After opening up the fight with a flying kick that missed the mark, McGregor landed awkwardly on his right leg and is expected to miss another year of competition.<\/p>\n<p>It was a disappointing end to McGregor\u2019s latest MMA chapter after five years away from the Octagon entering UFC 329. Before Max Holloway was booked for McGregor\u2019s comeback fight, two-time foe Nate Diaz was rumored to be the top candidate for McGregor\u2019s return.<\/p>\n<p>After the McGregor trilogy didn\u2019t come to fruition, Diaz opted to fight Mike Perry at Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano, losing by TKO. Diaz\u2019s MMA future remains uncertain, although he\u2019s in the mix to fight Jake Paul in an MMA rematch.<\/p>\n<p>Despite Diaz and McGregor\u2019s tense past, Diaz wasn\u2019t happy to see his former foe\u2019s latest setback at UFC 329.<\/p>\n<h2>Nate Diaz sends Conor McGregor \u2018positive vibes\u2019 during latest injury recovery<\/h2>\n<p>In a recent interview with <em>MMA Junkie<\/em>, Diaz was asked about McGregor\u2019s future and the possibility of a trilogy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cConor is a f\u2014\u2013, but Conor is a fighter,\u201d Diaz said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s someone you want to see. I\u2019m not trying to kill him off. I\u2019m not trying to be killed off by a guy trying to make a comeback. I\u2019m trying to fight a big fight to move up in the fight program. I feel bad for him. I hope he does good. Positive vibes for the comeback.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll start whooping a\u2013 and doing good, and then I\u2019m going to whoop his ass.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McGregor envisions a return to the Octagon in Summer 2027, although that\u2019s a tentative plan for the superstar\u2019s comeback. Meanwhile, Diaz could still potentially return to the UFC if the trilogy with McGregor is offered.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Will a Conor McGregor vs. Nate Diaz trilogy happen?
