Conor McGregor Interested In Nate Diaz Trilogy Fight, But Only At 155lbs

Many pundits were predicting Conor McGregor would get absolutely pummelled in his highly anticipated fight with Floyd Mayweather.

If that is the case, then McGregor would boast the PPV record in both MMA and boxing.

Should McGregor return to the UFC he is expected to defend his lightweight championship, but there is also that highly entertaining third fight with Diaz waiting in the shadows. However, the next fight should be in the lightweight division according to him. Diaz has also sought a licence to box professionally in the past and considering how intrinsic he was to McGregor receiving his, it would be hard for the NSAC to reject his application. McGregor has provided even more cause for excitement by saying that he would willing get back into the octagon against Nate Diaz and complete their trilogy.

And at only 28-years-old, the “Notorious” has plenty of pay days left in him.

McGregor has indeed shown some promise during the first three rounds of the match, aggressively throwing some punches at a somewhat confused Mayweather. “He’s courageous, he’s got a big heart but he’s not a boxer and like Lennox (Lewis) did say, he (Mayweather) took him to school”, Warren said. Later that year, McGregor narrowly avenged the defeat with a majority-decision victory over Diaz at UFC 202.

It was disclosed that McGregor made a $30 million purse, while Mayweather made a $100 million purse even before the outcome of the fight.

“It brought the whole world’s attention to boxing and it seems people are pleased with what they have seen”.

Diaz did not have enough time to make weight at 155 pounds, so McGregor agreed to go all the way up to 170 for the fight, which Diaz won by submission in an upset. And if the fight between the champion and interim title holder does not make sense financially for the UFC, it will host one that does.

The Nevada Athletic Commission that allowed McGregor to fight Mayweather suspended the Irishman for two months until 26th October, which is just a regular procedure every fighter goes through after they have been knocked out.

Grayson Gregory is a diehard MMA fan and was so confident “in Conor’s belief that he could win” he was talked into making a wager with a co-worker that would see the loser get a tattoo of the winning fighter somewhere on their body.
