Conor McGregor will win his rematch with Nate Diaz. Forget the fighting details and follow the money trail. McGregor let slip the likelihood of a trilogy bout should he win. He also labeled it a team versus team affair due to the Lobov-Avila bout on the same card. Considering the potential financial haul, a TUF face-off with the trilogy deciding bout upon the show's conclusion is too irresistible a financial temptation for all involved, especially the new owners. The clincher? The campy bottle throwing walkout by the Diaz contingent was a little too choreographed. (Wow, Nate and Nick Diaz as Drama Queen Sell-outs?) Imagine the broadcast gold spun from the daily repartee between the blue collar plumber turned GQ coverboy McGregor and the seemingly street urchin, pot smoking homie Diaz hellbent on representing his crew. That's the brilliance of Dana White et al. You know it's manipulated but you still are going to watch. Don King and the WWE should be proud! And as much as I enjoy Conor McGregor's antics, I would argue that Diaz is the deeper thinker, the more interesting character.
