The Nate Diaz Conor McGregor fights have been the biggest MMA obsession in 2016. A truly interesting combination of skills in turn produced 2 of the fights that will be remembered in the years to come.
McGregor Granted Boxing Licence, One Step Closer To Mayweather Fight
But perhaps a 3rd one could be in store, maybe even outside the UFC. Following McGregor’s licence approval earlier in late 2016 Nate Diaz has followed his lead.
Diaz is currently applying for a boxing licence in the State of Nevada. The news was first reported by Espn.com
Nevada Athletic Comission’s executive director Bob Bennett confirmed that Diaz has already paid the 50.000$ fine for that water bottle throwing incident involving McGregor. He’s also submitted material of himself boxing and the body in charge expects to approve his licence.
McGregor currently has a boxing licence in California and is trying to get the Nevada one but however he has still to pay up the fine of 75.000$ and 50 hours of community service (and a pSA) for the same incident.
It remains to be seen what implications these developments will have in the Octagon and outside of it.
Back when fight 2 of Diaz McGregor duology was completed Dana white dismissed the 3rd fight.
