Nate Diaz, the former UFC superstar, is now looking towards a comeback to the ring. His interest was piqued after witnessing Jake Paul take on Mike Tyson last weekend. Millions around the world tuned in, but the fight's entertainment level left many disappointed as Paul emerged victorious with a unanimous decision.

Nate Diaz's Path to a Comeback in Combat Sports

Potential Clash with Canelo Alvarez

Paul has his sights set on a potential fight with Canelo Alvarez after his win over Tyson. However, Diaz could also be vying for a rematch with Paul. He fell short in their previous boxing fight last year but is now eyeing a return to either the cage or the Octagon in 2025. After earning his first professional boxing win earlier this year, Diaz is ready to make a significant impact.

Diaz, at 39 years old, remains one of combat sports' biggest stars despite his up-and-down fighting record in recent years. A UFC comeback, especially against a big-name opponent, could earn him a multi-million-dollar payday.

Following the social media silence after Paul vs. Tyson, Diaz is eager to get back in the mix. Whether it's in boxing or MMA, as 2025 approaches, he is ready to make his mark.

Teasing the Fighting Comeback on Instagram

In a recent Instagram post, Diaz reacted to Paul vs. Tyson by teasing his fighting comeback. He posted, "Fuck this watching shit." This shows his determination and eagerness to get back in the ring.

Diaz last fought in July when he defeated former UFC foe Jorge Masvidal in a boxing clash. He won by majority decision after a back-and-forth battle in the ring.

Before that, he defeated Tony Ferguson at UFC 279 in 2022. Just weeks after submitting Ferguson, Diaz walked away from the promotion to pursue other ventures outside of MMA.

Potential UFC Comeback and the Conor McGregor Trilogy

UFC CEO Dana White remains open to re-signing Diaz after his 2022 departure. McGregor, on the other hand, hasn't fought since a loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264.

McGregor was supposed to headline UFC 303 in his long-awaited comeback fight against Michael Chandler. But he withdrew due to a toe injury, postponing his return.

Diaz and McGregor both want to settle their rivalry with a trilogy fight in the UFC. Their previous two encounters set numerous pay-per-view benchmarks, especially their rematch at UFC 202.

Diaz has several options for his next fighting venture, including a potential rematch with Paul in the boxing ring. In the meantime, we are eagerly awaiting more clarity on the Stockton superstar's next move.
