Watch: McGregor calls out Nate Diaz on 'Conan'

Conan/YouTube

Nate Diaz was a guest on "Conan" on Tuesday, but as usual it was Conor McGregor who stole the show.

McGregor wasn't in studio, instead opting to appear via a video message directed at the man he will fight in the main event of UFC 202.

"I'm taking this contest very, very seriously," McGregor explained. "I've flown in specific body types to replicate Nate's skinny, tall frame. The boy won the lotto the last time. He knows it; I know it. Well, Aug. 20 I get my revenge and I look forward to it."

Diaz stunned McGregor in their first bout at UFC 196 in March, coming away with a second-round submission.

After the video aired, Conan asked Diaz how he responds to McGregor's claims that the result of the first fight was lucky.

"The truth came out and the truth will be Aug. 20 when it goes down again," Diaz said.
