Is Nate Diaz interested in a rematch against Leon Edwards?

A number of UFC audiences might remember the superb Welterweight bout between the ‘Stockton Gangster’ Nate Diaz and the current UFC Welterweight champ, Leon Edwards at UFC 263. Although ‘Rocky’ dominated almost all the rounds and won the bout, he himself was rocked by a signature slap and a straight left from Diaz in the ending stanza. A lot of UFC fans also might opine that Diaz could’ve finished Edwards off.

Recently, the ‘Stockton Slapper’ appeared in an interview with an ‘MMA Junkie’ representative. Diaz revealed that he wouldn’t mind stepping back into the octagon after his boxing venture.

He also implied that he might choose his former rival, ‘Rocky’ to make his comeback inside the octagon. Talking about their UFC 263 bout, Diaz stated, “I don’t think I’m over him either too… He’s great. He’s a great fighter also. And it’d be cool if he hung on to it for a while and he deserves it. Trains hard and works hard.”

Will you really think that Diaz will make his way back into the octagon at this age? If yes, how soon do you expect him to return?

Michael Bisping suggested measures to Alex Pereira for a trilogy bout against Israel Adesanya

Even after a respectful ending post-UFC 287, the archrivals, Israel Adesanya and Alex Pereira were probably getting into another feud. Recently, Adesanya talked about ‘Poatan’s’ sister and son which had him receiving a stern reply from him. All these incidents have also got a number of UFC fans talking about a trilogy bout between the two. Recently, even the former UFC Welterweight kingpin and UFC analyst, Michael Bisping, fanned the flames of this fire.

In a recent video on his own YouTube channel, ‘The Count’ revealed what Pereira needs to do in order to get a trilogy bout confirmed against ‘Izzy’. It was apparent that he had noticed the shift in Adesanya’s personality after his win against ‘Poatan’. Bisping gave out his suggestion to ‘The Brazilian’ stating, “All Pereira has to do is continue making noise. Izzy is a proud man. I don’t think Izzy’s ducking anyone. There’s unsettled business. There’s unfinished business. These two have to have a third fight inside the UFC.”

He further described how ‘Izzy’ might be accused of ducking him if he refuses the trilogy offer. He also might be subjected to the wrath of numerous UFC fans if he refuses the trilogy bout.
