Nate Diaz recently expressed his confidence in a potential trilogy fight against Conor McGregor, stating that he guarantees they will meet in the Octagon once again. Diaz, who has previously defeated McGregor via submission in 2016, seems determined to settle the score in another highly anticipated matchup. McGregor himself has hinted at the idea of a rematch, especially during the upcoming Mexican Independence weekend in Las Vegas, but UFC CEO Dana White has dismissed the notion.
In addition to McGregor, Diaz has mentioned his interest in rematches with other opponents, including Jake Paul and Leon Edwards. Despite suffering losses against them in boxing and MMA, respectively, Diaz is eager to step back into the ring with these fighters. He also expressed a desire for a rematch against Jorge Masvidal, whom he lost to in their previous encounter at UFC 244 in 2019.
While Masvidal is currently focused on his professional boxing debut, Diaz seems to have his sights set on exploring opportunities outside of the UFC. The duo is set to face off in a boxing match at the Forum in Inglewood, California, with the event being promoted through a four-city tour. Diaz’s decision to engage in these boxing matches highlights his versatility as a fighter and his willingness to take on new challenges.
Interestingly, Diaz singled out Leon Edwards as the most intriguing figure in the UFC at the moment. Despite his departure from the promotion as a free agent in 2022, Diaz acknowledged Edwards’s skills and progress in the sport. He commended Edwards for his positive mindset, improving abilities, and overall performance, indicating that he sees potential for an exciting matchup between the two fighters.
Despite his recent loss to Jake Paul in the boxing ring, Diaz remains focused on his future in combat sports. With a determined attitude and a string of potential matchups on his radar, Diaz’s presence in the fighting world continues to be felt. Whether he faces McGregor in a trilogy fight or takes on other opponents in the boxing or MMA realms, Diaz remains a formidable and intriguing figure in the world of combat sports.
