Conor McGregor vows trilogy fight with Nate Diaz once he wins at UFC 202
The rivals are ready to talk for the first time about the rematch
It took us awhile to get back here, but it's time again. Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz will finally have their rematch on Aug. 20 in Las Vegas after a long negotiation process.
The two first squared off in March after Diaz was a fill in for Rafael dos Anjos, who suffered an injury in training camp. They bickered thorugh the media for 12 days before the fight finally came to be.
McGregor looked good early on, but got rocked in the second round before Diaz was able to secure his back and lock in the guillotine choke. McGregor wanted to get his rematch with Diaz at UFC 200 this weekend, but negotiations broke down and a press tour obligation kept that from happening.
Now, McGregor, fighting two weight classes above his normal weight, will once again fight at 170 pounds, looking to exact revenge.
