McGregor vs Diaz: UFC news: Conor McGregor has lost four times so far in the UFC and his first two defeats came against Nate Diaz and Khabib Nurmagomedov, respectively. Interestingly, both times McGregor lost via submission. Although he could avenge the loss against Diaz in an immediate rematch, Khabib Nurmagomedov never accepted a potential rematch against his Irish nemesis.
Meanwhile, Nate Diaz recently looked back at his UFC 196 win over Conor McGregor and pointed out how he choked ‘Notorious’ faster than Khabib Nurmagomedov. Here’s a look at Diaz’s Tweet.

The McGregor vs Diaz fight at UFC 196 ended in round two after Nate Diaz put a rear-naked choke on McGregor. However, ‘Notorious’ manhandled Nate Diaz in the first round and busted up his face with big shots. Here’s a look back at the fight.
Against Khabib Nurmagomedov, Conor McGregor had a very different fight. McGregor became the first fighter to beat Nurmagomedov in a round and even applied strong ground defense. However, Khabib drained the Irishman of energy and choked him out in the fourth round. It remains to be the biggest win of Khabib Nurmagomedov’s career, who instantly became a superstar after the McGregor fight.
The UFC scenario has changed drastically since that time. Khabib Nurmagomedov and Nate Diaz are no longer active in the UFC, but Conor McGregor seems to be plotting a comeback soon.
Conor McGregor fight: When can Conor McGregor return to the UFC?
Since 2022 is almost in its final days, we can expect Conor McGregor to return by early or mid-2023. He has gained some extra pounds and can possibly perform in the welterweight division next. The 155 lbs and 170 lbs division is currently filled with A-listed fighters and McGregor wouldn’t lack a valid opponent to welcome him to the UFC.
