UFC’s ominous new promo for Diaz vs. McGregor is spine-tinglingly good

UFC 202 is almost here.

There’s not an MMA fan on the planet who will be happy to give this event a skip.

Certain cards pass even the most hardcore of fight fans by, but UFC 202 will not be one.

If you had forgotten about the bad blood between Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz, or if you weren’t interested in seeing a repeat of the main event of UFC 196 so soon after March, the promotion is doing everything in its power to draw you in.

On the broadcast of UFC 201 on Saturday night, a promo aired for the August 20 event, sure to send shivers up the spine and blood pumping through any fight fan.

Nate Diaz’s shock victory over Conor McGregor at UFC 196 sent shockwaves throughout the MMA world.

Since his loss, McGregor has retired, unretired,  missed the original UFC 200 rematch and floated the idea of taking on Floyd Mayweather in a boxing match.

But this is it, the main event. The match up where McGregor will love to avenge his loss and reclaim his status as one of UFC’s biggest stars.

With The Notorious promising to be a more dangerous, more clinical fighter, and Nate Diaz promising to be more of his usual trash talking self, it’s looking likely their UFC 202 rematch up will be one of the biggest in UFC history.

August 20th can’t come soon enough. We can’t wait.
