A bloodbath for both the competitors

After the featherweight champion spent months and months recuperating from his first UFC loss at the hands of Diaz, he made it his mission to redeem his record and face the Stockton native once again. The two had first met in what would be one of the worst nights of McGregor’s UFC career.

In this particular fight, however, we saw McGregor slightly reinvented, calculated and incredibly intelligent in his aggression towards Diaz. The fight was a fine-tuned contest between two high-level athletes that saw plenty of blood, heart and determination.

The Irishman ended up winning the fight via majority decision..
