CONOR MCGREGOR HAS suggested he would be keen to step back into the Octagon with Nate Diaz.
The UFC featherweight champion lost out to a second-round submission in Las Vegas on 5 March after attempting to jump two up two weight divisions.
All the indications are that the 27-year-old will go back down to 145lbs to face either Jose Aldo or Frankie Edgar at UFC 200, but McGregor is also open to a rematch with Stockton brawler Diaz.
Speaking to TMZ Sports, The Notorious explained that he is feeling “fresh and ready to go again”, before being asked about having Justin Bieber as a fan.
On the prospect of meeting Diaz a second time, he said: “I think I’d like to see that. It’s one that interests me, most certainly. I’d love to get that one back, we’ll see how it goes. We’re in talks.”
Meanwhile, Dana White has taken to Twitter to deny speculation that McGregor has turned down a Diaz rematch.
