Conor McGregor is currently in the middle of his training camp for UFC 202 and his rematch with Nate Diaz in the night’s main event. McGregor was undefeated in the UFC prior to fighting Diaz, including a first round knockout of Jose Aldo to win the undisputed featherweight championship of the world.

McGregor was originally scheduled to fight lightweight champion Rafael Dos Anjos, but after he withdrew from injury, McGregor opted to take a fight at welterweight with former Ultimate Fighter winner Nate Diaz. Most fans and media still believed McGregor would beat Diaz, but the Stockton fighter shocked the MMA world submitting McGregor in the second round.

Now at UFC 202, the two will rematch and McGregor has said he is putting in the best camp of his life in Las Vegas and is prepared to avenge the loss. In this own documentary series, called ‘The Mac Life’, McGregor recently showed off some his hard sparring in front of cameras taping for the UFC:
