McGregor and Diaz met twice in 2016, and the fights were two of the biggest in UFC history. In the first clash in March, Diaz upset McGregor with a second-round submission. Five months later, McGregor edged out Diaz via majority decision.
"The Notorious" is coming off a 40-second TKO win over Donald Cerrone at UFC 246 in January. Diaz, meanwhile, fell short to Jorge Masvidal in his most recent fight last November at UFC 244.
