Nate Diaz just laid down the names of potential fighters that he would like to fight in the near future. Diaz is currently busy promoting his upcoming boxing rematch with former rival Jorge Masvidal. However, the retired UFC veteran is eager to fight the likes of Conor McGregor later this year. 

Recently, Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal had their first boxing faceoff years after their last MMA bout in 2019. During the event, the ‘Stockton native’ was asked about his upcoming fights. The fighter revealed that he is extremely sure to fight Conor McGregor, Jake Paul, and Leon Edwards in the future. 

I have a 100% guarantee I'm gonna fight Conor McGregor again and I have a 100% guarantee, I'm gonna prolly fight Jake Paul again again. This f*****(Masvidal) again and Leon Edwards again. That's my hit list. 306, right? That's my plan, something like that.

Since he retired from the UFC, Diaz has remained busy. In his last outing, Diaz fought with Jake Paul in a boxing bout which he lost on points. Subsequently, Masvidal is also retired from the UFC and both the fighters are now gearing up to trade punches inside the squared circle. The ten-round light heavyweight fight is going to take place on June 1 at the Kia Forum in California.

Diaz claimed that UFC 306 is his target venue for the trilogy matchup with Conor McGregor. His rivalry with the ‘Notorious’ is considered one of the most grossing in the promotion. Given their history and popularity, fans would love to see McGregor fighting Diaz once again. 

Conor McGregor isn’t happy with Dana White dismissing his potential trilogy fight with Nate Diaz

Dana White stated firmly at the UFC 299 post-fight press conference that he is not interested in planning the much-awaited trilogy match between Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz for UFC 306. It was a little surprising, however, according to White he wanted to promote more Mexican fighters for the particular event.

McGregor responded and revealed that he is open to facing Diaz again but is not pleased with White’s objections to the idea. 

I’ve got the Diaz trilogy, and that’s what I had said for the Sphere. You know, there was cold water put on that in public off the bat and I wasn’t happy with that. I need a discussion or conversation because if I’m not getting anything back, I’ll just drift off

Since the start of 2024, McGregor’s comeback rumors have kept fight fans on the edge. The fighter has finished promoting his film and is fully recovered from his injuries. It’s about time for the former double champion to speak with the UFC and choose his next opponent.
