The rivalry between Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz seems far from over, as Diaz expressed his confidence in a potential trilogy fight with McGregor. Despite their two previous encounters in 2016 resulting in a win for each fighter, Diaz firmly believes that a third showdown is inevitable. With McGregor also showing interest in a future bout, fans are eagerly anticipating the possibility of a third epic clash between these two UFC stars.
Potential Venue for the Fight
Speculation has arisen about the location of a potential McGregor vs. Diaz trilogy, with McGregor suggesting the possibility of Las Vegas during Mexican Independence weekend. However, UFC CEO Dana White has dismissed this idea, but Diaz remains open to the bout. With both fighters expressing mutual interest, the choice of venue for this highly anticipated fight remains up in the air.
In addition to a potential rematch with McGregor, Diaz has his sights set on facing Jake Paul and Leon Edwards in the future. Despite losses to both in boxing and MMA matches, Diaz is eager for redemption and envisions rematches with these opponents. He also expressed a desire for an MMA rematch with Jorge Masvidal following their clash at UFC 244 in 2019 at Madison Square Garden.
Amidst talks of potential rematches, Diaz highlighted Leon Edwards as the most intriguing figure in the UFC at the moment. Praising Edwards for his skills and attitude, Diaz expressed interest in a matchup with him, emphasizing that Edwards is currently one of the best things happening in the UFC. With his departure from the UFC as a free agent in 2022, Diaz sees Edwards as a compelling opponent for his future fights.
Diaz and Masvidal are set to face off in a boxing match at the Forum in Inglewood, California, with the bout contracted for 175 pounds and 10 rounds. Despite Masvidal’s retirement from MMA, he will be making his professional boxing debut against Diaz. The event, distributed by Fanmio, has garnered significant attention, with both fighters engaging in a promotional tour across multiple cities.
As the anticipation grows for a potential McGregor vs. Diaz trilogy, fans are eagerly awaiting updates on the fighters’ future matchups. From possible rematches with McGregor, Paul, and Edwards to his upcoming boxing match with Masvidal, Diaz’s fighting spirit remains unwavering. With an eye on the ever-evolving landscape of the UFC, Diaz’s determination and competitive drive continue to captivate audiences worldwide.
