The UFC have begun ramping up publicity for the highly anticipated rematch between Nate Diaz and Conor McGregor by releasing the official trailer, UFC 202: Diaz vs McGregor 2 - I Know You.
Both men collided at UFC 196, which was originally supposed to host a champion vs. champion superfight between McGregor and Rafael dos Anjos. Dos Anjos, the former lightweight champion, was forced to pull out of the bout with a broken foot and Diaz stepped in as a late replacement.
The bout was contested at welterweight, which saw 'The Notorious' enter uncharted territory and undertake one of the biggest risks of his career. Diaz, who is listed as the No. 4 ranked lightweight in the world, has competed at welterweight in the past but had mixed success in the division. The Cesar Gracie Jiu Jitsu product was manhandled by Rory MacDonald and lost to Dong Hyun Kim in 2011. At UFC 196, however, Diaz seemed to find his groove.
McGregor started off strong, beating Diaz to the punch in most of the exchanges and bloodying his opponent's face. In round two, however, there was a notable shift in momentum. Diaz found a home for his snappy 1-2 combinations and McGregor seemed to fade. After Diaz began to land repeatedly, McGregor - in desperation mode - attempted to take the fight to the ground but was swiftly reversed and submitted. And just like that, McGregor's 15-fight win streak came to an end and Diaz became an overnight superstar.
UFC 202, which features Diaz vs. McGregor II in the main event, will take place on August 20 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
