However, his return plans were ruined as he tore his ACL and meniscus in just 69 seconds and lost via TKO (injury).<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Notorious\u201d underwent surgery a few weeks ago and expects to return during International Fight Week 2027 for the final fight of his UFC contract. After that, he will become a free agent, and the 38-year-old\u2019s recent remarks suggest that he may not be interested in re-signing with the UFC.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Diaz, meanwhile, is currently a free agent. The 41-year-old returned to MMA earlier this year after a four-year hiatus to face Mike Perry at MVP MMA 1 and suffered a\u00a0second-round TKO loss\u00a0after taking heavy damage and being bloodied, prompting his corner to stop the bout.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Diaz and McGregor each hold one UFC win over the other. With the Irishman heading toward free agency, a third meeting could take place in the boxing ring under the MVP, Ki MMA, or BKFC banner.<\/p>\n<p>LAS VEGAS, NV \u2013 AUGUST 20:   (R-L) Conor McGregor of Ireland and Nate Diaz raise their hands and wait to hear the judges decision after their welterweight bout during the UFC 202 event at T-Mobile Arena on August 20, 2016 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
