The McGregor vs Diaz rivalry goes way back to UFC 196 when McGregor made his welterweight debut against Diaz. The Irishman entered this bout as a heavy favorite after two straight knockout victories over Jose Aldo and Chad Mendes. However, Diaz shocked the whole world as he won via submission in the second round to end McGregor’s undefeated record in the promotion.

Nate Diaz and Conor McGregor fought each other consecutively twice in 2016 and after losing the second fight, Diaz wasn’t active for three years. During a recent interview, Diaz revealed that he took a break because there was nobody else to fight.

He said: “There’s nobody to fight. When I fought Conor and I didn’t fight for three years it wasn’t because I was sitting there waiting Conor. They were like ‘he’s waiting for Conor. I ain’t waiting for Conor, I was waiting for something cool. Nobody was on a level, someone worth fighting then when I finally came back Masvidal had knocked out Ben Askren with a knee and I was like ‘that was cool’, that was the only cool thing that happened while I was gone.”

According to the Stockton native, he waited for some cool opportunity but nothing took place until the famous fight between Jorge Masvidal and Ben Askren which caught his attention.
