But in the mean time, feel free to catch the epic first encounter between the UFC 202 main event fighters.
Diaz won that contest, surviving the early onslaught by McGregor to lock up a rear-naked choke in the second round. They meet again later this month from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Even a dull MMA match can be much more enthralling than daintier sports. But when MMA is at its most exciting, it’s a uniquely breathtaking display.
Being successful is admirable — Georges St-Pierre is idolized for his consistent ability to muscle his way to victory. Love is also deserved, however, for the fighters who are less hinged to victory and more intent on taking risks and putting on a show.
Herein is an unranked list of current UFC fighters who evoke the most cheers and animalistic jolts among fans. Let’s celebrate these warriors while they’re still able-bodied and willing to sacrifice their well-being for our amusement.

It’s crazy to think that UFC 202 is just over two weeks away now. Five months ago the first chapter of Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz’s rivalry was concluded at UFC 196. The two infamous trash talkers shared a pre-fight rivalry just 11 days long, but it bore the fruits of an all-time classic scrap. Eventful press conferences and confrontations between Diaz and McGregor amplified the tension before their March 5 showdown, and the fight itself delivered in a flurry of blood and excitement.
When fists finally flew in the octagon, an unexpected hero emerged. The Stockton bad boy Diaz, after years of putting in work, put the screws to the UFC’s most popular star. After absorbing some serious power from McGregor early on, the Californian grappler was able to take control of the fight on the ground. Trapped in rear naked choke, ‘The Notorious’ had no choice but to tap out. As we approach the August 20 rematch, the flames of their rivalry are once again being stoked.
It’s time to take a look a how training is going for both these entertaining UFC stars. Oddly enough McGregor is actually looking smaller than he was for the first fight. Remember back to when the Irishman was preparing for his original UFC 196 opponent Rafael dos Anjos at lightweight, he was literally HUGE. Both men undoubtedly are looking in tremendous shape right now, with Diaz noticeably bigger but McGregor looking well conditioned.
Is this indicative of ‘The Notorious’ planning for a five round war? He stated after their first fight that he ‘had not used his energy efficiently,’ a very ill fated mistake to make against a cardio machine like Diaz.
Here’s the latest on McGregor an Diaz’s training and physique ahead of UFC 202.

In what is likely the 13th and final fight for UFC 202, Randa Markos will take on Cortney Casey at strawweight.
Markos (6-3) has split her four UFC appearances, with her most recent being a decision over Jocelyn Jones-Lybarger. The Canadian is still looking for her first win streak after alternating wins and losses.

There was no Conor McGregor crashing this time around for Nate Diaz.
A few weeks out from his rematch with McGregor at UFC 202, Diaz appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” Tuesday night as part of a segment entitled “What’s Up?”
Diaz was on the streets with the camera crew as they interviewed people and asked for their thoughts on the rematch. After hearing who they picked and how, Diaz stormed out and confronted the people being interviewed.
Coming off of his dominant five round victory over Frankie Edgar for the interim 145-pound title at UFC 200, former UFC featherweight king Jose Aldo is ready for his shot at vengeance against the man who took away his decade of dominance in a mere 13-seconds, Conor McGregor.

Coming off of his dominant five round victory over Frankie Edgar for the interim 145-pound title at UFC 200, former UFC featherweight king Jose Aldo is ready for his shot at vengeance against the man who took away his decade of dominance in a mere 13-seconds, Conor McGregor.
Since winning the title, however, McGregor has been embroiled in a welterweight rivalry with Stockton Native Nate Diaz who handed the brash Irishman his first career UFC loss at UFC 196. McGregor succumbed to Diaz’s superior ground game after tapping to a rear-naked choke, following being rocked by Diaz after a 1-2 combo landed flush on McGregor’s chin.
McGregor has been obsessed with avenging the loss to Diaz, and will now rematch his counterpart in the main event of UFC 202 in Las Vegas. The featherweight division has been subsequently put on hold while McGregor handles his business at 170-pounds, forcing the implication of the interim featherweight strap that rests around Aldo’s waist.
While many mixed martial arts (MMA) fans have sceptisized weather or not McGregor will ever return to the featherweight division, given the fact that the weight cut is a strenuous one for the Irish champ, Aldo claims that UFC President Dana White has assured him McGregor’s next bout will be contested at the 145-pound weight class.
During a recent media scrum in Brazil, courtesy of The Daily Star UK, Aldo had this to say:
“Dana said his next fight has to be at featherweight, so I’m hopeful. I’m thinking about that and hope that is the case. But if it’s not, I have no problem. I want to be champion. Whoever they put in there, I will win.”
McGregor and Aldo originally met in the main event of UFC 194, after their first scheduled bout at UFC 189 fell through, after nearly a year of heavy promotion for the most anticipated featherweight contest in UFC history.
With a quick swipe of a counter-left hook, ‘Notorious’ solidified himself as the man in the featherweight division by shutting the Brazilian’s lights out for the first time in his historic career.
Aldo would go back to the drawing board and return against Frankie Edgar for the interim title at UFC 200, and looked to be in phenomenal condition throughout his five round dismantling of the former 155-pound champion.
Pending the result of McGregor vs Diaz II later this month, one can’t help but ponder the possibility of the two hated rivals meeting once again in the main event of UFC 205 from Madison Square Garden.
Both men seem to have something to prove as many regard McGregor’s sudden knockout of Aldo as a simply the luck of the Irish, and Aldo needs to get over the hump of having lost to the man he holds so much spite for.
