After almost seven years since their last octagon encounter, the idea of a trilogy fight between Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz is still fresh. Their rivalry was one of the most memorable ones because of its trash talks and epic performances in the cage. Moreover, the two fighters had the utmost respect for each other after finishing their business inside the Octagon.

Today, Diaz and McGregor are on different paths in their lives. While the Stockton native is preparing for his boxing debut against Jake Paul, the Irishman is in the process of returning to the UFC after 2 years.

However, many fans and critics alike are doubting McGregor’s capabilities while he prepares to make a comeback. While some think that he is way past his prime, others believe him to be inferior to the current competition. But Diaz doesn’t think so! Appearing in the recent Raw Talk podcast, the 38-year-old had some positive words to say for McGregor.
