Nate Diaz vs. Conor McGregor 2 at UFC 202 is one of the most iconic fights in MMA history. The bout needed all five rounds, with McGregor winning via majority decision after getting the nod from two of the judges.
One of the judges, Glenn Trowbridge, scored the contest 47-47, meaning the bout came close to ending in a draw. Trowbridge came to this conclusion after scoring the third round 10-8 in favor of Diaz. Both Jeff Mullen and Derek Cleary only scored the third frame 10-9 in favor of the Stockton native, which ultimately caused the American to lose the bout.
Based on all of the judges' scorecards, Conor McGregor won rounds one, two and four, while losing three and five on all of the cards. Had Mullen or Cleary seen the third round as a 10-8 for Diaz, the result would have been a majority draw.
