Nate Diaz says Conor McGregor is ‘scared for his life’ over potential trilogy fight

A third fight between UFC fan favorites Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz is surely inevitable, but Stockton’s own Diaz thinks ‘The Notorious’ is terrified over the prospect of another grudge match in the Octagon.

Diaz, 33, submitted McGregor at UFC 196 but lost in the blockbuster rematch at UFC 202, dropping a majority decision to the Irishman at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

The Californian hasn’t fought since that epic rematch in 2016 and, when asked about a potential trilogy bout by TMZ Sports, Diaz started shadowboxing on the street and said he thinks McGregor is “scared for his life”.
