Nate Diaz's potential comeback to the UFC has everyone talking, and he's making sure his name stays in the spotlight. The former UFC star, now 40, has named his top three opponents for a highly anticipated return to the octagon, and it's a list that's sure to spark debate and excitement among fans.
Diaz, a fan favorite known for his bold personality and skills in the ring, has set his sights on a trilogy fight with Conor McGregor. This long-awaited clash is a dream match-up for many, as the pair's previous encounters have left fans wanting more. But here's where it gets controversial: Diaz also named Dustin Poirier and Mike Perry as potential opponents, adding an extra layer of intrigue to his comeback plans.
Despite being past his prime, Diaz's popularity has never waned. His relationship with UFC boss Dana White has always been a unique one, with White leaving the door open for a Diaz return, stating it will always be his 'house.'
And with Diaz's recent comments, it seems he's ready to make a statement. He told TMZ Sports, "I want to fight either McGregor (trilogy), Dustin Poirier if he stops being such a p—-, and maybe Mike Perry."
The potential trilogy fight with McGregor has been a fan favorite for years, and with White recently shutting down a potential UFC White House fight between McGregor and Michael Chandler, the stage seems set for Diaz's return.
But the question remains: will Diaz fight under the UFC banner or explore other promotions? His feud with Poirier adds an interesting dynamic, and while a clash with Mike Perry seems unlikely in bare-knuckle boxing, it's a possibility that keeps fans guessing.
So, what do you think? Is a Diaz comeback a smart move for the UFC? And who would you like to see him face first? Let us know in the comments, and stay tuned for more updates on this exciting potential return!
