Conor McGregor vs. Nate Diaz 3
The first two fights between Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz were contested in the welterweight division. Diaz won the first fight via second-round submission at UFC 196 in March 2016. McGregor won the rematch via majority decision at UFC 202 in August 2016.
McGregor’s most recent fight was a first-round TKO (doctor’s stoppage) loss against Dustin Poirier in their trilogy fight. McGregor suffered a horrific leg injury during this lightweight matchup at UFC 264 in July 2021. The former Featherweight Champion is currently recovering from the injury and is expected to return to the octagon in 2022.
Meanwhile, Nate Diaz’s last fight was a unanimous decision loss against Leon Edwards in a welterweight bout at UFC 263 in June 2021. Despite losing on the judges’ scorecards, Diaz was the one who walked out of the fight with the momentum on his side.
Diaz ended the fight on a dominant note, badly dazing and almost knocking Edwards out in the fifth and final round. As of this time, it’s unclear as to whether the third fight between Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz will come to fruition in 2022.
