and did not compete at all in 2025. The upcoming MVP event will also feature Francis Ngannou's return, along with bouts between Rousey and Carano, and Mokaev versus Moraes. Diaz's return to competition after an extended layoff has generated interest given his age and time away from MMA.
