One of Floyd Mayweather's TMT members tells TMZ Sports ... he's courting Nate Diaz to walk out with Floyd for the Conor McGregor fight -- and says there's a REAL chance it will happen.
Mayweather faces McGregor on August 26th at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas - where McGregor defeated Diaz by decision last August. Diaz won the first bout last March by submission in round two.
The man with the plan to get Diaz is "Love & Hip Hop" star, Jason Lee -- who's so close with Floyd, he was part of the boxer's entourage during the McGregor news conference in London.
Lee also happens to be from Stockton, CA -- home of Nate Diaz -- and says he's making a serious run to get Nate to be a special TMT VIP for the fight ... to essentially troll Conor.
We also asked Lee if Justin Bieber would be in Floyd's corner for the fight -- since he has been in the past -- but it sounds like JB is taking some time away from TMT to focus on Jesus.
