Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz are being "groomed" to finally settle their years-long rivalry with a trilogy fight, according to UFC legend Chael Sonnen.
The former middleweight and light heavyweight title contender has said that he believes McGregor's long-awaited return to the octagon will come against one of his oldest enemies in Diaz. And he thinks that the seeds are already being planted for the fight to happen over six years after their rematch, which McGregor won by majority decision at UFC 202.
McGregor and Diaz's feud began by chance when the Irishman was set to fight for his second world title at lightweight against Rafael Dos Anjos. The Brazilian injured his foot and was forced out of their UFC 196 main event, allowing Diaz to step in and land a major upset with his rear naked choke victory.
