Las Vegas, NV – The possibility of a trilogy fight between UFC stars Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz has been reignited as Diaz expressed confidence in a potential rematch during a recent media event. McGregor and Diaz previously faced off twice in 2016, with each claiming a victory.

As Diaz navigates the world of combat sports, his focus remains sharp on potential opponents. He highlighted Leon Edwards as a standout figure in the UFC currently, praising his skills and attitude. Diaz’s return to the fighting scene after a recent loss to Paul in his boxing debut demonstrates his determination and resilience in pursuing his goals. With a series of high-profile matchups on the horizon, Diaz’s journey through the world of combat sports continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
