Conor McGregor seems willing to take on both Diaz brothers after a post on Twitter

Former two-division UFC Champion Conor McGregor might be retired but he still seems keen to face both Nick and Nate Diaz.

The Diaz brothers are two of the biggest names in the MMA world and are two of the toughest men in the sport too.

Nate Diaz hasn’t been active since losing the BMF fight to Jorge Masvidal. However, he is keen on returning to action in the Octagon with a rematch against Masvidal rumoured.

Nick, for his part, hasn’t four for years but sent the world crazy recently. The older Diaz brother was seen cutting weight and looking in great shape. His manager also confirmed that Nick was looking for a fight in 2021.

A Twitter account posted a picture of both Diaz brothers suggesting that they were ready for a fight. However, McGregor posted a brilliant reply that got many talking:

McGregor making a return?

The Notorious One had confirmed that he was out of the fight game recently, but these are a couple of matches that would go down well.

McGregor has done it all in the UFC, apart from defeating Khabib Nurmagomedov for the Lightweight title.

The Irishman had lost to Nick Diaz at UFC 196 but defeated him in their rematch at UFC 202. However, McGregor hasn’t fought since defeating Donald Cerrone at UFC 246. While this could be just some jest from the Irishman’s side, many fans believed this was a sign of McGregor’s return.

Many, on the other hand, believed McGregor didn’t stand a chance against either of the Diaz brothers, even if Nate hasn’t fought in years.
