On August 26, UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor will step into the boxing ring with undefeated great Floyd Mayweather Jr. in a fight that will see both men pocket north of $100 million. While this boxing mega-bout draws ever closer, the fiercest rival of McGregor’s MMA career thus far, Nate Diaz, is watching on from the sidelines.

Unsurprisingly, the pair posed for a quick photo.

Tony Ferguson is campaigning hard for a fight with Nate Diaz. Ferguson took an opportunity on Monday’s episode of The MMA Hour to go on a verbal onslaught targeting Diaz. With all of the comments that “El Cucuy” is throwing at the Stockton scrapper, it wouldn’t be a surprise if there is some sort of incident between the two that takes place outside of the Octagon if they ever cross paths, as Diaz is no stranger to that.

With that being said, the Diaz brothers and UFC President Dana White have been engaged in several public arguments with their employers over the course of their UFC careers.

Nate Diaz has not fought since August of last year when he and Conor McGregor clashed in their thrilling rematch at UFC 202. Although it was a close fight after five rounds of war, McGregor walked out of the Octagon with a majority decision win.

Diaz stated that he accepted a fight against Tony Ferguson on certain conditions but never ever heard back from the UFC following his counter in negotiation. With all the talk of the Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor boxing match, perhaps the winner of that mega fight is the one Diaz is waiting to cash in on.
