During the last few months, the combat sports world has been taken over by rumors about a possible superfight between the UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor and former boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. Speculation, however, lost strength after the announcement of the rematch between the Irishman and Nate diaz for UFC 202 in August. However, depending on McGregor's coach, John Kavanagh, this should not have happened, as, according to him, the duel between Conor and Floyd will still take place.

“I think this fight will happen eventually, but it's on hold right now. I would be quite surprised if it didn't happen at some point in the future. I think it's the greatest fight you can have. I think people are intrigued about this fight, I could be 100% wrong. But right now, we are focused on August 20th. We have an important rematch, an MMA fight, but when this fight (against Mayweather) is announced, it won't be a surprise for me and I think it will be a very interesting duel. Who knows? We can shock the world. The great Ali said: 'Nothing is impossible'”, said Kavanagh, to the “MMA Underground” website.
McGregor's commitment to Nate diaz, once again in a fight valid for the welterweight category (up to 77 kg), is scheduled for August 20th, at the “T-Mobile Arena”, in Las Vegas (USA). The confrontation between the Irishman and the North American will be the main fight of UFC 202. According to rumors in the United States press, the debut of the UFC star pro wrestling ( telecatch, in Brazil) CM Punk could also happen on the same night.
