MMA analyst John McCarthy has given his thoughts on the possibility of Nate Diaz squaring off with Max Holloway for the BMF title. As we know, Nate Diaz is one of the most popular fighters in mixed martial arts history. He’s always been a bit of an enigma, but it was his two-fight series against Conor McGregor that really helped take him to the next level. He was able to prove to the masses that he belongs on the big stage and while his UFC run was inconsistent from that point on, he still managed to pick up a few nice wins here and there.

UFC legend Jon Jones is reportedly set for two bench trials following his leaving the scene incident back in February. As we know, Jon Jones is the definition of a controversial figure in mixed martial arts. In addition to his iconic career inside the cage, he’s had plenty of issues outside of it. This includes numerous run-ins with the law, and even within the UFC, he’s had several drug test failures that have led many to question the validity of his position as ‘greatest of all time’.

Jared Cannonier isn’t exactly gung-ho about being booked to fight Michael Page at UFC 319. Cannonier has never been shy to express his dismay over potential matchups that he feels don’t favor his interests. “The Killa Gorilla” has been criticized in the past for dismissing a fight with Khamzat Chimaev, who will be challenging Dricus du Plessis for the UFC Middleweight Championship, unless certain demands were met. He’s under the microscope again for taking exception to his planned bout with “MVP” despite going 1-2 in his last three outings.

It seems as if Conor McGregor may finally be getting serious about an active return to the Ultimate Fighting Championship. For the longest time, fans and pundits alike have been questioning whether or not we’ll ever see Conor McGregor fight again in mixed martial arts. There’s certainly not a shortage of opponents who would be willing to step into the Octagon to face him – but really, that’s not the point. The point is that the Irishman is pretty erratic these days, especially with what he’s doing outside of the cage.

He’s also a two-weight UFC champion, currently holding the gold at lightweight after vacating his strap at 145 pounds.
