The current UFC featherweight champion suffered a second-round submission defeat to the American at UFC 196 earlier this month.

McGregor, 19-3, started the fight well and inflicted some serious damage on Diaz's face.

But he faded away in the second round after being wobbled by a vicious one-two combination and was forced to tap out when Diaz slapped a nasty Rear Naked Choke on his neck.

Shortly after the defeat, which took place in the welterweight division, McGregor hinted that his next fight would be a defence of his featherweight title.

However, he's refusing to close the door on a potential rematch with Diaz.

"I think I'd like to see that, yeah," he told TMZ.

"I mean, it's one that interests me, most certainly. You know, when I look at the fight I was winning the fight.

"I won the first round and a half, I feel. I'd love to get that one back.

"We'll see how it goes. Money talks. Life is good."

McGregor has been tipped by UFC president Dana White to return to action at UFC 200, which takes place on July 9.

And 'The Notorious' is itching to get back in the Octagon and erase the memory of his defeat to Diaz.

"I'm ready to go again," he added.

"I had a great time. It was a good fight, a hell of a fight.

"I look forward to coming back with a vengeance."
