Conor McGregor will headline UFC 329 on July 11 in Las Vegas against Max Holloway in a rematch from 2013. Rumors have suggested additional fights remain on McGregor’s contract, and fans have speculated about a trilogy with Nate Diaz. Diaz left the UFC and took a boxing payday against Jake Paul. At the MVP MMA: Rousey vs. Carano event in Los Angeles streamed on Netflix, Diaz fought Mike Perry in the co-main event and was battered until his corner stopped the fight. Diaz acknowledged he likely could not do much more. McGregor responded on social media with insults and a hashtag referencing a trilogy and needing money. Diaz and McGregor previously fought at UFC 196 and UFC 202, with Diaz submitting McGregor first and McGregor winning the rematch at 170 pounds.
"McGregor will headline UFC 329 on July 11 in Las Vegas, facing off against Max Holloway in a rematch dating back to their first encounter in 2013, which McGregor won."
"Diaz looked slow, tired, and was battered, beaten, and bloodied by Perry, the BKFC "King of Violence" before the Stockton native's corner threw in the towel. Even Diaz didn't seem too out of sorts over the turn of events, admitting that he wasn't likely going to be able to do much more in the fight."
"Taking to social media, McGregor wrote "I see why Nate Diaz didn't take the fight lol. Anyway here's to when I get my hands on you, you lanky streak of piss." McGregor signed off with the hashtag #TrilogyAndIGonnaNeedMyMoney"
"Diaz and McGregor first faced off at UFC 196 in March 2016, with Nate replacing Rafael dos Anjos, who pulled out of a lightweight title fight due to injury. The bout was contested at 170lbs, with Diaz submitting McGregor and handing him his first loss in the UFC. A rematch, which McGregor insisted take place at the same weight, unfolded at UFC 202 that August, with the Irish star winning a decision to even the pair's series."
