Nate Diaz is confident he will be able to secure a third fight with Conor McGregor despite leaving the UFC this weekend.
The California native has been under contract with MMA's top promotion for over 15 years and leave as one of their most recognisable stars. He was always a hardcore fan favourite and cemented himself as a hero with casuals when he submitted McGregor in a short-notice fight in 2016.
Since that star-making win, however, he has struggled to get on the same page as the promotion, and as a result has spent years at a time out of action and fought just four times since. He lost their rematch at UFC 202 that same summer before being forced out for over three years, going into this weekend's fight with a 1-3 record since beating McGregor.
