UFC 202: Diaz v McGregor 2, which will also be available on the new-look BT Sport app, is set to be one of the most explosive UFC main events in recent memory.

For McGregor, it represents an immediate shot at redemption after Diaz inflicted a first-ever UFC defeat on the Irishman at UFC 196.

The featherweight champion had taken the controversial decision to step up two weight classes for a historic cross-division title bout with then-lightweight king Rafael dos Anjos.

When the Brazilian was forced to pull out with a broken foot, Diaz stepped in on eight days’ notice and promptly stunned the MMA world by grabbing a second-round submission win.

The rematch is also set to take place at 170lbs but McGregor has insisted that will have no bearing on his ability to avenge the loss at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

"I don't feel the size was the reason," he said in an exclusive interview with BT Sport that you can watch in full above.

"I can't say move down a weight, I'll get you there. What kind of fighter is that? What kind of man would I be if I was to say that?

"He's gotten even bigger than the last fight so I'm facing an even bigger man. But you know what? I'm excited about that. I've put in the correct preparation for that.

“I've sparred middleweights, fresh middleweights. The first fight was at 170 and my heart wouldn't let me have it any other way."

McGregor also opened up on his friendship with Cristiano Ronaldo, who joined the Irishman on holiday earlier this summer after guiding Portugal to Euro 2016 glory.

"He's a good friend of mine, I've been talking to him for a long time," he said. "He messaged me on Instagram a while back because I was wearing his (CR7) underwear during the weigh-in for the (Diego) Brandao fight.

"But he's a nice guy, he's in some shape. He went more abs, I went more lats. I'd slap the head off him but he's a very nice guy and he was in tremendous shape, he's a true athlete."

Before Diaz and McGregor resume hostilities, the light heavyweight clash between Anthony ‘Rumble’ Johnson and Glover Teixeira will take centre stage.

The duo were meant to lock horns at UFC Chicago last month, only for Johnson to pull out citing personal reasons.

However, the division’s #1 and #2 contenders are now set to collide at UFC 202, with the winner presumably in line for a shot at champion Daniel Cormier.

The main card is completed by Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone facing Rick Story, Hyun Gyu Lim tackling Mike Perry and Tim Means battling Sabah Homasi.

In the prelims, unbeaten prospect Cody Garbrandt meets Tayeka Mizugaki, Artem Lobov takes on Chris Avila and there’s a pair of women’s encounters between Raquel Pennington and Elizabeth Phillips, and Randa Markos and Cortney Casey.

But as ever, all eyes will be on McGregor. What can fight fans expect as he looks to set the record straight with Diaz?

"Fans can look forward to a ferocious fight," he said.

"I'm going in there with ruthless intention. They can look forward to an improved athlete, a focused athlete. It's going to be one hell of a fight."
