Odds Of Nate Diaz Winning
On top of the McGregor opponent odds board is Nate Diaz with +250 odds. Both McGregor and Diaz have fought twice before splitting both fights. McGregor took the first fight while Diaz was victorious the second. Diaz stepped in on McGregor’s Twitter rant on the lightweight UFC division. You gurls are on the same team — Nathan Diaz. UFC 244 went down last night (Sat., Nov. 2, 2019) inside Madison Square Garden in New York, N.Y., which saw Jorge Masvidal defeat Nate Diaz in a rather anti-climactic ending to an otherwise great.
The UFC’s prodigal son, Nate Diaz, is returning to the promotion.
The longtime fan-favorite will certainly fill 50% of the Diaz-brothers-shaped hole that has been a frustrating presence in the UFC.
Nick, the elder of Stockton, California’s Diaz brothers, has not competed in MMA since January 2015. So, it is nice to have one of the no-nonsense siblings rejoin the world’s foremost mixedmartial arts company.
Diaz’s opponent for his comeback fight is the former UFC lightweight champion, Anthony Pettis. He will be hoping this one ends better than his last bout inside the Octagon.
Diaz’s last bout resulted in what you might refer to as a “lose-win scenario” for the now 34-year-old.
In his highly anticipated rematch with Conor McGregor at UFC 202, the Cesar Gracie BJJ black belt lost by the narrowest of decisions. Disappointing, sure, but at least he got to wipe the tearsoff his face with a cool $13 million in his combined purse and pay-per-view earnings.
No wonder he wanted a little time off.
Now, with fighting back on his mind, the UFC bad boy will be focusing on Pettis and a chance to re-establish himself in the sport.
As with his last two bouts against McGregor, this one will be fought at welterweight. Diaz is 2-3 in his last five fights at 170 pounds while Pettis is 1-0 in the UFC at welterweight following anincredible win over Stephen Thompson in March.
What a fight we have in store.
The fallout from Dustin Poirier's shock second-round KO of Conor McGregor at UFC 257 still hasn't died down.
The Diamond debilitated the Notorious with a series of leg kicks before a flurry of punches sent him hurtling to the canvas.
Unfortunately for the Irishman, some of his enemies just so happen to be among the more vocal big-mouths not only in MMA, but also in his adopted sport of boxing.
Jake Paul inevitably revelled in his emphatic defeat, as did Floyd Mayweather.
Nate Diaz, who of course faced McGregor twice previously - winning one and losing one - has now offered his own thoughts on where his UFC rival went wrong back in January.
Perhaps buoyed by his victory in his initial meeting with Poirier in 2014, Diaz believes McGregor was too 'aggressive'.

Diaz: Where McGregor went wrong
'He landed all good shots, dropping combos on him, and I think he was pushing the pace too hard like he had it in the bag,' Diaz told journalist Ariel Helwani.
'He f***ed up! This happened because he don't want to be in there. He's anxious for the kill because he wants out.
'He should've slowed down a little bit and then he didn't, he pushed the pace and he got caught slipping.
'And the leg [injury] thing? Come on, you were f***ed up the whole time. That's what I think of that fight.'
McGregor responds
Unsurprisingly, it wasn't long before that interview came to McGregor's attention.
The 32-year-old couldn't comment on Diaz's analysis of his style, but he did spot the American sitting in a racing chair as he voiced his criticism.
That led to a string of tweets from McGregor mocking him.
We believe the term is 'rattled'.

Long may this beef continue, as it can only heighten the chances of a trilogy being completed.
