Nate Diaz only wants Conor McGregor trilogy fight Ultimate Fighter season five winner Nate Diaz wants his long-awaited comeback fight to be a trilogy fight with McGregor, according to Eddie Alvarez. “The more I think about it, the more I’m like: When Conor takes a break, Nate takes a break,” Alvarez said during an appearance on The MMA Hour. “Conor’s like, ‘I ain’t fighting until August,’ and Nate’s like, ‘Well, I ain’t fighting until July,’ or some sh*t. "I guess his ego doesn’t let him say, ‘I just want to fight Conor.’ Just say it. Like, just be honest with everyone. “If that’s who you want to fight, there’s nothing wrong with that. But don’t call everyone out if you don’t have any intention of fighting anybody. “You’re getting a bunch of fans excited who you’re just bullsh*tting. If you don’t want any work from any lightweight in the division, then just don’t say anything to any of the lightweights in the division and everything will be cool. “But when you say things like that, you should be ready to at least fight somebody.”
Conor McGregor to be stripped of his title in April The UFC brass won't relieve McGregor of the lightweight title until the upcoming 155lbs bout between Tony Ferguson and Khabib Nurmagomedov is official, according to Alvarez. “What’s going on is that this fight is 0 for 3. They’re not going to strip Conor of a belt and then have a vacant title for a fight that’s 0 for 3,” Alvarez said during an appearance on The MMA Hour.
