The Sunday World says the 29 year old is close to signing a deal to fight Nate Diaz in December.

The bout, which would be the pair's third, will take place in Las Vegas on December 30th.

Conor hasn't fought in the UFC since November 2016.

Last month, he stepped into the ring with Floyd Mayweather for his first professional boxing fight.
