‘Waiting on…’ – Dale Earnhardt Jr. Publicly Asked for a Favor From Dana White in 2016 That the UFC President Is Yet to Deliver

This old tweet from NASCAR Analyst Dale Earnhardt Jr must get UFC president Dana White all bothered. This tweet mentioned a possible trilogy bout between UFC greats, Nate Diaz and Conor McGregor after their second face-off. The third fight was heavily rumored at the time, but there’s still no news on the two titans facing each other, even after 6 years.

Now, Nate Diaz does not have an active contract with any professional combat sports organization. The Irishman has also gone the Hollywood route and has not declared when he’ll be back in the Octagon. Things do not look great for fans who are still expecting them to go against each other…

A wild demand from Dale Earnhardt Jr.

NASCAR Analyst Dale Earnhardt Jr. was obviously not in the minority, back in 2016, when he expected the third bout between UFC Legends Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz.

He tweeted “Waiting on @NateDiaz209 @TheNotoriousMMA 3 announcement.” Directed as a demand towards UFC boss, Dana White.

The UFC 202 was one of the most memorable events in the promotion. Even the NASCAR world was curious to see who’d come out on top. Ultimately, it was the Irishman who claimed the victory based on the judge’s decision.

Dana White, who struck a marketing partnership deal with the NASCAR team ‘Trackhouse Racing’ in 2022, would welcome the discourse of his beloved UFC among the NASCAR community.

Nate Diaz and Conor McGregor: Where are they now?

However, Dale Earnhardt Jr said “@NateDiaz209 didn’t lose that fight. Mighta been a draw but the money for new owners and everyone else is in match 3. #UFC202”

Claiming that the match might’ve ended in a disappointing draw for neutrals. The MMA community shared a similar opinion and wanted to see a definitive third bout between Mystic Mac and El Diablo. This fight would supposedly bring closure to fans of both camps.

But, since Nate Diaz’s exit from the UFC, this fight seems to be harder than ever to manifest anytime soon.

Superstar Conor McGregor suffered a leg injury in his last fight against Dustin Poirier. Since then, he is on a hiatus from the combat sport and focusing on his Hollywood action film, starring Jake Gyllenhaal.
