Since then, McGregor has been on the sidelines nursing his injury and chomping at the bits to make a swift return to the promotion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Given McGregor\u2019s status as the undisputed top attraction in the sport, he has the power to choose his next opponent, a luxury that not many have in the UFC.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a recent interview, Dana White shared his thoughts on a potential third right between Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz. He said, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cUh you know, we\u2019re still working on that fight. That fight is not done yet.

You know he (McGregor) is chomping at the bits to come back realistically when you look at everything he\u2019s got going on right now, with coming back and other things that need to be done to get ready to come back to prepare again. It is probably going to be early fall.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Conor McGregor vs Nate Diaz the fight to make on McGregor\u2019s return?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nate Diaz is on the last fight of his <a href=\"http:\/\/ufc.com\">UFC<\/a> contract at the moment. The Stockton native does not seem to have any interest in extending it as he has stated multiple times that he is done with the fight game. Diaz has also stated interest in facing Dustin Poirier, who has been reciprocal in the interest of getting a fight done. However, for reasons unknown, the fight has not been signed as of today.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-380011\" src=\"https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/03\/image02-2.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1980\" height=\"1114\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/03\/image02-2.jpeg 1980w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/03\/image02-2-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/03\/image02-2-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/03\/image02-2-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/03\/image02-2-1536x864.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1980px) 100vw, 1980px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conor McGregor will be ready to return to action in a few months from now. By that time, if a fight between Diaz and Poirier is not finalized, the UFC might be inclined to book McGregor against Diaz given it would be a much bigger fight.
