Nate Diaz targets three marquee opponents for potential UFC return

Nate Diaz is looking for a fight.

At least that was the message from the Stockton, California, native when he briefly spoke to TMZ Sports on the red carpet during a party over Super Bowl weekend.

“I’m ready to get back in real action,” Diaz said in a video that was posted on Monday. “I want to fight either [Conor] McGregor 3. I want to fight maybe Dustin Poirier, if he stops being such a p—y, and then maybe Mike Perry. We’ll see what happens in the future.”

Diaz rose to superstardom thanks to his rivalry with McGregor, particularly when he submitted for the former two-division champion in their first meeting at UFC 196 in March 2016.
