Are you getting confused as to which piece of news to dive into among the plethora of developments that took place in the last 24 hours? Well, we have just the right thing for you – another edition of the daily roundup. Let’s start this edition with the news of Conor McGregor, who won a whopping $1.6 million from the Nate Diaz vs Jorge Masvidal fight. ‘The Notorious’, however, did not fail to share a little message after his million-dollar win.

Moving on from that news piece, we have Nate Diaz, who received a surprising callout from former UFC middleweight and welterweight fighter Darren Till. Finally, we will sum this news compilation up with former UFC star Joanna Jedrzejczyk, who made a suggestion about a new women’s championship belt to Dana White.

A message from Conor McGregor to Nate Diaz after his first pro boxing match win

The term ‘redemption’ can be used to appropriately describe Nate Diaz’s win over Jorge Masvidal in their boxing match. A triumphant outing with a majority decision win may have helped increase the Stockton native’s fan base in the boxing community. Meanwhile, it was an even bigger win for Conor McGregor, who turned his $500,000 into $1,625,000 after making a gamble on his former rival. Hours after he earned those winnings, the Irishman took to Instagram to share a small message to Diaz.

“THE RICH GET RICHER! Nice! Congrats Nate and Thanks,” wrote Conor McGregor via his Instagram Stories. Meanwhile, when a reporter made Nate Diaz aware of his win making ‘The Notorious’ a boatload of money, he simply smiled and said, “That’s cool.” Apart from this banter, can we have them fight again is the real question? Well, to know that, we will simply have to wait for what happens in the future. Meanwhile, let’s take a look at another UFC star who called out Nate Diaz.

Darren Till calls out Diaz

Darren Till recently traveled to Dubai for his first boxing match, an exhibition one, against Mohammad Mutie. The British fighter knocked out his opponent in the second round, but what followed was pure chaos. Till and Mutie got into an unfortunate brawl, which was later broken up by the security and the officials who were in the ring along with the duo. However, that’s not the big news here because ‘The Gorilla’ proposed a boxing match against Nate Diaz in his next fight.

“Just thinking…Need a real boxing fight,” wrote Darren Till in an Instagram post with a poster of him and Nate Diaz. Meanwhile, the Stockton native recently called out former opponent Jake Paul, and chances are, he could fight Jorge Masvidal for a third time as well. It remains to be seen if Till gets his wish to fight Diaz, whom he never had the chance to fight when they were both competing under the UFC banner.

Meanwhile, alongside the men’s division, there can be some changes in the UFC Women as per the new suggestions proposed by a former MMA star.

Dana White asked to introduce a BMF title for women

The UFC is home to not only the top male MMA fighters but female MMA fighters as well. So far, Dana White has only introduced a BMF title for the men’s division, and there’s no belt for the female yet. Meanwhile, Joanna Jedrzejczyk, who had recently retired from active competition, revealed that she’s willing to come out of retirement for one specific reason. But what could that be? Well, she’s urging the UFC CEO to create a BMF title for the women to compete, something that she had talked about in the past with UFC’s Hunter Campbell.

“I was like, ‘So, Hunter what do you think about me fighting for the female BMF belt,’ and he was like, ‘No, you don’t need more titles.’ … If they create the BMF for women, I want to be the first. I would come out of my retirement to fight for the BMF belt. Let’s go,” Joanna Jedrzejczyk said during a recent interview with Cageside Press.

So far, we haven’t heard Dana White mention anything about a BMF belt for women. But will he oblige the former star’s request? Drop your views in the comments below.
