The North American press already takes for granted the rematch between Conor McGregor e Nate diaz in the welterweight division for UFC 200 in July. However, without confirming whether the confrontation will actually be against the Irishman's tormentor, McGregor's coach, John Kavanagh, said that the announcement will take place in the next few days.

“I believe it will be announced this week,” Kavanagh told the Daily Star newspaper. “And whoever the opponent is, there will always be a group of fans who will say “But I didn’t want to see this, I wanted to see that”. No matter who we choose, there will be happy and sad people”, he added.
