Although the rivals may not always see eye to eye, Nate Diaz is on Conor McGregor’s side regarding his decision to pull out of UFC 303 due to injury.
McGregor, who has won and lost against Diaz in their infamous UFC rivalry, has been on a collision course with Michael Chandler since Season 30 of “The Ultimate Fighter.” The fight was finally scheduled for International Fight Week at UFC 303, but a broken toe prompted McGregor to pull out.
While many have used the injury as an opportunity to take shots at McGregor, who hasn’t competed since breaking his leg against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in 2021, Diaz thinks the Irishman made the right move to wait until he’s healthy to return.
