With his old nemesis, Nick Diaz rumored to be returning to the UFC very soon, Carlos Condit could potentially face the older Diaz brother in a rematch.

It’s unlikely to see Condit fight for the title right away. The UFC matchmakers will likely have him matched up against fellow strikers in fun matchups rather than book him against fighters who’ll grapple and outpoint him.
