UFC star Nate Diaz decided to play the role of match-maker for the UFC and suggested a pairing that has captured everyone’s attention. Diaz took to Twitter and said that Conor McGregor should face rising star Khamzat Chimaev in his return bout. According to Stockton’s second son, the bout will help McGregor ‘taper back in’ after a devastating injury.

He even went so far as to thank himself for putting the match-up together.

It didn’t take long for McGregor to weigh in and he greeted Nate Diaz’s suggestion with his approval. The Irishman has looked to adopt an ‘anytime-anywhere-anyone’ mentality throughout his fighting career and he seems open to facing Chimaev. However, there’s no doubt that stylistically, this is not the most favorable match-up for Conor McGregor.

In a somewhat surprising turn of events, Khamzat Chimaev decided to come out of the shadows and opine on the aforementioned conversation. ‘Borz’ ended up verbally slamming Nate Diaz on Twitter in a continuation of their previous feud. At this stage, it goes without saying that Khamzat Chimaev would relish the opportunity of fighting Conor McGregor.

Who will be Nate Diaz’s last UFC fight?

The MMA community has been playing into the rumors about Nate Diaz possibly leaving the UFC soon. Chiefly, he’s on the last fight of his existing contract and some believe he won’t re-sign with the promotion. Diaz has been at loggerheads with the UFC brass and at times has been labeled ‘difficult’ to deal with.

In the spirit of these rumors, fans are now excited for Nate Diaz to fight out his contract with a massive final fight. Several names have been listed out, with a ‘Conor McGregor trilogy’ being one of them. However, it appeared as though the UFC were keen to pit Nate Diaz against Khamzat Chimaev in an attempt to build the latter’s name.
