Report: Nate Diaz-Conor McGregor Rematch Targeted for UFC 200 Headliner

Conor McGregor will apparently get his chance at redemption.

According to a report from MMAFighting.com, Nate Diaz will square off with McGregor at 170 pounds for a second time in the UFC 200 main event on July 9. The bout is not official but is expected to be announced soon.

Diaz defeated McGregor via rear-naked choke 4:12 into the second round at UFC 196 on March 5 in Las Vegas. McGregor was initially supposed to challenge Rafael dos Anjos for the lightweight title in the UFC 196 headliner, but Diaz stepped in on short notice when the Brazilian champion broke his foot in training.
