Nate Diaz in action against Conor McGregor. Raymond Spencer/INPHO

Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz set for a mouth-watering rematch at UFC 200 - reports

Ariel Helwani says the deal is almost done.

THE UFC ARE close to confirming their main event for the much-anticipated UFC 200 show.

Conor McGregor will have his shot at redemption against Nate Diaz on 9 July in Las Vegas, according to Ariel Helwani.

The Dubliner was, of course, shocked by the Diaz in the second round of their fight earlier this month.

Diaz took the fight just 11 days out from the event after Rafael dos Anjos withdrew because of a foot injury.

MMA Fighting suggest the rematch will be confirmed soon by UFC chiefs.

    @Joe Bloggs: He wasn’t average. Pablo Larrazabal was average, Damien McGrane was average. Poulter won as many tournaments as anyone over the last 10-15 years, and contended in majors. Flash tw*t though.

    Well he’s finally been proven right. He really is at Tiger’s level now.

    I’d have more sympathy for him if he was as modest as luke Donald or Paul Casey! Himself and Lee Westwood have a certain arrogance!
