Promotional CEO, Dana White has no interest in booking a long-anticipated trilogy rubber match between former two-weight champion, Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz later this year at UFC 306 at the Las Vegas Sphere – despite both fan-favorites expressing their interest in competing on the card.
McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight and featherweight champion under the banner of the promotion, has been sidelined since he fractured his left tibia and fibula back in 2021 against last night’s big winner, Dustin Poirier, in the pair’s heated trilogy rubber match.
And linked with a comeback fight against Conor McGregor in a potential return to the UFC, Stockton veteran, Diaz finished his contractual obligations back in 2022 with a stunning fourth round guillotine choke win over former interim champion, Tony Ferguson.
