Conor McGregor and Artem Lobov’s friends-to-enemies trope has become the talk of the MMA world. Nobody in their sane minds would have thought in 2018 that the Irishman, who then waged a war against Khabib for his training partner, would one day issue a fighting challenge to him. However, the tables have turned. And McGregor has issued the challenge. Notably, one person, in particular, remains excited about the upcoming fight, Nate Diaz.

Significantly, the former UFC fighter is not the only MMA fighter eagerly waiting for an anticipated fight involving the two.

How did Nate Diaz and other UFC fighters react to the potential fight?

‘Stockton Slapper’, who is now a free agent after fulfilling his UFC contract, took to Twitter to express his impatience for the fight. Thus, the welterweight fighter wrote, “So is Artem gonna show up to the big fight or what ?”

Notably, Diaz last fought at UFC 279 against Tony Ferguson and signed off with a signature win. Hence, the MMA fighter kept his stocks high and further is speculated to venture into another combat sport.
