UFC legend Chael Sonnen that Nate Diaz has blown the opportunity to earn as much as $12million for a trilogy fight with Conor McGregor by leaving the promotion.
Diaz is currently 1-1 with the biggest star in all of MMA, having beaten him in their hastily-arranged 2016 bout at UFC 196 before losing their rematch at UFC 202 a few months later. The trilogy has been talked about at length over the past six years, but has never happened as the Irishman moved on to another world title and a boxing match of his own with Floyd Mayweather.
Now, it appears that the third bout may never happen with Diaz leaving the UFC following his win earlier this month over Tony Ferguson. The American is now turning his attention to the boxing world, where Jake Paul is an expected opponent among other possible names.
