Nate Diaz will fight for the final time in the UFC during UFC 279, and one of his biggest rivals chimed in on the milestone.
Conor McGregor took to congratulate Diaz on finishing his contract with the UFC.
“Congrats Nate Diaz on making it to the end of his contractual obligations with the UFC, and as a bonafide superstar goer,” he wrote. “An incredible feat. Fair play. Our trilogy will happen.”
The trilogy that McGregor mentioned is, of course, a reference to a potential third bout between the two fighters. McGregor and Diaz split the first two fights against each other, both in 2016, but a deciding third fight hasn’t come to fruition like it once felt like it would.
