The 209 representative got it done impressively against ‘El Cucuy’ as he became the first athlete to submit the legendary 155 lbs fighter. The Irish star gave his insights on the fight and how he would have fared against ‘El Cucuy‘.
Ah come on bro I’m absolutely stinking. And with so much quality. This has never been seen before what I’m doing man. Please, Your nothing with out me. Respect, please. I’d slap you around handy. And Tony easy. I’d have sawed Tony in half. 2 ham ball heads.
Respect the king. https://t.co/41DMLdUIDn— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) September 11, 2022
Conor McGregor tweeted, “Ah come on bro I’m absolutely stinking. And with so much quality. This has never been seen before what I’m doing man. Please, Your nothing with out me.”
“Respect, please. I’d slap you around handy. And Tony easy. I’d have sawed Tony in half. 2 ham ball heads. Respect the king.”
Diaz mentioned about McGregor trilogy in his post-fight press conference and the Octagon interview. Also, he shut down a boxing contest against the self-proclaimed Face of the Fight Game.
While both fighters have shown interest in a trilogy, it would be an interesting ride to the mega-event considering Diaz’s situation with the promotion.
Will Nate Diaz return to UFC for a trilogy bout?
The Irish star is on the verge of a return. However, Diaz & McGregor III does not seem the next bout for ‘The Notorious‘.

Diaz shared his ‘love’ for the UFC in the post-fight interview and kept the doors open for a UFC return.
Further, considering the prior two events between these two athletes sold almost 3 million PPVs for the promotion and made a ton of money for these two fighters. Diaz might show up to the premier MMA organization for a lucrative trilogy contest after his run in other sports, as he declared.
