Conor McGregor believes a trilogy fight with Nate Diaz is inevitable as his former rival prepares for his final UFC outing.
Diaz will take to the octagon for the final time tonight when he takes on Tony Ferguson at UFC 279 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. He was set to face Khamzat Chimaev but the Chechen star missed weight which saw Ferguson step in as a late replacement for Diaz's curtain call.
Diaz had several potential options for his final bow, including a third fight with McGregor, but it appears Diaz will depart the UFC. McGregor has saluted his rival for his career while hinting at a third showdown, tweeting: "Congrats Nate Diaz on making it to the end of his contractual obligations with the UFC, and as a bonafide superstar goer. An incredible feat. Fair play. Our trilogy will happen."
