Nate Diaz is already looking jacked a couple of months prior to his rematch against Conor McGregor, who is thirsty to redeem himself following his first defeat handed to him by Diaz back in UFC 196.
The Irishman has been prepping for his rematch with Diaz, but his opponent has been doing the same. The results of his hard work definitely show in a photo of him below with his training camp.
While his photo may or may not strike fear on McGregor fans or even the Irishman himself, Lowkick MMA believes that McGregor will look the smaller fighter in the match, which wasn't the case when he first tackled Diaz.
McGregor has been training hard as well, bringing in elite trainers and grapplers on his training camp to further prepare for the highly anticipated bout. He also gives himself time to unwind.
Diaz and McGregor were supposed to meet in the Octagon for the second time next month, but the fight was ultimately moved to August.
In between, there were reports that McGregor will fight undefeated boxing superstar Floyd Mayweather Jr.
In related news, McGregor's training partner Gunnar Nelson says that the Irish superstar should move up from the featherweight division to the lightweight division.
"I think 155 would be a good idea to start with. I know he doesn't like that big cut and probably nobody does," Nelson told Starsport, via Daily Star.
"So I think going up to lightweight to start with and challenge for that belt. Then we can see what he wants to do from there," he continued.
Before thinking about moving divisions, McGregor, who has been "obsessed" with a rematch against Diaz, should focus on beating the first guy that tainted his otherwise-impeccable record.
The McGregor vs. Diaz rematch takes place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on Aug. 20.
