If Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz are to have a rubber match, the “Notorious” one would like to dictate the terms of that bout.
McGregor avenged a March defeat to Diaz in the UFC 202 headliner on Saturday night, taking a hard-fought majority decision over his rival in a “Fight of the Year” candidate. While a trilogy seems almost inevitable, McGregor doesn’t plan on facing Diaz at 170 pounds again.
“I want to go back down. I’m the 145-pound champion. The 155-pound [title] is there. When I fight Nate again it will be 155 pounds,” McGregor told media after the fight.
