I\u2019ve got that trilogy with Diaz. I will give that man a rematch. He gave me a rematch, so I\u2019ll give him a rematch. [At] 155 [pounds], I\u2019d imagine, but we\u2019ll see because maybe we could spearhead a 165-pound division. I do believe we should go 145, 155, 165, 175, 185, even 195. Why not? There\u2019s more belts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"JnxFso\">\u201cThey\u2019re stripping people [of titles] left and right,\u201d Conor McGregor added, discussing the merits of adding more weight classes. \u201cThey stripped me and I only walked out the damn cage. They didn\u2019t even offer me a fight and I was getting stripped. And then Cormier was injured or something happened to him and I got stripped of my second belt because of that reason just so they can juice up cards with belts. Well hey, stick in more weight divisions, more champions. Why not? If that\u2019s what you\u2019re doing anyway because you just want the belt &#8211; look what happened at UFC 230. I think the Diaz-Poirier fight should be main event, personally. It\u2019s great for the women, get them up there but I mean, if it\u2019s the belt that they\u2019re doing this for then why not add more divisions, more belts, more champions, more pay-per-views with belts on the line. It\u2019s gonna help the athletes, I believe, with weight-cutting and things like that. So maybe me and Diaz can do the trilogy at 165.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Would you be interested in seeing Conor McGregor rematch Nate Diaz at 165 pounds?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>This article first appeared on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>BJPENN.COM<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0on 10\/4\/2018.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Conor McGregor feels he owes Nate Diaz a rematch.
