NATE DIAZ IS adamant that he has no interest in another rematch against Conor McGregor to break the deadlock and complete their UFC trilogy.

“I don’t want a fucking third fight,” Diaz told Ariel Helwani on Wednesday’s episode of the MMA Hour.

“Fuck Conor. He can fucking fight himself.”

Diaz stunned McGregor and the fighting world at UFC 196 in March 2016 when he handed the Dubliner the first defeat of his UFC career.

McGregor bounced back and beat Diaz on points in a five-round epic at UFC 202 that summer, and then went on to make history by beating Eddie Alvarez to become the first simultaneous two-weight champion in the organisation’s history.

‘The Notorious’ is currently taking a break from the Octagon with his partner Dee Devlin due to give birth to the couple’s first child later this month, while much of the talk about his fighting future has surrounded a potential multi-million superfight against Floyd Mayweather.

Following suggestions from the McGregor camp that Diaz should face Tony Ferguson, the lightweight division’s number two, as a possible precursor to a rubber match against McGregor, the Stockton brawler says he has no interest.

“He fucking got his ass whooped, he got choked, and now he’s justifying it because the decision went to him (at UFC 202) because the company wanted it to go to him.

“If I get my fucking ass whooped by somebody, I don’t just win a slight decision and then accept it as a win. So the real champ is right here.

“I’m the two-time world champ, because I whipped his fucking ass after he fought Jose Aldo and I whipped his ass right before he fought Eddie Alvarez.

“And he knocked these guys out and everybody seems to have forgot what happened.”
