Conor McGregor agreed to an opponent after years of highly expected clash in the making. Previously, the Irish star shared his envy to face this UFC welterweight fighter on multiple occasions and believed a contest was inevitable. However, the American athlete was not on board with the idea. But in a recent statement, he has changed his tune on a McGregor matchup.
Nate Diaz agrees with Conor McGregor regarding their highly expected trilogy contest. The two biggest stars in the combat sports world collided twice at UFC 196 and UFC 202, which gathered around 3 million combined PPVs sales for Dana White’s promotion.
Ahead of the biggest fight of his life, Stockton native Nathan Diaz has changed his stance on the epic clash as he previously never showed much interest in facing ‘The Notorious’ inside the Octagon. Chiefly, it was because in the Diaz universe the Stockton fighter was already 2-0, ruling out the official 1-1 score.
Conor McGregor gave a green signal to the trilogy contest
Before competing in his last contractual UFC bout on the current contract at UFC 279, Diaz said, “It’s for sure going to happen at some point… It’s like, when we matchup, we’re going to matchup.”

“We ain’t going nowhere,” Diaz kept the doors for the trilogy wide open.
Meanwhile, Conor McGregor also reacted to Diaz’s quote on his Instagram stories and agreed with his rival.
“100%,” Conor McGregor wrote in his stories while tagging a post with Diaz’s quote.

This was quite a shocking statement for the little Diaz brother, as his contract situation with the UFC could be an issue with the trilogy. That said, Dana White has always mentioned that no Diaz fight is an easy fight till it is signed.
Can Nate Diaz pull a surprise Floyd Mayweather move?
Fans are mostly convinced that win-or-lose Diaz will test free agency next and try to have a boxing bout with YouTuber-turned-pro-boxer Jake Paul, who is undefeated in his career.
However, Floyd Mayweather, despite retiring, is still competing with boxers from around the globe. Thus, a contest against one of the biggest PPV draws in UFC could interest ‘Money’ Mayweather.
Also, ‘TBE’ has shown competing against Logan Paul and Conor McGregor that he is not worried about the size of his opponents. Thus, if Diaz and Mayweather get inside a boxing ring, fight fans are warranted to be entertained.
