Meanwhile, McGregor has remained with the UFC and returned after a five-year absence to face Max Holloway, where he suffered an early injury. Diaz recently spoke to MMA Fighting on SBN about his enthusiasm for a McGregor matchup, stating, "Conor [McGregor] is a f***er.
But Conor is a fighter. He's someone you want to see." Diaz also offered encouragement for McGregor's comeback, wishing him success and expressing his intentions to deliver a strong performance should they face off again. As of now, no upcoming fights are scheduled for Diaz or McGregor.
