Sherdog’s Top 10: Fights We Want to See in 2016

4. Conor McGregor vs. Nate Diaz

Just imagine the fireworks that would come out of this one, from the action inside the cage to the insane amount of trash talk that would transpire in the months leading up to it. McGregor is the king of bluster, his antics and charisma giving him the tools necessary to sell any fight. There is no chance Diaz would stay quiet with the Irishman in his face; and when the Stockton, California, native starts to run his mouth, a genuine hatred for his opponent develops.

Like his older brother, Diaz will stand right in front of an opponent and invite him to slug it out, mocking him along the way. It does not always work, but Diaz succeeds more often than he fails. McGregor, on the other hand, will gladly take a punch to give one. Just ask Jose Aldo. A McGregor-Diaz bout would be must-see entertainment.
