When asked by a reporter what his gameplan was for defeating McGregor, Nate came up with the following hilarious response:

When news broke that UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos had suffered an injury and was forced to pull out of his UFC 196 main event fight with Conor McGregor, many fighters decided to throw their name in the hat for the short-notice fight. Former WEC featherweight champion Urijah Faber was one of those fighters. Unfortunately for the “California Kid”, former UFC lightweight challenger Nate Diaz ended up being the fighter selected to ‘fill the void’ for March’s UFC pay-per-view event.

When it was announced that Nate Diaz was stepping in for an injured Rafael dos Anjos at UFC 196 on March 5th, many fans began questioning how good of shape Diaz would be in given that he took the fight on short notice. While Diaz is undoubtably coming in on short notice, he will not be coming into the fight out of shape. UFC President Dana White spoke on LA Today to discuss the situation:

At the UFC 196 press conference Wednesday afternoon things got pretty heated between Nate Diaz and Conor McGregor. As many expected, the trash talk was at an all-time high. One of the more interesting things however was that Nate Diaz said that everyone in the UFC is on steroids.

The Stockton native had a successful outing in his last performance against Michael “The Menace” Johnson, targeting Johnson with 157 strikes to earn the unanimous decision.

bjpenndotcom - February 23, 2016

Since it was revealed earlier today that Rafael dos Anjos had been forced out of his UFC 196 lightweight title fight with Conor McGregor due to a broken foot, the MMA community has been anxiously awaiting news of who Conor McGregor would fight. While Donald Cerrone, fresh off his UFC Pittsburgh win on Sunday, offered to take the fight on short notice, it appears as though the UFC will be going with another option.
