McGregor, despite not having fought since his injury at UFC 264 against Dustin Poirier in 2021, remains one of the biggest draws in the combat sports industry. His potential return to action has been the subject of ongoing speculation, whether inside the UFC Octagon or elsewhere. A matchup against Diaz, regardless of platform, would guarantee significant commercial interest, given the history of their rivalry.

The rivalry between McGregor and Diaz began in 2016, when Diaz shocked the MMA world by defeating McGregor via submission on short notice. McGregor would later avenge the loss in a closely contested rematch, which created one of the most memorable rivalries in UFC history. Since then, discussions about a potential trilogy fight have never faded, though timing and circumstances have delayed its realization.

With BKFC continuing to grow and both Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz seeking opportunities that align with their star power and legacy, the idea of a trilogy fight outside the UFC carries more weight than ever before. Such a matchup would not only settle one of combat sports’ most storied rivalries but also mark a significant moment in the evolution of alternative promotions challenging the traditional MMA structure.

Nate Diaz calls out Terence Crawford for potential boxing bout

Terence Crawford’s career reached another milestone when he defeated Canelo Alvarez to become the undisputed super middleweight champion. The win solidified his legacy as one of the greatest boxers of his era, adding to previous undisputed reigns. Following the fight, Crawford’s dominance sparked immediate attention, with names from both boxing and mixed martial arts weighing in on his next move.
