McGregor appreciated the endorsement from Diaz

"Nate is a great fighter. Our fights with him were real fights, we just stood across from each other and fought. Nate and Nick are two real fighters. I've always had the greatest respect for them. I was also a fan of their performances and then when I had the opportunity to share the octagon with Nate, we rolled wars. I appreciate the fact that I had the opportunity to meet him and I appreciate the support I got from Nate. I want to wish him all the best. I will always pray that my past opponents and potential future opponents succeed. And our third fight with him will be a huge event," McGregor was quoted as saying by MMA Fighting.
