Although there’s no word on the rematch between Nate Diaz and Conor McGregor, Gilbert Melendez believes the fight will happen and predicts his Cesar Gracie teammate to win again.

Both men were originally scheduled to headline the blockbuster UFC 200 PPV on July 9, but McGregor was pulled from the bout after refusing to attend a Las Vegas press conference last month.

The rematch was to be contested at welterweight, where ‘The Notorious’ made his 170-pound debut against Diaz at UFC 196. McGregor found success early on, but succumbed to Diaz’ pressure boxing and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, tapping to a rear-naked choke in the second round.
