Michael Bisping claims CONOR MCGREGOR or Nate Diaz may be interested in fighting outside the UFC.
McGregor announced last week that their trio fight "will happen" after McGregor had shared two great fights with the duo in 2016.
Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz fought in two epic battles back in 2016.
Michael Bisping shared his thoughts about McGregor vs Diaz 3.
However, now that Diaz's UFC contract is over, the eagerly awaited fight could be held outside of the promotion.
Diaz, 37, beat Tony Ferguson in the fourth round. He is widely expected to join Jake Paul for a fight against him next time.
Bisping, 43 years old, is a former champion of the UFC and believes Diaz will try to make as much money as possible. He also believes that a quick return back to the UFC might be the best option.
The Brit spoke on his YouTube channel and said that he had given a great speech. Joe Rogan handled the interview very well.
He's not talking about boxing. He's talking jiu jitsu. Diaz is a worldwide superstar and an absolute sensation. He's also a highly skilled mixed martial artist.
He can compete in jiujitsu and kickboxing. But you never know what you might see.
"He's going where it pays the most money. The truth is... Diaz doesn’t have many opportunities to make the same amount of money outside of the organization.
"Ofcourse, boxing Jake Paul is the big event, the obvious one and the one everyone is talking about. It's only a once-in-a-lifetime event. Who knows? It is not guaranteed to be a blockbuster.
"It most likely would. Diaz is a draw and Jake Paul is also a draw. That fight would generate a lot of buzz but it would only be one fight. Diaz is 37-years-old. His window of opportunity is closing every day.
"So what? One big fight with Jake Paul. It's rare to have blockbuster paydays like the UFC.
Bisping continued, "So that fight is probably happening, he will make some money and then what?" Bellator? One FC? Boxing with no gloves? His promotion?
"Ofcourse there's Conor McGregor's third fight out there that everyone wants to see. I'm sure Conor McGregor is thinking Real Fights, and that's his promotion. McGregor Sports and Entertainment will be up against him.
"They fight each other in a big fight and they split the pot 50/50. They make all the money.
Conor McGregor is currently under contract with UFC. Although I don't have the status of his contract, he is under contract. They're likely to offer him another sensational contract since Conor draws in the most people of any fighter.
"So, what I am saying is that the fight won't materialize anytime soon and we'll likely see Nate Diaz potentially sign with UFC. It would not surprise me."
McGregor, 34 years old, took exception Saturday night to Diaz's claim he had failed to conquer the world of boxing.
Stockton's legend stated that he wanted to leave the UFC and show UFC fighters how it is done.
"Because Conor McGregor did not know how to do this, and because none of these fighters do.
The Notorious replied with the following tweet: "Ah, bro I'm absolutely disgusting. And it's so good.
"This is something that has never been done before. Please, You have nothing to do with me.
"Respect, please. I'd slap you around handy. Tony was easy. Tony would have been cut in half. 2 heads of ham balls.
Respect the King
