HE’S DONE IT! Conor McGregor defeats Nate Diaz at UFC 202

Alan Loughnane

WHAT A FIGHT!

Conor McGregor has defeated Nate Diaz at UFC 202 in a majority decision in what is one of the best UFC fights in recent memory.

It was an all out war with McGregor starting strong and clearly winning the first round, but that tide began to change in the second round as Diaz began to grow into the fight.

A big round three by Diaz had the Notorious holding on for dear life but the Dubliner got a second wind and managed to put in a strong fourth round.

The fight went the distance with a toss of a coin between the fighters in the last round.

THANKFULLY, McGregor came out the right side of majority decision…

When you factor in that McGregor reportedly broke his foot midway through the fight, that was some performance.
