AUDIO: UFC 202 conference call with Nate Diaz & Conor McGregor
We’re only weeks away from one of the biggest UFC fights of the year, as Nate Diaz is set to take on Conor McGregor in the main event of UFC 202 on August 20th at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, NV.
In advance of the fight, both Diaz and McGregor will meet with media members on a conference call tonight. And there are sure to be verbal fireworks with two of the UFC’s most outspoken fighters on the call.
That call will be available to listen to live right here starting at (or approximately, given the two competitors) 6 p.m. EST.
After riding a massive wave of media hype created by his outspokenness and increasingly high profile victories, McGregor was tapped out by Diaz in their first fight earlier this year. The two were supposed to meet again in the main event of UFC 200, but McGregor was pulled from the show after refusing to fulfill promotional obligations.
McGregor will be out for revenge at UFC 202, while Diaz will be trying to prove that he was always deserving of the main event spotlight.
