Conor McGregor has frequently suggested that his trilogy bout with Nate Diaz is inevitable.
However, after UFC 205, McGregor went the boxing route and the biggest fight in the UFC got delayed. Later, when ‘The Notorious’ returned, he didn’t have the same success inside the octagon. Thus, Nate Diaz has shown reluctance to take the trilogy bout.

Similar to Conor McGregor, Nate Diaz has not won recently
It was interesting that Nate Diaz pointed out the Irishman’s losing record, as he, himself, has not had a great couple of years. Apart from his win over Anthony Pettis, Diaz has a tough time getting his hand raised. Though Diaz had a good last-minute against Leon Edwards, he still lost on the judges’ scorecard.
