A lot of questions surround Nate Diaz and Conor McGregor‘s UFC 202 rematch. Their first fight at UFC 196 ended when Diaz locked in a rear naked choke in the second round, forcing the tap from the Irishman who looked lost on the ground. It was certainly a thrilling affair and, although Nate Diaz proclaimed he was ‘not surprised’ by the win, the fact he took the bout on just 11 days and won so convincingly was a shock to many.

Obviously the Stockton bad boy was a little softer around the midriff than we saw in his decision win over Michael Johnson, but he has since admitted he was ‘drinking tequila and eating tacos’ when he got the call to fight on March 5.

One massive lesson we learned from Diaz’s impressive win over Johnson is that when he’s both in shape and motivated, there are very few men who can touch him. So the question of how much effort Diaz puts in to his UFC 202 camp and the subsequent shape he’s in proves quite an intriguing debate. Once again fighting at welterweight, neither man has to worry about massively draining weight cuts, although McGregor’s cardio issues in the first fight certainly need addressing.

Taking a look through social media today shed light on the topic of both men’s training camp, and both Diaz brothers are in noticeably fantastic shape. Although physique isn’t everything, it’s plain to see that both Nick and Nate have really been putting in the rounds with Jake Shields and Gilbert Melendez.
