The stars of Tri-star gym Montreal can't come to an agreement over UFC 202's main event.
Fight Night is almost upon us and soon we will find out if Conor McGregor can conquer his UFC 196 demons and score one back on the first man to defeat him inside the UFC's Octagon.
Diaz was a heavy underdog for their first fight, but he showcased that incomparable Stockton grit to take McGregor's hardest haymakers and outland the Notorious over the duration of the bout. The Stockton native eventually rocked McGregor and forced the tap with a rear-naked choke to solidify his position as the promotion's next big superstar.
However, this time around, there is no underdog or favourite. The odds across the board are mostly even making the rematch essentially a pick 'em. A testament to the oddsmakers' ability to pick fair lines is the fact that two of the greatest minds in MMA, Georges St-Pierre and Firas Zahabi, are split over who they think will be victorious.
GSP believes McGregor will win, but only if he "prepares for the worst night of his life". Zahabi is going with the same guy he picked last time around, Diaz.
The pair have decided to place a friendly wager on the bet, with the loser having to complete 250 push-ups, which has us wondering, what happens if t ends in a draw?
