Ahead of the biggest fight of his life, Stockton native Nathan Diaz has changed his stance on the epic clash as he previously never showed much interest in facing ‘The Notorious’ inside the Octagon. Chiefly, it was because in the Diaz universe the Stockton fighter was already 2-0, ruling out the official 1-1 score.
Conor McGregor gave a green signal to the trilogy contest
Before competing in his last contractual UFC bout on the current contract at UFC 279, Diaz said, “It’s for sure going to happen at some point… It’s like, when we matchup, we’re going to matchup.”

However, Floyd Mayweather, despite retiring, is still competing with boxers from around the globe. Thus, a contest against one of the biggest PPV draws in UFC could interest ‘Money’ Mayweather.
Also, ‘TBE’ has shown competing against Logan Paul and Conor McGregor that he is not worried about the size of his opponents. Thus, if Diaz and Mayweather get inside a boxing ring, fight fans are warranted to be entertained.
