Conor McGregor vs. Nate Diaz and 4 other trilogy fights UFC fans need to see

#2. Valentina Shevchenko vs. Amanda Nunes

Amanda Nunes (L) and Valentina Shevchenko (R) have a combined record of 44-8

Most people believe that Valentina Shevchenko and Amanda Nunes are the two greatest female fighters in MMA history. While ’The Lioness’ may have won both their first two fights, the second result was highly controversial. Nunes’ recent loss could actually make Shevchenko the favorite in a trilogy fight.

Nunes is no longer a two-division champion after her shocking loss to Julianna Peña, although she will have a chance to get that one back in their upcoming rematch. Shevchenko, on the other hand, has not stumbled in the flyweight division, even if her most recent title defense was admittedly closer than most.

With both women just starting to appear human for the first time in several years, it does seem like a good idea to schedule their third fight before too long. Shevchenko will have a strong case to challenge whoever wins between Peña and Nunes, but a trilogy bout for the title would be truly special.

#1. Conor McGregor vs. Nate Diaz

Conor McGregor (L) and Nate Diaz (R) have a combined record of 42-19

Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz may have the best rivalry in MMA history. The two unique characters are effortlessly entertaining when they go back-and-forth and have also proven they can put on unbelievable performances against one another. With the series tied at 1-1, it would be a real shame if fans never got a third chapter.

The first bout between this pair was a shocking one—Nate Diaz abruptly ended the tidal wave momentum that had been surrounding Conor McGregor by winning via rear-naked choke. After Diaz’s submission win, McGregor demanded an immediate rematch and got his wish, this time winning a tight decision victory.

Nate Diaz is clearly unhappy with his current situation in the UFC and may leave the organization before we can get the McGregor bout. Audiences hope that is not the case, as seeing McGregor and Diaz go at it a third time would be a dream come true for fight fans everywhere.
