Nate Diaz Is Sure Conor McGregor Wants A Rematch
Nate Diaz did what many deemed the unthinkable when he brutally submitted the previously untouchable Conor McGregor in the main of last weekend’s (Sat., March 5, 2016) UFC 196 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
And the ramifications of his biggest ever win are still resonating through the mixed martial arts (MMA) community, as it was thought only mere days ago that McGregor would defeat Diaz and move forward to an absolutely monstrous welterweight title shot at UFC 200 this summer.
But when Diaz put a wrench in those gears with a pinpoint combo and a picture-perfect choke in the second round, the UFC’s plans for McGregor went up in smoke with his plans to become a three-division champion. Diaz is now at the height of his own scope and popularity after several years in the UFC, and he should be moving on to his own bigger and better fights.
Just don’t count a rematch with McGregor as one of them, as the outspoken Diaz recently told TMZ Sports that even though ‘The Notorious’ might want a chance to avenge the loss, Diaz won’t automatically grant him one:
“Mission accomplished. I’m sure he does want a rematch. I’ve wanted a lot of rematches, too. Time will tell; we’ll see how things play out.”
Diaz also had some choice words for the unexpected smack from Justin Bieber. Check out the interview right here:
