UFC: Conor McGregor vs Nate Diaz 3?
As per Conor McGregor’s statement, Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal are in the line for welcoming him back inside the Octagon but McGregor feels that the chips are more on Diaz’s side. Conor and Diaz have clashed against each other in two of the most highest-earning PPVs of all-time at UFC 196 and UFC 202 and a trilogy between them will be huge. Conor said that he has fixed his line up for the future and we will see him back in action soon. Diaz and Conor know each other well and both of them are superb strikers.

'Gamebred' Masvidal is a knockout specialist and his striking skills are excellent. Conor McGregor is a great striker too but he has never knocked out someone by an elbow or knee hit.

Meanwhile, Jorge Masvidal has shown his interests over Conor McGregor in the past and if it happens, UFC fans will get to see a brilliant match-up.
