Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz appear to be back at it. The old rivals have been circling each other for months with a trilogy fight looming.
Recently, talks of Nate Diaz's contract status have been everywhere. There is a rumor that the former lightweight is on the last fight of his contract and the UFC doesn't want him to fight out his deal.
Surprisingly enough, Dominic Cummins came out and gave Nate Diaz advice on what to do next. Urging him not to re-sign with the UFC.
“Do not sign new UFC contract,” Cummins tweeted to Diaz. “You will make more cash outside AND @danawhite will come do a deal at some point for trilogy @TheNotoriousMMA fight, but outside you’ll have much more leverage & make more $. Look how they screwed @GeorgesStPierre, now waiting for contract to expire.”
It didn't take long for Conor McGregor to respond to the advice. He wanted to remind Nate Diaz that he helped “make him.” The response came out of nowhere.

“Advised by who?” McGregor tweeted. “Does this lanky streak of piss think he business savvy or something? Hey bro. You’d 15 fights in the ufc and were on 20k to fight 20k to win hahahaha 15 fucking fights. In the ufc! Eyelid hanging off your head and handed a 20k check pre tax. Know who made you.”
The comments were interesting and not completely off base. Nate Diaz did blow up in popularity following the first fight against Conor McGregor.
It's unclear if the two will ever fight again. Conor McGregor is still recovering and Nate Diaz has been rumored to fight Vicente Luque.
