The most anticipated trilogy: UFC boss ruled out his stand on Nate Diaz’s last match in UFC and Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz’s trilogy bouts expectations.
“I care about Nate a lot,” White said in his post-fight press conference after Tuesday’s Contender Series event. “I like Nate, and Nate came in here, long before that fight was ever made, and we were talking about it being his last fight, and I said, ‘Listen, kid. You think about the wars that Nate Diaz has put on and the incredible fights and the big fights that he’s done with us, go do whatever you want to do, man.’
“But getting a fight done with him isn’t as easy as seems. Everybody’s like, ‘Well, why don’t you make a fight?’ Well, he asked for Francis Ngannou. I could go on forever, but I won’t. We got it done. That’s the fight he wanted.”
“Conor’s not ready yet,” White said. “Conor’s leg isn’t healed yet. Nate could obviously sit around and wait for that, but he doesn’t want it. I don’t know what he’s got planned or what he’s thinking, but right here, right now, he’s ready to fight. He wants to go, and we’re going.
“That’s one of those fights you can do any time, but no, it never worked out that way. Listen, if you get two guys like Conor and Nate, who want to fight each other bad enough, it ends up happening.”
“No, it’s not like, ‘Oh God, I never got the chance to make No. 3,” he said. “The first two were awesome. That first round with Conor and Nate in the first fight was insane. Conor was landing these crazy bombs, then Diaz comes out in that second round. It was madness, and then the second fight was awesome. If it happens, it happens, but we got enough out of the first two.”
“We made it, and here we are,” he said. “And it’s a good fight. It’s a fight people want to see. It’s a fight that people will be interested in, so we’re going to do it.”
Nate Diaz stands as a behemoth in the game, even though not winning a title in his entire career, he has notable wins over UFC historic champ Conor McGregor, Donald Cerrone, Rafael dos Anjos, and more.
Diaz being inactive in UFC for a year with his last two losses to Leon Edwards and Jorge Masvidal is awaiting his last fight in the contract.
Fans expected a trilogy bout with his notable rival Conor McGregor to be his last fight. However, Conor McGregor’s comeback is not yet confirmed. The Stockholm fighter has his skills polished for any potential next opponent.
‘The Notorious’ was the highest-paid UFC fighter and created history by becoming a double division champion. Unfortunately, he suffered a brutal leg injury in UFC 264 against Dustin Poirier in the first round, fracturing his left fibula and tibia.
Mcgregor had been out of the fight game for a long time, and he announced his return with a spectacular transformation and training videos.
While McGregor’s comeback was anticipated as one of the historic comebacks in UFC history, his potential opponents were lined up as Nate Diaz.
