Conor McGregor wants to take part in the UFC's Power Slap league against his bitter rival Nate Diaz.
Former two-weight UFC champion McGregor suffered his first loss in the promotion to Diaz six years ago, with the American stepping in on 11 days' notice to submit McGregor when Rafael Dos Anjos pulled out of their lightweight title fight. Six months later, McGregor avenged his loss to Diaz and the pair have been backed to fight for the third time ever since.
Diaz, 37, parted ways with the UFC earlier this year having spent 15 years competing for the organisation, damaging his chances of a trilogy fight with McGregor. That could change now that McGregor has expressed his desire to compete in the "world’s premier competitive slapping promotion" against Diaz.
