Sonnen’s prediction for Nate Diaz
Former UFC fighter and currently analyst Chael Sonnen believes a third Nate Diaz vs Conor McGregor fight is possible, though he acknowledged that there are other options, such as dabbling in WWE or an exhibition boxing fight.
“You want to know what Nate Diaz is going to do next? Unknown,” Sonnen said on The MMA Hour.
“When I tell you unknown, what I’m trying to say is all options are on the table, but that option is also to return to the UFC and to fight Conor McGregor.
“That’s not just gone now, and it has to be Jake Paul or Floyd Mayweather and he’s got to go start his own promotion.
“Those things are all possibilities, but a return is also on the table.
“In fact, I think it’s leading the charge of what’s possible for Nate Diaz.”
