McGregor vs Diaz: Tale of the Tape

The first time we got Conor McGregor vs Nate Diaz, The Irishman submitted towards the end of the second round at UFC 196. This was quite a shock, considering McGregor was already at the peak of his career. The fight between the two was quite a thriller! They faced each other yet again, a few months later – at UFC 202.

Talking of Bragging Rights, Nate Diaz vs Jorge Masvidal for the “BMF Title” will take place at UFC 244. Hence, there is no chance that a match between McGregor vs Diaz can happen anytime before a few months from then. Then, McGregor’s return is expected to happen at UFC 245 or UFC 246 – he would take at least a couple more months off post the match. Could it be at UFC 250?
