On social media, McGregor once again recalled his defeat to the American and promised to take revenge on his rival when they finally meet again in the octagon.

“(In the photo) Working on the uppercut using the back hand with Roddy, before UFC 196. A move that I called before the fight. Who else calls a blow like the uppercut using the back hand on a six-foot giant and still hits this wonder repeatedly right in the nose? Somebody? I don't think so... Mark my damn words, I'm going to play with him in the rematch. Believe it!” wrote the Irishman.

Conor McGregor has a professional record of 19 wins and three losses. After refusing to attend a series of UFC 200 promotional events, the Irishman was cut from the event and missed his rematch against Nate diaz. Now, the trend is for McGregor to return to featherweight and defend his title against the winner of the interim title fight between José Aldo e Frankie Edgar.
