Sorry, Floyd: McGregor vs. Diaz 2 set for UFC 202

Seems like Floyd Mayweather's goal to fight UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor is in shambles as the Irish MMA superstar is officially booked to face Nate Diaz in a rematch at UFC 202 on August 20.

McGregor, who is locked in a contact with the UFC, meanwhile, will get the chance to avenge his first defeat inside the world's premier MMA organization when he faces Diaz for the second time.

McGregor and Diaz first met in March when the latter agreed to fight McGregor on a late notice. An underdog in the said matchup, Diaz shocked the world by choking out McGregor in round two.

They were originally slated to headline UFC 200, but a dispute between McGregor and the UFC had forced the organization to take them off the card.

Mayweather, 39, has constantly teased about fighting McGregor in a boxing match for weeks. In his latest stunt on social media, Mayweather posted a Mayweather vs. McGregor fight poster seemingly promoting the prospective showdown.

While the unbeaten American remained optimistic that a fight between him and McGregor would take place, specifics such as the date and venue for the fight were never set on stone. —JM Siasat/JST, GMA News
