Nate Diaz Still Wants Conor McGregor Trilogy Fight

Nate Diaz says he still wants to fight Conor McGregor a third time, and he isn't ready to let the idea go.

The Stockton veteran, who has split two previous meetings with McGregor, used a recent public comment to make clear the trilogy is still something he's chasing. Diaz and McGregor remain 1-1 against each other from their pair of fights nearly a decade ago, a rivalry that still ranks among the most bankable in the sport's history.

Why The McGregor Trilogy Still Has Legs

Diaz's renewed interest keeps alive a fight that promoters and fans have circled for years without it ever getting made. Both men have taken different paths since their last meeting, McGregor largely tied up with his own timeline back toward the Octagon and Diaz operating mostly outside the UFC in recent outings. None of that has killed the appetite for a third fight. Every time either man brings it up publicly, it moves back to the front of the conversation, and this is the latest instance of Diaz doing exactly that.

What It Means For The Betting Markets

There's no fight booked here, so there's no line to point to, but a Diaz-McGregor trilogy would move as one of the bigger betting events combat sports could produce given how the first two bouts drew action on both sides. Until a bout agreement actually surfaces, this stays a rivalry with unfinished business rather than a fight bettors can price out. Anyone looking to get ahead of it should wait for an actual announcement before the market has anything real to react to.
