Nate Diaz hopes for UFC return, wants White House card

Nate Diaz aims to kick ass on one of the most unexpected scenes possible: the White House.

The MMA star tells TMZ Sports he’s game if talk of a potential fight card tied to the nation’s capital becomes a reality…making it clear that the idea of ​​scrapping her under the red, white and blue spotlight has his full attention.

“Yeah, that would be great too,” Diaz said. “The American gang, baby. You already know what’s going on.”

While Diaz is excited about the possibility of fighting on a patriotic mega-card, he says he’s not picky about opponents — as long as it’s a legitimate, high-profile fight.

And if he gets his way, the White House event could feature some familiar names from his past.

Diaz says he wants to revisit his legendary rivalry with Conor McGregor for a trilogy fight – a fight that would instantly become one of the biggest possible attractions for a blockbuster event.

He also called Dustin Poirier as another potential opponent, although Diaz didn’t exactly extend the olive branch… saying he’d be willing to fight him “if he stops being such a dick.”

Diaz even floated Mike Perry as another name he would gladly use…making it clear that he is ready to take on any match that brings him back into what he calls “real action”.

The 40-year-old last fought in the UFC in 2022, but his message is now loud and clear: he is ready to return.
