Conor McGregor’s Coach Reveals Why Third Fight With Nate Diaz Should Happen

John Kavanagh has opened up on this potential fight needing to happen.

There is once again talk of why the UFC should book a third fight between Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz.

McGregor’s longtime coach, John Kavanagh, has changed his tune about this potential third showdown between the two highest pay-per-view drawing stars that the promotion has under contract and are allowed to compete now.

Fight fans have not seen Diaz compete inside of the Octagon since his rematch with McGregor back at UFC 202 when he suffered a majority decision loss which came five months after Diaz submitted McGregor in their first bout at UFC 196.

On the flip side, McGregor has not been seen in the Octagon since at UFC 205 when he won the lightweight title from Eddie Alvarez.

McGregor then fought in a boxing match with Floyd Mayweather last summer in Las Vegas, Nevada where he lost to the boxing legend.

McGregor’s status as an active MMA fighter is on hold once again due to his recent arrest.

Kavanagh recently did an interview where he talked about a potential trilogy fight between Diaz and McGregor.

“Well, you know, it’s one a piece,” Kavanagh told Express Sport when discussing McGregor’s rivalry with Diaz. “It’s one a piece.

And I just think stylistically it’s a good fight. And even the lead-up, there’s a lot of fun in the lead-up. I think they work personality wise against each other in the press room and so on.

“For me, as a fan, I just think it’s a really fun matchup. So the equaliser to be drawn at 155lbs, I just think it would put a nice exclamation point and underline that part of his life. But it doesn’t look like it’s mean to be, at least not now. So we’ll see.”

Nate Diaz Explains What Is Preventing Him From UFC Return

There is one problem standing in the way of Nate Diaz fighting again.

The post Nate Diaz Explains What Is Preventing Him From UFC Return appeared first on LowKickMMA.com.

Nate Diaz has made it clear that he wants to return to the Octagon for another fight.

Diaz has not been seen in the Octagon since his rematch with Conoe McGregor back at UFC 202 when he suffered a majority decision loss which came five months after Diaz submitted McGregor in their first bout at UFC 196.

Diaz has been biding his time since a third bout has been off the table with McGregor.

The younger Diaz brother was in attendance for Saturday’s Bellator 199 event on the Paramount Network at the SAP Center in San Jose, California, which was headlined by Ryan Bader picking up a first round knockout victory over Muhammed Lawal in the quarterfinals of the Bellator heavyweight tournament.

After the event, Diaz spoke with MMAJunkie about his desire to once again compete inside of the Octagon under the UFC banner.

“I’ve been trying to get in there and get going,” Diaz told MMAjunkie. “I’ve been wanting to get in there and get going this year. I just got this lawsuit out of the way that I’ve been going through for the last two years, so I wasn’t even able to fight. So that’s all done and over, and I’m ready to get back to fighting if I’m going to be fighting anymore. I’m training until there’s something good to do here.”

Earlier this week, UFC President Dana White dropped some major news on the latest episode of UFC Unfiltered, which was the confirmation that they were planning Diaz versus Georges St-Pierre for the upcoming UFC 227 pay-per-view event.

Diaz stated in this interview that he is not accepting that fight.

“No, I’m not fighting that fight,” Diaz said. “Like I said (on Facebook), he cheated when he fought my brother (Nick Diaz at UFC 158 in 2013), so I just had to bring up old sh-t because they’re trying to brush it off like it’s nothing,” Diaz said. “I got other sh-t to do, and it was just weird because we never even really talked about it.”

“There was a fight I asked them for, and now that (bout) that fell through, we’re back to square one,” said Diaz, who declined to identify his opponent request.

“What people don’t understand is that any fight I fight is going to be a money fight,” Diaz said. “I’m not waiting for anybody. I’m just waiting for a motherf-cker to do something. Let’s get a real fight going. I’m not going to be involved in no weak sh-t.”

Diaz made it clear that no one interest in him right now in the promotion and that includes former UFC lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez and former title contender Kevin Lee.

“Nobody interests me right now, but I’m interested in doing something,” Diaz said. “I don’t think the UFC wants any of those fights to happen because we haven’t been talking about none of them. So time will tell.”

With reports of his long-awaited UFC return running rampant, Nate Diaz made headlines of a different sort by getting into a physical incident with Clay Guida at an MMA event in California last night.

The altercation, which was chronicled by Guida’s teammate Team Alpha Male teammate Tyler Diamond (or at least his side of the story), took place at Friday night’s Combate Americas 20 in Sacramento, Calif.

The scene allegedly unfolded when someone from Diaz’ entourage pushed Guida in the back, followed by Diamond getting slapped by someone when he tried to simmer the melee.

Combate Americas is currently investigating the incident, but for now, you can watch a video of the chaos including the hilarious event of a large shirtless man plummeting over a security rail courtesy of Fancy combat on YouTube:
