Former two-time foe of Conor McGregor, Nate Diaz has backed the Dubliner’s choice to withdraw from his UFC 303 return this weekend after suffering a fractured toe – citing the exit from the bout through injury as a “good idea”.
McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight and featherweight champion, ruled him from a return at UFC 303 this weekend during International Fight Week, seeing a bout with rival, Michael Chandler fall to the wayside after another injury setback.
Revealing x-rays of a fractured toe on his left foot – the same leg in which he fractured a left tibia and fibula on back in 2021, McGregor revealed he would be eligible to return at the end of August, if not September.
