Conor McGregor is willing to excuse the $8 million payout owed to him by Manny Pacquiao

During a conversation with ‘TalkSport’, Conor McGregor expressed his wish to get inside the boxing ring once more. He mentioned wanting to fight former 8-division champion Manny Pacquiao. McGregor also spoke about Dana White delaying his UFC return and claimed that he will take on the ‘PacMan’ if he makes weight in his weight class.

“The lads here (in Saudi Arabia) are talking Manny. The UFC aren’t talking any… I was supposed to be back in April (2024). It was supposed to be December… I’m waiting. My patience is wearing thin,” said Conor McGregor. The Irishman is even willing to let go of the $8 million that Manny Pacquiao owes to Paradigm Sport for the boxing match to take place. It remains to be seen if ‘PacMan’ will consider this offer.

Dustin Poirier vs Nate Diaz for UFC 300?

Nate Diaz is one of the most iconic MMA fighters ever. After years of fighting in the UFC, he departed the promotion over a year ago and made his mark in boxing against Jake Paul. However, the Stockton native recently expressed his desire to come back to Dana White’s promotion and compete in the UFC 300 PPV.

“UFC 300 would be tight but there’s nobody to fight,” Nate Diaz tweeted in a bid to get an opponent. Just then, that Twitter (X) post caught the attention of Dustin Poirier, who issued a response to the former UFC fighter. ‘The Diamond’ recently mentioned being in a “weird spot” in his UFC career. He did not know what’s next for him, but now there might be a chance that we get to see him fight an icon of the sport.

Dustin Poirier responded to Nate Diaz’s tweet and proposed a 5-round matchup at the UFC’s triple-century event. “5 [rounds]. Don’t be scared homie,” said the former interim champion. Diaz and Poirier were once scheduled to fight each other in 2018, but it did not happen. We will have to wait and see if they finally get to lock horns inside the Octagon at UFC 300.

Israel Adesanya could face Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 300

‘The Last Stylebender’ is enjoying his time away from the Octagon after an upset loss against Sean Strickland at UFC 293. He later mentioned that he would be taking a break from fighting until 2027. However, Israel Adesanya recently opened up on returning to the Octagon “soon,” snubbing his earlier statement about a 3-year-long break.

Thereafter, Khamzat Chimaev expressed his wish to fight the former middleweight champion on his return to the UFC. He recently made his return to middleweight in a bout against Kamaru Usman and is ready to take on the former champion in his second fight at 185 lbs. It will be exciting to see how both fighters fare, but there is no official confirmation about the potential bout from the UFC.
