Conor McGregor agrees to fight Nate Diaz in UFC comeback

UFC superstar Conor McGregor has accepted Nate Diaz 's challenge for a return to the promotion, but it doesn't involve the trilogy bout mixed martial arts fans have been yearning for.

But rather than give fans the trilogy fight they've been waiting for, Diaz suggested his long-time rival uses Chimaev as a tune-up opponent following his lengthy absence from the cage."Let him fight kamrat that be a great fight to make," wrote the Stockton native. "He needs a easy new guy to fight anyway he can taper back in and see if he can even still fight at all."

Chimaev, 27, could be considered the Dubliner's worst possible matchup for a comeback bout, offering maximum threat without much for the veteran to gain even if he wins. "You know that you have the last chance to stay in UFC, but @danawhite wants me to smash you, and you know that I will do so run skinny boy," replied the Stockholm-based star.

Please. I was enjoying my Saturday nite.
