Nate Diaz names Conor McGregor and one other UFC star as two potential future opponents

Nate Diaz recently opened up about a potential return to action and named two UFC superstars who he'd be interested in facing. After leaving the UFC, Diaz made his professional boxing debut against Jake Paul in August 2023, losing the fight via unanimous decision.

He later beat Jorge Masvidal via majority decision in the squared circle in July 2024. Having been away from action for a year, it appears Diaz is eyeing a return to the cage and is hoping for a fight against Conor McGregor or Ilia Topuria. In an appearence on the Out Cold podcast, he said:

“If I could fight anybody right now, I would fight, with all due respect to them, if Conor McGregor came back. Sh**, Conor McGregor. There ain’t nobody else to fight, really, right now. I would like for him to come back and impress everybody first. Not that he needs to, but it would be great to see him back. Everybody’s hating on him. I’d like to beat up somebody on top of the world, and I think he’s got the capability to do that.”

He continued:

“Then that little Ilia Topuria, he’s doing a really good job. He’s a little small for me, but those two are probably the best fights."
