#4 UFC 202: Diaz vs McGregor 2 - August 20, 2016

Conor McGregor - Victorious at UFC 202

UFC 202 was a significant event, being the first to be presented under their new ownership of William Morris Endeavour.

The main event was a Welterweight re-match between Conor McGregor and Nick Diaz. McGregor had lost his previous fight with the veteran Diaz at UFC 196, earlier in the year.

McGregor who seemed to be on a non-stop tour of UFC's weight classes, having competed at Welterweight and Featherweight between 2015 and 2016. Incidentally, he would then compete at Lightweight in his next UFC bout at UFC 205.

There are no superlatives to do the McGregor-Diaz clash justice. It was an all-out war. McGregor dominated the first two rounds with kicks and punches, largely keeping Diaz at bay until momentum began to shift as McGregor tired.

Diaz unloaded with a huge series of combinations and take-downs in the third as McGregor gasped for breath as he luckily survived to take the bout into a fourth round, which made the fight the longest of his career.

McGregor somehow got a second wind and came out swinging, making a right mess of Diaz's face as he did so. The final two rounds saw the pair exchange a huge amount of stiff strikes and McGregor won via a narrow majority decision. It was tight, but probably the right result.

Anthony Johnson's bout with Glover Teixeira didn't last long but for its 13-second duration engrossed the audience. The two exchanged blows immediately but Johnson hit harder and that was all she wrote.

Further down the card, Donald Cerrone beat Rick Story. Brutal finishes were the story of this event as Cerrone finished Story with a computer gamesque combination of body shots followed by an incredible high kick. Another flurry of punches finished Story. What a match this was.

Mike Perry impressed on debut as he defeated Hyun Gyu Lim knocking him down three times in a little over 200 seconds of action. In truth, Lim was out on his feet after the first knockdown and did well to regain his footing. Brutal action but ridiculously entertaining,

Tim Means beat Sabah Homasi in a hugely impressive performance. His clinch work was a thing of beauty and he picked apart his opponent with all the poise of a skilled veteran. A star-making display ended when Means finally destroyed Homasi's face and the referee mercifully stopped the massacre.

UFC 202 was pure entertainment from top to bottom.
