Conor McGregor has told Nate Diaz 'number three is always here' ahead of a potential trilogy fight in the future.
The Irishman made his UFC return last night and defeated Donald 'Cowboy' Cerrone in 40 seconds.
It's no secret that he wants to fight again this year and one potential opponent is Nate Diaz, who he battled twice in 2016.

When asked about a future third fight with the American following last night's fight, McGregor told reporters:
"Let's go Nathan, let's go brother!"
Number three, it's always here, so, we're right here Nathan."
Diaz had taken to Twitter during last night's main event and he didn't seem impressed with 'Notorious' in his comeback.

He also tweeted 'This is gonna be easy' which has since been deleted.
McGregor's first fight back in the Octagon ended in dominant victory as he won his first fight since 2016.
His welterweight has catapulted him back into contention for some of 2020's biggest fights.
As well as Diaz, he's also got his eyes on current BMF champ Jorge Masvidal, who was in attendance for last night's fight.

The ultimate endgame for McGregor seems to be a rematch with lightweight champion and long-time rival Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Khabib dominated McGregor at UFC 229 in October 2018 and the 31-year-old is keen on a rematch with 'The Eagle'.
A return to boxing could also be on the horizon for McGregor.

He's been rumoured to have been in contact with Manny Pacquiao over a fight as well as a second fight with Floyd Mayweather.
Following last night's fight, the latter got fight fans excited with what looked to be a fight poster with the words 'Mayweather McGregor 2 2020' along with a list of promoters.
Many fans are keen to see McGregor continue his return to MMA but a second fight with 'Money' would surely get everyone's interest.
