Morning Report: Rafael dos Anjos calls Conor McGregor a 'coward' for not defending his featherweight title

Not everyone is thrilled to see an immediate rematch between Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz.

The UFC featherweight champion will once again face Diaz at 170 pounds, this time headlining UFC 200 July 9 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Diaz scored a second-round submission in the pair's first bout March 5 at UFC 196, tapping McGregor with a rear-naked choke. McGregor has claimed he was getting the better of Diaz up until the finish, battering Diaz with his left hand.

With McGregor busy with Diaz, the UFC interim featherweight title will be up for grabs the same night.
