According to ESPN, UFC lightweight Nate Diaz is currently negotiating with the promotion to fight at the UFC 227 tournament on August 4 in Los Angeles, USA.

"He cannot get a fight with McGregor. Nate is in search of a battle, which will bring him a large purse and will generate interest from the public," said Nate's sparring partner, Jake Shields, on the air of The MMA Hour.

In March 2016, Diaz shocked the world of mixed martial arts, overcoming the pain of Conor McGregor. Five months later, the Irishman took revenge, defeating him by the majority decision.
