Conor McGregor found what he was looking for with his redemption win over Nate Diaz at UFC 202. McGregor was able to pick up a majority decision victory after five rounds of mixed martial arts fighting in the Octagon on August 20 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Following UFC 202, undefeated boxing legend Floyd Mayweather put an end to all the talks of the heavily rumored boxing match with McGregor.

UFC featherweight champion is reportedly healthy and willing to fight at November’s highly anticipated UFC 205 fight card in New York. According to ESPN’s Brett Okamoto, the brash Irish star is “fine” and his apparent leg injury would not hinder him from competing at UFC 205:

UFC 205, which will go down inside Madison Square Garden on November 12, is still without an official main event. Last night, that appeared to be changing, as a series of Tweets from UFC lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez seemed to confirm that his long rumored scrap with featherweight title holder Conor McGregor would headline the card. First, the lightweight champ implored McGregor to enjoy his superstardom while it lasted.

The world is all waiting for the return of UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor, even with the Irishman having just fought in August and getting revenge on Nate Diaz at UFC 202. While many were thinking that “The Notorious” would be fighting Eddie Alvarez for the lightweight title in New York at UFC 205, Dana White released some information on Twitter late Tuesday.

Last month, UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor made headlines by bashing nearly every member of the WWE roster in one fell swoop. “For the most part, those WWE guys are p*ssies, to be honest,” McGregor said in a conference call in the buildup to UFC 202. “They’re messed up p*ssies, if you ask me. Fair play to Brock [Lesnar], he got in and fought, but at the end of the day he was juiced up to the f*cking eye balls, so how can I respect that? And then what’s the other guy? The other guy [CM Punk] hasn’t fought yet, so I don’t know about him yet.”

Nate Diaz may be 1-1 with Conor McGregor, but it’s safe to say he took some serious punishment in both fights. During their UFC 202 headlining bout alone, McGregor planted Diaz on his back three separate times with his infamous left hook. However, Diaz says it was all apart of his plan to get Conor to the ground and grapple with him. Brendan Schaub discussed meeting Diaz at a supermarket shortly after UFC 202 on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, and Schaub claims Diaz told him he hit the deck on purpose because he knew he couldn’t take McGregor down:

In March of this year, Conor McGregor was submitted by the long-unheralded Nate Diaz in one of the year’s biggest upsets. Given that McGregor has long stood out as one of the UFC’s biggest stars, the organization quickly began assembling a Diaz-McGregor rematch with the hopes of giving their Irish cash cow a shot at redemption.

Earlier this month, news broke that UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor would be starring in the upcoming video game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. This news marked the latest example of the Irishman’s ever-growing superstardom and undeniable business savvy. Today, McGregor took to Twitter to offer up a first look at his character in the video game, and we have to say it looks pretty awesome. You can see that image below.

Earlier this year, UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor sparked a massive feud between himself and nearly the entire WWE roster when he stated that all WWE stars are “p**sys” after former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar failed a pair of drug tests relating to his UFC 200 bout with Mark Hunt. Many members of the WWE roster were quick to fire back at McGregor through social media, with some even claiming that members of the WWE roster could actually beat McGregor in a real fight.

After Conor McGregor won the UFC featherweight championship by defeating Jose Aldo back in the main event of UFC 194, it didn’t take long for the newly crowned featherweight champ to sign the contract for his next fight. The fight was slated to be a lightweight title fight against Rafael dos Anjos in the main event of UFC 196 on March 5th. Unfortunately, dos Anjos was forced out of the fight with a broken foot just two weeks before the fight. Ultimately the UFC selected Nate Diaz as a fill-in opponent for McGregor, and moved the fight to 170 pounds.

UFC 205, which is scheduled for November 12 in New York City’s Madison Square Garden, is quickly coming together. Earlier this week, it was announced that a lightweight bout between Al Iaquinta and Thiago Alves had been tacked onto the bill. Days later, we learned that Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone and Robbie Lawler would also be fighting on the card. Rumors also suggest that Chris Weidman will be fighting at the garden, while his teammate Aljamain Sterling is also eager to earn a spot on the card. Yet none of the aforementioned fights, whether they’ve been made official or not, are big enough to serve as UFC 205’s main event. The card, after all, marks the culmination of an arduous battle to legalize MMA in the state of New York. It’s a celebration. As such, it’s main event will need to be huge.

“Everybody’s on steroids.” Those were the accusatory words infamously uttered by Nate Diaz in the buildup to his UFC 196 submission win over Conor McGregor.

Tom Taylor - September 6, 2016

In the main event of UFC 196, Nate Diaz dropped jaws by slapping a rear-naked choke onto the seemingly unbeatable Conor McGregor. Several months later, in the main event of UFC 202, McGregor got his vengeance, earning a hard-fought majority decision over his American rival. The result of that second fight, however, was much less decisive than the first. Though McGregor came out on top, he was given all he could handle by Diaz, and very nearly lost his second straight to the same man. In fact, had Diaz performed just fractionally better on fight night, he might well have walked away with the win.
