Conor McGregor is scheduled to fight Nate Diaz in a rematch of their first thrilling bout at welterweight in just week’s time at UFC 202.
McGregor lifted the featherweight strap from Aldo last December via shocking 13-second first round knockout. One step-back left hand was all in a day’s work for McGregor, who scored the shocking upset and shot straight to super stardom.
