It may not be taking place at #UFC200 but given Conor McGregor’s latest tweets he is pretty clear as to who he will be fighting next.
McGregor initially responded to a tweet from well known MMA personality @FrontRowBrian in which Diaz is seen standing alongside his brother Nick and martial arts legend Jean-Claude Van Damme;
I love it! Adapt and overcome.
I am coming in light and lean for my rematch and I will school this boy to the bell. https://t.co/MjEwxokIYK— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) May 2, 2016
Off the back of that tweet there was a lot of responses from people questioning just how McGregor would fair in the rematch and McGregor has responded directly to some of those also;
On the floor he was swept and controlled.
When the tank goes, no amount of skill can save you.
You will see. https://t.co/vJP4k4qzwX— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) May 2, 2016
He has made more excuses for the first 8 minutes of our fight than I have made for the last 2 minutes of our fight. https://t.co/pukpqnF1YJ

With no rematch yet confirmed it is still unknown if these two will compete again but you can certainly get a sense from McGregor that the loss hit home and he would not be approaching a rematch in the same way he did in the first bout.
