Nate Diaz Shows Support for Conor McGregor After UFC 329 Injury

Nate Diaz has publicly supported Conor McGregor after the latter's brief return to the octagon at UFC 329, where he faced Max Holloway. McGregor's comeback was cut short due to an injury sustained when he landed awkwardly on his right leg after a missed flying kick, which is expected to keep him sidelined for about a year.

Prior to the event, Diaz was considered a potential opponent for McGregor, but instead fought Mike Perry, losing by TKO. In a recent interview, Diaz acknowledged McGregor's continued appeal as a fighter and expressed sympathy for his injury, sending positive thoughts for his recovery. He also mentioned his intention to keep winning, with hopes of a future matchup against McGregor.

While McGregor has hinted at a possible return in Summer 2027, this timeline remains uncertain. A trilogy fight between Diaz and McGregor could be a significant event for the UFC if both fighters are fit and willing to compete.
