Nate Diaz would rather take up a real fight than fight someone like Jake Paul again. This might have been his real stance internally ever since he lost his boxing bout against the YouTuber-turned-prizefighter. Now, the mixed martial artist in Diaz is looking for a challenge.
The former UFC star took on his Twitter recently. While he’s well out of the UFC, fans are still aching for Diaz to make a grand comeback. And what could be more grand than a fight against Conor McGregor? At least that’s what fans are rallying for.

Fans demand the Nate Diaz vs. Conor McGregor trilogy fight
Diaz and McGregor have already crossed paths twice. At UFC 196, Diaz took down McGregor via submission in the second round of the match. However, in their second meeting, it was McGregor who came out on top with a decision win over Diaz. Now, a decided match is only fair for fans to ask.
Diaz recently put out a tweet that said, “Im good I’d rather fight real fighters And never back track to the minor leagues pu**yFL Fight urself dipshit.” The tweet is probably targeted at Paul and his constant taunts at anyone and everyone. Here are some of the best fan reactions.

Nate vs Conor 3
— Slim NIK (@NikkuAbhishek) November 3, 2023
While some simply called for a McGregor fight, others asked Diaz to come back to the UFC altogether.
Good. Now come back home to the UFC and schedule the trilogy with Conor. Just a heads up: it doesn’t look like Conor anymore, but I promise you it’s him.

McGregor on fighting Diaz again
Conor McGregor has been more than vocal about fighting Nate Diaz once again. In fact, during a recent promotional event for his Irish Forged Stout, McGregor was more than happy to answer a few questions. It was all about how he needed to fight Diaz one more time.
“I owe him a fight. I owe Nate a fight. So I gotta obligate that you know? In (our) rematch I got the better of him and I owe him the trilogy for sure.” The fighter had said. Now, it remains to be seen if Diaz actually makes up his mind to step back inside the cage. It’s clear that he’s not going to the world of boxing, so when can we expect him to be back if at all?
