It's close. Even with the grandiosity of UFC 200, the shakeups of UFC 201 and the various Fight Night cards dotted around in between, the MMA world has its eyes set on just one fight: Nate Diaz vs. Conor McGregor 2.
With UFC 201 out of the way, there is just one more card and two more Saturdays between fans and the biggest fight of the summer. Of course, there are plenty of other bouts to talk about as well. The full UFC 202 card is as follows:
- Nate Diaz vs. Conor McGregor
- Anthony Johnson vs. Glover Teixeira
- Rick Story vs. Donald Cerrone
- Tim Means vs. Sean Strickland
- Cody Garbrandt vs. Takeya Mizugaki
- Raquel Pennington vs. Elizabeth Phillips
- Hyun Gyu Lim vs. Sultan Aliev
- Alberto Uda vs. Marvin Vettori
- Neil Magny vs. Lorenz Larkin
- Artem Lobov vs. Chris Avila
- Ning Guangyou vs. Marlon Vera
- Colby Covington vs. Max Griffin
The bout order is yet to be officially revealed, but all signs point to the first five bouts being the UFC 202 main card. With that in mind, it's worth taking an early look at the card and recapping the importance of each match.
