Fans of Conor McGregor will be happy to know that his next fight has been confirmed.
And it’s up against Nate Diaz.
The two first fought back in March for UFC 196 when Diaz put an end to Conor’s winning streak. They were due to meet at UFC 200 but that fell through and even resulted in Conor sensationally saying that he had retired.
Plans for a rematch were thought to have stalled but not any more with the announcement that they’re back for a welterweight rematch in UFC 202 on August 20th in Las Vegas.
Get those flights booked!

There were rumours that Conor would take on Floyd Mayweather but that seems unlikely for now with this latest match confirmed. It still could happen in the future and if so it would be one of the most lucrative boxing matches in history.
First though we’ll be cheering Conor on in UFC 202.
