Conor McGregor vs Nate Diaz’s $30M Worth Trilogy Lined Up as Former UFC Champ Cites ‘Disney Boy’ Jake Paul to Be Unworthy

Nate Diaz was last seen in a boxing match with Jake Paul in August 2023. Since then, Diaz is all set to return to the UFC. While many believed the 38-year-old would fight Jake Paul on his UFC return. However, in a recent YouTube video, an ex-UFC champ gives insight into whom he should fight. 

Diaz was last seen in UFC 279 when he fought Tony Ferguson. He defeated Ferguson in the fourth round via guillotine choke. The Stockton-born fighter is all set to make a return to the UFC. But who should he fight next? 

The return of Nate Diaz is on the cards

Before his fight with Jake Paul on August 2023, Diaz hinted at a comeback to the UFC. They had officially removed Nate from the UFC roster, even after defeating Ferguson. Currently, the 38-year-old is a free agent, and it is unknown whom he will face in his next fight. While speaking to True Geordie, Michael Bisping believes Diaz doesn’t need to fight the ‘Problem Child’ again. 

In a recent YouTube video, Bisping said: “I feel like Diaz the way he is with his infrequent schedule for his fights, he’s probably going to fight two or three more times. I don’t know how old he is at the top of my head. Mid-thirties, late thirties, you know what I mean. All he has to do is come back to the UFC and fight Connor McGregor, and he’s got to make 25-30 million dollars. So why is he going to mess around with a Disney boy.’

Diaz and McGregor have previously had some of the best fights in the UFC. While the 38-year-old Diaz is a different athlete than he was, he still has the fighting skills to take on the ‘Notorious One’. McGregor is all set to return to the UFC after a seven-year gap. Will the fans witness Diaz vs. McGregor 3?

A modern legend of the MMA
