Among the wellwishers was his former UFC opponents Alexander Volkanovski and Max Holloway.

Eat some açaí with cashew and powder milk for me ? @josealdojunior These three, along with Conor McGregor, are often considered in the Mount Rushmore of the UFC featherweight division. Even though McGregor is yet to give his reaction to the news, as he's busy claiming himself to be the most powerful on Twitter, the Irishman has shown much respect towards the Brazilian legend before.

There was already speculation that Nate Diaz might step inside the squared circle after his exit from the UFC, with a fight against Jake Paul looming in the distance. However, it seems like he may be stepping inside a different type of ring as well. The Stockton native was seen attending the recently concluded trilogy between Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The event was attended by some of the biggest names in the sports and entertainment industry, including newly-crowned WWE head Paul 'Triple H' Levesque and Stephanie McMahon. Diaz, dressed in his staple black, posed for a picture with 'Triple H' and Stephanie McMahon during the event.

Henry Cejudo, UFC's resident cringe-talker, also caught up with Diaz at the ADCC Submission Fighting World Championship. Speaking to Helen Yee later, 'Triple C' claimed that the younger Diaz brother was possibly "looking to dabble" in a WWE stint to make some money. He further added that Diaz will be an "easy sell" for the pro-wrestling giant because of his unique and fan-favorite personality.

Talking about the show on Twitter, 'DC' made a demand that this week's episode of the new Game of Thrones prequel should have more dragons. Daniel Cormier@dc_mmaHouse of the dragon, it’s Sunday last week, ok, but if you don’t mind more dragons tonight, please. I love this show #hbo #HouseOfTheDragonHBO73620House of the dragon, it’s Sunday last week, ok, but if you don’t mind more dragons tonight, please. I love this show #hbo #HouseOfTheDragonHBO Cormier continued: Daniel Cormier@dc_mmaOk last week, no dragons ok I can deal with but this week we need dragons lol. Wow that came off bad2352Ok last week, no dragons ok I can deal with but this week we need dragons lol. Wow that came off bad Cormier's observations and subsequent requests to some extent are mirrored by many of the GoT fans. The original show was based on George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire and a lion's share of their budget was invested in bringing alive Daenerys Targaryen's three dragons - Rhaegal, Viserion, and the mighty Drogon. Some of the best scenes from the 8 seasons feature Khaleesi unleasing Drogon's wrath on her enemies with the magic word "Dracarys". That set an expection that the prequel will also go down the same path. However, House of the Dragon has been more about the political landscape of Westeros and the interpersonal family feuds of the Targaryen family. However, it's not like viewers are completely robbed of dragons. Till this Sunday's episode, fans have seen Princess Rhaenyra's Syrax, Daemon Targaryen's Caraxes, and Ser Laenor Velaryon's Seasmoke flying on screen. Not to mention, Aegon the Conqueror's favorite Balerion, the Black Dread's skull in the crypt remains a steady constant from the original show.
