#1 UFC 202 – vs. Conor Mcregor
At the point when news of the gigantic buy rate for UFC 196 rose, it turned out to be truly certain that a rematch amongst Diaz and McGregor was most likely on the cards. The advancement at first endeavored to book the battle for the landmark UFC 200 show, however a dispute between the UFC and McGregor forced the battle to be re-reserved for UFC 202.
Build Up With Drama
On the off chance that enthusiasm for the battle had been shockingly low in the weeks paving the way to the occasion, things changed quickly when a pre-battle question and answer session went completely viral.
Diaz endeavoured to exit, just to insult McGregor first verbally, and afterwards by tossing a container at him. Conor reacted by propelling jars of caffeinated drink at Diaz and his crew. After this incident, all of a sudden the promotion for the battle was off the charts once again.
Although, keeping in mind that this was presumably not the best UFC battle ever, however, this rematch was a genuine war of the titans, that saw the two warriors leave completely everything in the Octagon.
The first and second rounds went immovably to McGregor, as he took a leaf from the book of the last man to beat Diaz – Dos Anjos – and worked him over with leg kicks that enabled him to set up his huge power punches.
Diaz continued his late found momentum at the end of the second round, thus creating the impression that the tides were now shifting. In the last seconds, it created the impression that the ‘Notorious One’ was on the ropes.
However he figured out how to survive the round and after that returned thundering in the fourth, evidently having discovered an unexpected burst of energy. The leg kicks and crisper punches also returned and before the finish of the round, it was Diaz – now a grisly chaos – on edge.
The fifth round was an unadulterated canal war, the two men swinging for the wall and landing on the floor, with Diaz truly pushing hard for the takedown, safe in the information that he could overwhelm McGregor on the ground once more.
Meanwhile, Conor demonstrated to some degree an underrated wrestling diversion, and averted the takedown until the last snapshots of the battle – which finished with Diaz working inside the Irishman’s defence.
The Final Decision
Whichever way the decision went, it was continually going to be fairly questionable because of the intricacies of the battle – however few individuals contended when McGregor was granted the win, two judges going 48-47 for him with the third running with a 47-47 draw. Diaz looked enraged with the decision, however he had generally found to be incensed, at whatever point he had lost a battle by decision.
Undeniably, it was a great fight, that everybody had trusted it would be, with McGregor making the correct acclimations to abstain from losing in an indistinguishable manner.
Records Broken
The battle outperformed all the promotion going in, including the UFC’s pay-per-view record as well – drawing an enormous 1.6 million purchases and establishing the two men as gigantic stars.
And although Nate Diaz lost, it remains without a doubt his most significant UFC battle – until the point that he faces McGregor again in a trilogy fight.
