thought Nate just edged it

Really Conor easily took first second and forth! 5th was a draw at best

Damn close overall but great fight

If I was a judge I'd have scored a draw

Going to rewatch have beer left over had paced to go till half 6

Ive never been so stressed out watching a fight, 2 true warriors.

Conor winning the 4th round won him the fight. Thought he was done after the 3rd.

corny

Amazing how many people are on first name terms with these lads.

Cypher_sounds

McGregor clear winner he battered him punch wise Diaz only had real joy in pockets up against the cage.
Diaz said it himself that he was surprised that Conor didn't finish him.

Any psychologists wanna assess that yeah????

x PyRo

J Mysterio

Rogan is gutted.

Broken foot for Conor, MSG in Novemeber is looking unlikely now.

Fingers crossed it's not as bad as it seems. Killer when those kicks get checked!

How he dug in there I've no idea, but fair play to him.

I personally had 47-47. I never saw a more dominant round than Nate's third. Can't argue with a 48-47 though.

15% called it right here. Goes to show how anything can happen in an MMA fight.

Both took Savage punishment. Diaz is some brawler and has amazing cardio.

Mcgregor is getting better all the time. This fight will be an amazing learning experience for him.

to be fair he basically was, really dug deep to pull it out of the hat what an insane fight, robbie and rory might have to take a step down the list!

Conor won 1st 2nd and 4th. Diaz the other 2. Mcg wants to have a serious think about his fitness regime.

Seriously?

The mind boggles.

Yeah i am deadly serious, he lasted a round and a half. In what he said was his best camp ever. Costing 300,000. I am also deadly serious when i say he should relocate his 8 week pre fight camp. To tristar or jacksons.

Buzzing here but I'm also cock-eyed from being up 24 hours and 8 minutes. Time to go one on one with the great one (me leaba). Night/morning, lads.

Too Tough To Die

McGregor via Submission

I gave 1, 2 and 4 to McGregor. Where he pulled that round 4 out of i'll never know. Showed great heart, which i think was in question after the last fight.

raging theres no presser now!

That_Guy

I'm not sure if I need to see a third fight between the two. They have nothing to prove....

UNLESS

It's for a lightweight title down the line.

JustTheOne

Once again I thought conor can't do 5 rounds:)

Im going to be a dick and say I called it!

randy hickey

Regardless of who won the fight, I think it's fair to say that the UFC needed a McGregor win to keep the Notorious Cash Cow mooing.

That was a war.. .a real war. Delighted for Conor, by god did he need that win. Was actually expecting a draw from the judges....it was that tight. Incredible fight....kudos to Diaz too.

Soups123

I'm no expert at this but I see a few saying he needs to work on the fitness

But surely rounds 4 and 5 showed he did and greatly improved the strength he had to stop the take downs too

Super fight, going to rewind and watch again with my fingers not over my face

10-8 in the third is a stretch imo
If you never seen a more dominant round you have seen many tbh.

Scorecard should be out soon

Call Me Jimmy

A big difference in this one was that he wasn't surprised when diaz didnt fall to his monster shots.

I thought he was a little too cautious when he knocked diaz down a couple times.
