It's taken awhile, but things have been confirmed.
Conor McGregor has been booked into UFC 202 which will take place in Las Vegas on August 20th. And it will be a Nate Diaz rematch. The news was announced to the crowd in California for UFC 199.
McGregor-Diaz 2 officially announced for Aug. 20, UFC 202.

It always seemed likely that McGregor Diaz would happen again - McGregor wanted it, the UFC bank balance wanted it, Diaz didn't want to fight anyone else.
The announcement comes after rumours during the week that a rematch was unlikely because Nate Diaz wasn't getting enough money.
They've all got their wish, and UFC fans will be happy.
It's the first fight and confirmed date and venue for UFC 202, after the UFC have already confirmed headliners for UFC 203, and the venue for 205.
It's on!!! Nate Diaz vs. Conor McGregor 2 at #UFC202 https://t.co/jKp3CJrj5x
