But before that all happened, Diaz talked about the fight with McGregor and his preparation heading into the rematch. Diaz was asked about McGregor’s prediction of a second round knockout and responded in typical Diaz fashion:

But he remembers what happened in the last fight, and I think it’s a little silly. He’s got pictures of me in his garage with me punching him in the face. What the (expletive)? Who does that?
