Nate Diaz is a special breed of fighter. Unlike most fighters, Diaz doesn’t prepare for his bouts with a positive mindset. In fact, according to the Stockton local, who rematches Conor McGregor in a welterweight tilt at UFC 202, Diaz goes into fights thinking he’s ‘probably gonna get knocked out.’

The former lightweight title challenger spoke about his preparation for UFC 202 on ‘Conan’ earlier this week.
