UFC 202 'Bad Blood' video preview: Conor McGregor slices through southpaw training partners

 

We
are just one week away from the biggest rematch in Ultimate Fighting
Championship (UFC) history, as Conor McGregor meets Nate Diaz at UFC 202
on Aug. 20 live on pay-per-view (PPV) from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas,
Nevada. After losing to Diaz at UFC 196, McGregor is attempting to
right his only Octagon wrong.

As always, UFC is doing a ton of
promotion leading up to one of 2016\’s most important main event tilts.
After all, McGregor is the undisputed PPV king and Diaz has never been
more popular among casual fight fans than he is today. In effort to shed
light on their impending rematch, the promotion is releasing a UFC 202
edition of “Bad Blood,” which is set to air Sunday (Aug. 14, 2016) at
10:00 p.m. ET on FOX Sports 1.

UFC released another preview of
“Bad Blood” earlier today (Aug. 13, 2016), showcasing McGregor sparring
with numerous southpaw training partners (shown above). The footage is
especially important considering McGregor did little training for Diaz
leading up to UFC 196 this past march. McGregor hopes a dedicated camp
drawn up specifically for a lengthy southpaw will aid his bid for
ultimate redemption.

Only time will tell if McGregor has enough in the tank to outlast one of the game\’s most durable competitors.
