Conor McGregor will face off against Nate Diaz at 170 pounds in July for UFC 200.
The UFC featherweight champion maintains it's a decision to get some revenge after his second-round submission, but Joe Schilling, training partner of Nick and Nate Diaz, spoke with with The MMA Underground's Jonathan Shrager has other thoughts, via BroBible:
"If we're going to talk about weight-gains and why he would want to stay at that weight class I don't think it's going to be that different when Nate talks about how you're on steroids," he said.
"Now, you can't get back down to that weight class, you're stuck at that weight division because you got on steroids, but we'll wait for Nate to say that, not me."
The steroid accusation isn't the first one from the Diaz camp, as coach Richard Perez said much of the same.
As for how the fight will play out, Shrager sees the fight playing out almost identically the way it did the first time.
"I think the skillset that Nate has is far superior to Conor's and Nate having a full training camp is just way different. I think if you're in there with someone you look up to, and you're intimidated by, and you're scared of, and talking all this sh-t about, your adrenaline is going to get (expletive) really bad and you're going to try and knock him out in the first round," he reasoned.
"And, you're going to lose like it did the last time."
If Diaz beats McGregor a second time — after both trained on a full camp and prepared for each other — it would be difficult to imagine the UFC passing up a title shot for the loud-talking Diaz.
