TMZ Sports always run into Mr. McGregor during his Rodeo Drive shopping sprees and during this chance encounter they got the UFC featherweight champion to discuss a possible rematch with Nate Diaz.
McGregor’s quotes all say that he’s up for the match but his performance at UFC 196 says otherwise.
“I’m ready to go again,”said McGregor. “I had a great time. It was a good fight, a hell of a fight.”
“I think I’d like to see that, yea?” McGregor said of a future rematch with Diaz. “I mean, it’s one that interests me, most certainly. You know, when I look at the fight I was winning the fight. I won the first round and a half, I feel. I’d love to get that one back. We’ll see how it goes. Money talks. Life is good.”
A fight between McGregor and Diaz could be vastly different at 155lbs than it was at 170lbs. McGregor has to realise his limitations and stay within his comfort zone.
