Nate Diaz is making a bold statement, declaring he's ready to reignite his UFC career! The MMA world is buzzing with anticipation as the Stockton star sets his sights on some of the biggest names in the sport. But will his wishes come true?
After a hiatus from the UFC, Nate Diaz (21-13 MMA, 16-11 UFC) is eager to make a grand return. His last official UFC fight was a memorable one, submitting Tony Ferguson in September 2022, but he's been keeping busy outside the organization. Diaz has since faced Jake Paul and ex-UFC fighter Jorge Masvidal, but now, he's ready to reclaim his place in the octagon.
Diaz has his eyes on some high-profile matchups, and he's not holding back. In a recent interview with TMZ Sports, he revealed his wish list: "I'm talking about fighting either Conor McGregor for a third time, Dustin Poirier, or Mike Perry. Let's make it happen!" But here's where it gets controversial—Diaz's choices have raised some eyebrows.
The rivalry between Diaz and McGregor is well-documented. Their first encounter at UFC 196 in March 2016 saw Diaz pull off a shocking submission victory, but McGregor evened the score in their UFC 202 rematch. With McGregor's absence from the octagon since July 2021 due to a broken leg, a trilogy fight could be a massive draw. But is it the right move for Diaz?
Diaz also expressed interest in Dustin Poirier, who retired at UFC 318 but hinted at a potential comeback. The two were scheduled to clash at UFC 230, but an injury to Poirier's hip derailed those plans. And then there's Mike Perry, a name that might surprise some fans.
As Diaz prepares for his UFC comeback, the question remains: Will he get his wish list fights? And if so, who will emerge victorious in these highly anticipated matchups? The MMA community is abuzz with speculation, and the White House event in June could be the perfect stage for these potential showdowns. Stay tuned, as the UFC landscape is about to get a whole lot more exciting!
