UFC star Nate Diaz is looking to face Tony Ferguson, a fan favorite.
The Ultimate Fighter Season Five winner Diaz was willing to take on the former interim lightweight champion at UFC 213 July 2017, but made a quick U-turn.
Nate Diaz, a fan favourite, is eager to return to the octagon.
The youngest Diaz brother, El Cucuy, has apparently refocused his sights on Ferguson. He cryptically posted a photo of El Cucuy with the interim 155lb championship belt in his hands after his UFC216 win over Kevin Lee.
Diaz's tweet caused a stir in the MMA community, with fans salivating at the possibility Battle of California.
Conor McGregor, his old rival, quickly noticed it and was compelled to comment.
McGregor replied with an image from his UFC 264 post-fight interview in which he furiously told Joe Rogan that his rivalry against Dustin Poirier is not over'.
A fan asked The Notorious if he would like to share the octagon before he called it quits.
The UFC's poster child didn't mince words when he expressed his desire to fight the duo.
McGregor stated in a now-deleted Tweet: "Both at one stage, irregardless.
"Two bowls salsa verde are coming up!" #splatter
Diaz, 36 years old, is eager to fight in the octagon for the last fight of his lucrative contract.
Stockton's slugger was last seen in action at UFC 263, where his defeat to Brit Leon Edwards was unanimous.
Ferguson had previously competed at UFC 262, where his third loss was to Beneil Dariush.
McGregor is still healing from the fractured leg he sustained in his ill-fated Trilogy fight with Poirier.
Audie Attar, his manager, recently stated to SunSport that "He's ahead on schedule."
"We received our x-ray results back, but we also got our CT scan and ultrasound results.
"And when I see the x-ray view myself, it's healing me so beautifully.
"He is walking now after only 10 and-a-half weeks of surgery.
"And he's doing s**t we don't want him do, like throwing the first pitch at the Cubs Game."
