Cesar Gracie: Demian Maia fight ‘a no-win situation’ for Nate Diaz, Conor McGregor trilogy still ideal plan

Nate Diaz remains one of UFC’s biggest stars despite a clear decision loss to Leon Edwards at this past weekend’s UFC 263 in Glendale, Ariz. His team aims to book him in a fight that reflects that status.

Demian Maia, a fellow longtime veteran of the game, competed in the final bout of his contract with the UFC on that same night, coming up short against Belal Muhammad. Maia didn’t close the door on making a comeback to the cage for one “last dance,” and made it clear on social media by calling for a fight with Diaz.
