NSAC doubles down on punishment for UFC 329 fighters, fines Paddy Pimblett and two other big names
Credit: Zuffa LLCUFC legend Nate Diaz showed uncharacteristic support for Conor McGregor after the former two-division champ's failed comeback.
Conor McGregor's UFC 329 comeback against Max Holloway lasted just a couple of minutes earlier this year. After opening up the fight with a flying kick that missed the mark, McGregor landed awkwardly on his right leg and is expected to miss another year of competition.
It was a disappointing end to McGregor's latest MMA chapter after five years away from the Octagon entering UFC 329. Before Max Holloway was booked for McGregor's comeback fight, two-time foe Nate Diaz was rumored to be the top candidate for McGregor's return.
After the McGregor trilogy didn't come to fruition, Diaz opted to fight Mike Perry at Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano, losing by TKO. Diaz's MMA future remains uncertain, although he's in the mix to fight Jake Paul in an MMA rematch.
Despite Diaz and McGregor's tense past, Diaz wasn't happy to see his former foe's latest setback at UFC 329.
Nate Diaz sends Conor McGregor ‘positive vibes' during latest injury recovery
In a recent interview with MMA Junkie, Diaz was asked about McGregor's future and the possibility of a trilogy.
“Conor is a f—–, but Conor is a fighter,†Diaz said.
“He's someone you want to see. I'm not trying to kill him off. I'm not trying to be killed off by a guy trying to make a comeback. I'm trying to fight a big fight to move up in the fight program. I feel bad for him. I hope he does good. Positive vibes for the comeback.
“I'll start whooping a– and doing good, and then I'm going to whoop his ass.â€
McGregor envisions a return to the Octagon in Summer 2027, although that's a tentative plan for the superstar's comeback. Meanwhile, Diaz could still potentially return to the UFC if the trilogy with McGregor is offered.

Alex Pereira says Josh Hokit would be much easier fight than Sergei Pavlovich
Published

Alex
Pereira has explained his frustration with the
Ultimate Fighting Championship's heavyweight matchmaking.Alex Pereira explains UFC matchmaking frustration and why
Pereira has explained his frustration with the
Ultimate Fighting Championship's heavyweight matchmaking.
Pereira (13-4) is scheduled to face Sergei
Pavlovich (21-3) at UFC
335 on Dec. 12 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Meanwhile,
Josh
Hokit (10-0) will face Ciryl Gane
(14-2) for the heavyweight title at UFC
334 on Nov. 14 at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Pereira said he initially expected either a rematch with Gane or a
grudge match against Hokit, but he sees the Pavlovich booking as a
favorable stylistic matchup.
Alex Pereira explains UFC matchmaking frustration and why
Sergei Pavlovich is more dangerous than Josh Hokit
Pereira lost his UFC heavyweight debut to Gane by technical
knockout in an interim title bout at
UFC Freedom 250. After Tom
Aspinall relinquished the undisputed championship, Pereira said
the promotion discussed a title rematch with Gane or a fight
against Hokit, who has repeatedly criticized “Poatan.â€
Pereira considers Hokit an easier opponent than Pavlovich.
Nevertheless, he said a conversation with UFC executive Hunter
Campbell resolved his frustration, and he now looks forward to the
December bout.
“What got me more upset at that time was because they told me that
I was possibly going to fight Gane for the belt or fight Hokit,â€
Pereira told Ariel Helwani. “And then none of that happened. Coming
from a loss, fighting Hokit would be much, much easier for me than
fighting Pavlovich, who’s supposed to be a harder fight. Hokit
would be a much easier fight for me. We got together [with Hunter
Campbell], we talked, we straightened things out, so it was fine.
Pavlovich is a little more dangerous opponent, but looking at it in
a technical way today, I see that it’s actually also a very good
fight for me.â€

Islam Makhachev reveals why he turned down January fight with Carlos Prates
Published
15 hours agoon
October 25, 2026
Islam Makhachev has spoken up about why he's not fighting Carlos Prates in January.
For the last few weeks, the MMA world has been flooded with rumors that Makhachev would defend his welterweight title against Prates at UFC 336 in January; however, on Saturday, the UFC announced that those rumors are untrue. Instead, Prates will take on Michael Morales for an interim welterweight title at UFC 336, with the winner unifying against Makhachev sometime next year.
“Prates and Morales will fight, determine who a true worthy contender, and I will fight [the winner]. They will [fight] among themselves. …
“They offered me a fight with Prates, who recently lost to a [Ian Machado Garry] who I beat. If I beat him, Morales would already be next in line, who's not fighting and waiting for [a title shot]. Just let them fight and we will figure out who is the real challenger.â€
Ramadan begins on Feb. 7 and concludes on March 8 in 2027, meaning it is unlikely we will see Makhachev again until next summer.
