Diaz wants trilogy on his terms, not McGregor’s comeback script

Nate Diaz is open to a trilogy fight with Conor McGregor, but only on his own terms. Diaz made it clear he has no interest in being part of McGregor’s comeback narrative, signaling a refusal to play a supporting role in the UFC’s storytelling. His blunt stance underscores a desire for independence in the fight game, emphasizing that his career path comes first.

The comments revive the long-simmering tension between the two fighters and set the stage for a potential showdown that hinges entirely on Diaz’s conditions. Diaz’s remarks follow years of rivalry and a single, chaotic welterweight bout in 2021 that ended in a majority draw. Since then, McGregor has pursued ventures outside the octagon, while Diaz has remained selective with his fights.
