10 UFC Fights You Cannot Miss In August

2. Anthony Pettis Vs. Nate Diaz - UFC 241

It's been a really long time since Nate Diaz fought inside the UFC. However, the legendary lightweight, turned welterweight, makes his return this month in a very, very exciting match-up against Anthony Pettis.

Although most fights involving one of the Diaz brothers usually involves some sort of bad blood, there's been legit animosity between Diaz and Pettis for a number of years. There are a lot of questions that need to be answered during this fight. We've all seen how good Diaz is as a fighter, but he hasn't stepped inside the Octagon since his defeat to Conor McGregor. Pettis, on the other hand, has fought six times during that period, going 3-3 against some world class opponents.

Will Diaz suffer from cage rust on his return? Will Pettis continue his inconsistent yet largely entertaining ways? There are so many questions and we'll find out the answers for them at UFC 241.
