Conor McGregor might get his wish after all ... 'cause the UFC is reportedly finalizing a rematch between the UFC superstar and Nate Diaz ... TMZ Sports has confirmed.

The fight would go down at UFC 200 in July ... so says MMAFighting.com's Ariel Helwani who says the UFC is hoping to announce the fight in the very near future.

Over the weekend, McGregor told TMZ Sports he would LOVE another shot at Diaz -- insisting he was winning the fight until Diaz took over in the 2nd round.

"I would love to get that one back," McGregor said.

Stay tuned ...

Quinton "Rampage" Jackson got a makeover for his most prized possession ... the iconic 'A-Team' van, and says it's finally worthy of a viewing from Mr. T himself.

Producers hooked up the ex-UFC champ after he played B.A. Baracus ... gifting him the van he and the crew mobbed around in for the 2010 'A-Team' flick. We're told it had been sitting in a garage for years and the paint job was jacked.

Enter the guys at L.A. Street Customs -- we're told Rampage took his baby to their shop in North Hollywood to make it presentable again. Check out the unveiling. Luckily for everyone involved ... Rampage seems happy.

No need to pity a fool ... this time.

Remember when Ronda Rousey said her jaw was so jacked up after the Holly Holm fight in November that she couldn't bite into an apple??

Yeah, well ... she's back.

Check out this clip of Ronda testing out her jaw strength for Uninterrupted ... chomping the fruit and adding, "I'm pretty excited about this!"

BTW, Ronda had previously said her jaw recovery could take as many as 6 months ... so, she's ahead of schedule.

Now, let's get that Tate fight on the calendar, huh???

What do we do when we fall off the horse?

If you're Holly Holm... you get your ass back in the gym and start training with some of the best MMA stars in the world.

Here's the fallen champ posing for pics at the Jackson Wink MMA Academy in Albuquerque Friday after working out with Jon Jones and Joanna Jedrzejczyk.

Thursday, Holm was rollin' with BJ Penn and Roberto Alencar.

Holm has vowed to bounce back after her loss to Miesha Tate and win the UFC belt back.

This ain't a bad way to start ...

Most celebs would be too embarrassed to show up a hot Hollywood nightclub with a black eye -- but most celebs aren't Nate Diaz.

The UFC superstar was proudly sporting his shiner from the McGregor fight as he hit up the legendary Hyde lounge on the Sunset Strip with his brother Nick Diaz.

The two were in a GREAT mood -- partying with a massive entourage.

In fact, we saw the gang hittin' a liquor store after the club -- we're guessing they were gearing up for the after-party.

To the victor ...

Bad news for Mark Ballas ... you're going to get your ass kicked -- courtesy of UFC superstar Paige VanZant.

This is pretty funny ... Miesha Tate exacting revenge on the cop who checked out her ass during the UFC 196 weigh ins -- by ogling him right back.

The cop -- Officer Russel Mettke -- became a viral sensation last week for using extreme side-eye to sneak a peek at Miesha's butt while she changed on the UFC stage.

Miesha wasn't exactly offended ... in fact, she thought it was hilarious -- and went over to the LVMPD to get a little payback.

Terry Crews thinks the war of words between Justin Bieber and Nate Diaz should be a WAR OF FISTS ... saying he firmly believes the best way for the men to settle their beef is to throw down!!!

Crews was out at Craig's when we asked how the guys in Hollywood's newest celebrity feud should settle their beef ... a beef that started when Bieber dissed Diaz's fighting style on social media.

Of course, Diaz fired back on the "TMZ Sports" TV show -- saying, "F**k that fool."

But Terry -- who stars in "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" -- says the time for talk is OVER and it's time for the guys to settle it like men ... IN THE OCTAGON!!!!

Holly Holm's manager says Dana White "hates my guts" for allowing Holly to fight Miesha Tate before a Rousey rematch ... telling TMZ Sports, "It's personal."

White went on ESPN Tuesday and trashed Lenny Fresquez -- saying, "He's an old boxing guy who thinks he's smart, and he's not."

White added, "I don't know if Holly really knows what she lost. I think she has so much faith in the people that surround her, she feels like, 'Well, they got me this far.'"

Now, Fresquez is firing back ... telling TMZ Sports the idea he forced Holly to fight Miesha is "ludicrous."

"I didn't make Holly fight Miesha. Holly is the boss. I work for her. We gave her the different options. Fight Miesha in March. Wait for Ronda in November or December. She said, 'I don't want to wait. I want to fight.'"

As for Dana's comments, Fresquez says ... "Dana hates my guts. It's personal. How could it be my fault? Holly is the boss."

