Both Diaz and McGregor hold a win over one another, and UFC fans have been calling for a deciding trilogy bout ever since.
Conor McGregor recently came out on the losing side of another trilogy, as Dustin Poirier picked up two consecutive victories over the Irishman. Poirier looks set to fight for the title, while McGregor must recover from the broken tibia he sustained during their fight.
In a recent Twitter post, Conor McGregor captioned an image of himself and Nate Diaz facing off with the following statement:
Nate Diaz was quick to respond, tweeting:
The aftermath of Nate Diaz’s reply
Never one to back down from a social media war, Conor McGregor replied to Nate Diaz, saying:
Nate Diaz would then go on to reference Conor McGregor’s recent leg injury once again. He also took shots at former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, whom he had been close to fighting at one time.
Diaz tweeted:
Despite all the animosity between Nate Diaz and Conor McGregor, it does not seem that a future trilogy bout is off the cards. Diaz is simply telling McGregor to fully recover from his broken tibia, which only occurred in July.
With any luck, 2022 may be the year that fans finally see the long-awaited third fight between the two legends.
