Take a deep breath everyone, we are just 15 days removed from one of the most anticipated rematches in UFC history. On August 20th at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Conor McGregor will attempt to settle the score with Nate Diaz at UFC 202 and before they step into the cage, the first order of business is to win the battle of wits.
Having taken part in an unusually restrained press conference prior to UFC 200 a month ago, Diaz and McGregor will both take part in a media conference call this evening (Friday) at 11pm Irish time in the latest verbal sparring session.
Tune in! starts in half hour, 11pm back home. expect some fireworks :) https://t.co/1XBBH2GIAr

These occasions are always fascinating insights into the mindsets of both fighters as we close in on fight night. Will McGregor re-establish the verbal warfare which he has become so synonymous with? Will Diaz hold his own against the silver-tongued Dubliner?
Whatever happens, we won't be surprised (motherfuckers).
