The head of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), Dana White, has named a possible opponent for the Irishman Conor McGregor, who should return to performances in 2022. It is reported by The Sun.
36-year-old American Nate Diaz signed a new contract with the promotion. “Can he fight McGregor again? Maybe. I think Conor will be back in the summer. There is no absolute certainty yet, it all depends on his condition, ”White said.
“When McGregor contacts me and makes it clear that he is training at full strength, then we will begin to seriously discuss something,” the head of the UFC added.
McGregor continues to recover from an injury sustained in his third fight against Dustin Poirier. The Irishman broke his leg at the end of the first round and lost by technical knockout. After the fight, he underwent surgery.
Diaz and McGregor have already fought in the UFC. The American managed to inflict the first defeat on his opponent under the auspices of the promotion in March 2016. In August of the same year, McGregor took revenge.
