Colby Covington has claimed Conor McGregor will face Nate Diaz on his return from injury which would open up the opportunity for him to face Dustin Poirier.
McGregor has yet to set a return date as he continues his recovery from a broken leg but has been paired with a number of opponents including in a trilogy bout with Diaz.
Diaz has verbally agreed to a bout with Poirier but a deal is yet to be officially confirmed with the 36-year-old having just one fight remaining on his current UFC deal.
