Nate Diaz makes Conor McGregor U-turn to accept trilogy fight

Nate Diaz appears to have now agreed to a trilogy fight with Conor McGregor, just weeks after declaring the pair would never fight again.

The UFC stars each hold a win over one another from their 2016 series of fights, with Diaz winning the first before McGregor earned revenge five months later. But despite the war of words continuing over the years, a trilogy fight has eluded both men amid stop-start runs in the promotion during long lay-offs.

And when Diaz announced last month that he was planning a "retirement" fight with Dustin Poirier, it appeared that fans' hopes of finally seeing the trilogy were to be dashed. But that seems to have changed, with the American now telling McGregor he would be willing to fight him next.
