There is only a handful of UFC stars that make sense to Nate Diaz during this time.
After boxing Jake Paul and Jorge Masvidal in Free Agency, Stockton's UFC legend Nate Diaz is ready to return to the Octagon, that is to say for the right fight.
After having won his contract on 'The Ultimate Fighter 5' in 2007, Diaz fought until 2022 under the UFC banner and left with another vintage performance above Tony Ferguson on UFC 279.
Speaking with full violence about a potential comeback More than two years later, says Diaz, 39, 'Nobody is doing -' in Prime Minister MMA Promotion at the moment, completely empty in the name of Belal Muhammad When asked who the current UFC Welterweight Champion is
“Why would I go back to the UFC to fight with whom?” Diaz said, not impressed by the UFC grid.

Conor McGregor tops list of potential opponents for Nate Diaz
The obvious fight to take care of Diaz, if he ever came back to the UFC, would be a long -awaited trilogy with rival Conor McGregor.
McGregor and Diaz are all tied in their iconic series on 1-1, Diaz won the first fight through the second round entry on UFC 196 and 'The Notorious' who protects his revenge in the rematch on UFC 202 by majority decision.
Both events performed enormously on pay-per-view with more than 1 million purchases in 2016, some of the highest figures that the company has ever seen, making the trilogy all the more necessary between Diaz and McGregor.
McGregor has not fought since he broke his leg against Dustin Poirier on UFC 264 in 2021, but still remains the largest star of sport.
Jorge Masvidal among candidates for the comeback fight of Nate Diaz
One of the few stars that reach a million pay-per-views is another former enemy of Diaz, Jorge Masvidal.

From Madison Square Garden, Masvidal scored a Doctor's stoppage TKO about Diaz to close a banner year in the UFC after the new Ben Till in five seconds in seconds in seconds in seconds in seconds in seconds in seconds in seconds in seconds in seconds in seconds in seconds in seconds in seconds in seconds in seconds in seconds in seconds.

Diaz and Masvidal did not inhibit the Octagon, but the boxing ring last summer where Diaz was given a controversial victory in the majority.
At the age of age, the 40-year-old Masvidal also spoke about a UFC-Terugkeer, a decent candidate to welcome Diaz back.
Someone Diaz has history, but never fought is former interim champion Dustin Poirier.
Poirier and Diaz would meet each other in a lightweight fight on UFC 230 in 2018, but the matchup never came to Poirier who withdrew because of injury.
Diaz has long been a dream fight of Poirier's and what better way for 'The Diamond' to withdraw from MMA than fighting a colleague legend?
Clueless about who the Welterweight Champion is today (Belal Muhammad), who could forget the time that Diaz Leon Edwards hit UFC 263 – Diaz who almost eliminated the former champion in the last minute of their fight.
Edwards may not have the Welterweight belt, but within the title shot distance the Jamaican-British star will remain this weekend from home with UFC London.
There is a story there with Diaz, a story that could ever be fallen.
The last hunter on our list is a bit out of the left when Donald 'Cowboy' Cerrone is retiring.
Cerrone last fought in 2022, going without a win since 2018. prior to 6 losses and a no contest, 'cowboy' had a memorable ufc career filled with performance bonuses and marquee opponents standing in front of him, some diaz, some diaz, somedoning Rounds Before Defeating Him by Unanimous Decision at UFC 141 in 2011.
Donald Cerrone served as a return fight of Conor McGregor in 2020 and lost to the Irishman by TKO in the greatest fight of his career.