When contacted by TMZ Sports, Dana White explained, "When we met with them [Holly] wasn’t even in the meeting. Holly wasn’t present when we were talking about her money or any of it. It's Holly’s life, and Holly’s career. She should have been in the meeting too."

After the fight, Fresquez says Holly addressed the team and took full responsibility -- "Holly told us, 'I'm not Monday morning quarterbacking anything. Everyone did their job except me.'"

As for her next fight, Fresquez says Holly wants a rematch with Miesha -- "We'd like to fight Miesha at UFC 200 in July. Then fight Ronda in November."

UFC superstar Nate Diaz has a message for Conor McGregor -- just because you WANT a rematch doesn't mean you're gonna get one.

Nate joined the guys on the "TMZ Sports" TV show (airing tonight on FS1) -- and responded to McGregor's vow that the two will face off again to avenge his loss at UFC 196.

"I'm sure he does want a rematch," Diaz said ... "I've wanted a lot of rematches too. Time will tell how things play out."

Diaz also doubles down on his attack on Justin Bieber -- saying, "F**k that fool" ... after Bieber insulted his fighting style on social media.

There's A LOT more in the full interview which airs tonight on "TMZ Sports" on FS1 at 9 PM PT, 12 AM ET.

Cris "Cyborg" Justino says the fact Ronda Rousey considered suicide after her loss to Holly Holm proves she has a "weak mind."

We had initially asked Cyborg if she thought Miesha Tate had crossed the line by bringing up Rousey's post-fight depression on "TMZ Sports" Monday ... and that's when Cyborg went in.

"When you fight, you can lose, you can win. It's a sport. You cannot think you want suicide because you lose one fight."

"Some people handle it better than others."

Justin Bieber is in a brand new celebrity feud ... with UFC superstar Nate Diaz!!!

Here's the deal ... after the fight, Bieber praised Conor McGregor on social media -- posting a photo of the guy with the caption, "Still the champ."

Then he posted video of a toast he made to Conor saying, "To McGregor. He's still the champ. That broke my heart."

He added, "No bandwagon but Conor is a true champion, fights with style and finesse, all the respect to Nate but his style is terrible. Nate has crazy heart respect."

So, how did Nate Diaz react???

He posted a image on Instagram showing him slapping Bieber in the face with the caption, "Shut your bitch ass up."

He added the caption, "Bieber's a hater."

Your move now, Justin ...

2 Chainz says he ain't throwin' in the towel on Conor McGregor -- saying he wasn't just impressed with the way he fought ... but LOVED the fact he still went clubbin' after the fight.

As we previously reported, Conor hit Surrender nightclub hours after losing to Nate Diaz at UFC 196 -- and then went to a bikini pool party the very next day.

Miesha Tate is questioning Ronda Rousey's focus -- saying Ronda's more worried about having babies than fighting ... and it's going to hurt her when they step in the octagon.

Tate joined the guys on "TMZ Sports" (airs tonight on FS1) -- when we asked her how she felt about fighting Rousey for a 3rd time.

Tate says she's 100% down -- but says she's not sure the feeling is mutual.

"I don't even know what [Ronda] is thinking right now ... it seems like her motivation to stick around was to have Travis Browne's baby. So, I don't know."

Tate was referring to Rousey's interview on "Ellen" -- when she said the only thing that pulled her out of her post-fight funk after the loss to Holly Holm was the thought of starting a family with Browne.

"Every time I've ever lost my motivation is to get back up on the horse and fight someone again and work my way back to the top," Tate says.

There's A LOT more in the full interview which airs tonight at 9 PM PT, 12 AM ET on FS1.

Holly Holm says her loss to Miesha Tate is "not the end for me" -- and has challenged the new champ to a rematch.

Holly went to Instagram and posted a pic of herself in the chokehold that did her in ... saying, "This is how Saturday night ended but it's not the end for me."

"I am going to train hard and show that I am better than this. I am down but not out. Thank you @mieshatate for the opportunity last weekend. Well done. What do you say? ....Let's do this again."

She added the hashtag #downbutnotout.

Conor McGregor and Holly Holm have nothing to be ashamed of -- because they put on two of the greatest MMA fights of all time ... so says Charles Barkley.

Barkley's a big fight fan -- and when we got him out in NYC Monday, he was still raving about UFC 196 and the two big upsets ... Diaz over McGregor and Tate over Holm.

One other thing ... with Miesha beating Holly ... and Holly having beat Ronda ... and Ronda having beat Miesha -- we had to ask Charles if there's one fighter he considers the BEST of the bunch.
