GLENDALE, Ariz. – [autotag]Leon Edwards[/autotag] and [autotag]Nate Diaz[/autotag] have completed their final faceoff before Saturday’s UFC 263 showdown.
After both men made the welterweight limit on Friday morning, Edwards (18-3 MMA, 10-2 UFC) and Diaz (20-12 MMA, 15-10 UFC) got a final look at each other at ceremonial weigh-ins, which took place at Gila River Arena, the same venue which hosts the pay-per-view main card following prelims on ESPN and ESPN+.
Diaz will see his first octagon action since November 2019 in the fight, which is the first five-round fight in company history that’s neither a main event nor a title fight. Edwards, meanwhile, will attempt to extend his unbeaten streak to 10 fights.
Nate Diaz put on his best mean mug for his final faceoff with Leon Edwards. 😠#UFC263 | Full story: https://t.co/uHiB0twl2T pic.twitter.com/NUcUGj6hJl
