Conor McGregor can get another crack at the man who handed him his first UFC loss as a rematch against Nate Diaz is reportedly on its way.

As per MMA Fighting, the two will once again face each other in the welterweight division this time as the main event for UFC 200.

Diaz gave McGregor his first UFC setback, locking the UFC featherweight champion in a rear naked choke in the second round earlier in the month.
