Midnight Mania! Nate Diaz vs. Conor McGregor trilogy will ‘for sure’ happen … eventually

Welcome to Midnight Mania!

After a 15-year stint with UFC, Nate Diaz seems to be headed in the direction of greener pastures. Diaz has not utterly closed the door on signing a brand new contract with UFC, but it surely actually seems unlikely given his latest feedback, normal curiosity in boxing, and his own MMA promotion. In all probability, Diaz’s predominant occasion slot reverse Khamzat Chimaev this weekend (Sat. Sept. 10, 2022) at UFC 279 can be his ultimate look contained in the Octagon.

There’s, after all, a massively incomplete chapter within the Diaz storyline whatever the final result of Saturday evening’s bout. Diaz shocked the world by handing Conor McGregor his first UFC loss, and the Irish fighter returned the favor with a detailed resolution win simply 5 months later. It’s been six years since that pair of battles, and the trilogy stays undecided.

Can it nonetheless occur with Diaz’s future so unsure? Stockton’s favourite son appears to imagine so. Talking with Inside Fighting, Diaz nonetheless appears assured that he and McGregor will share the cage (or ring?) no less than yet another time.

“The timing’s not on proper now,” Diaz mentioned (through MMA Junkie). “We’ll fear about that later. It’s for certain going to occur in some unspecified time in the future. … Yeah, in some unspecified time in the future. He must get again on what he’s received to do, no matter that’s. It’s like, after we match up, we’re going to match up. However we ain’t going nowhere.”

As Diaz says, McGregor vs. Diaz 3 can be an enormous occasion and promote effectively anytime it will get booked. In the intervening time, nevertheless, Diaz stays targeted on the problem forward.

“This combat proper right here that I’ve received arising is dropped at you by Actual Battle Inc,” Diaz mentioned. “The UFC is clearly pushing their fighter on me – not with me, however towards me. So that is the primary actual combat occasion that we’ve received is true now, proper right here.”

It’s UFC 279 combat week, and the truth that Diaz is combating Khamzat as a substitute of Tony Ferguson stays tremendously whack.
