The rivalry between Conor McGregor e Nate diaz seems to be far from having an end point. At least if it depends on the North American. Diaz, who lost the rematch to McGregor at UFC 202 last Saturday (20), published on his Instagram account a photo of the end of the fight between the two, followed by a message teasing his rival: “At that moment, I had already deleted a possibility of a rematch… Rest. I'm going to catch you…”, implying that he hopes for a third duel with the Irishman.

It's worth remembering that Nate has already declared that he won't return to the octagons before the trilogy with Conor. The fighter, according to the website of the North American broadcaster “FOX Sports”, stated: “I'm not going to do shit until we go to round 3. You won't see me until then. If they want to score as quickly as possible, let’s go.”

This is the second time this week alone that Diaz has provoked McGregor on social media. Yesterday (23), through his Twitter account, he posted: “Hahaha you didn't even win”, alluding to the final result of the second fight between them, in which the featherweight champion won by decision of the judges.

The rivalry between Conor McGregor e Nate diaz started in March of this year, when Nate replaced the Brazilian Rafael dos Anjos and faced McGregor in the main fight of UFC 196. On that occasion, Diaz submitted Conor with a rear naked choke in the second round of the fight.
