(#9) Nate Diaz vs Conor McGregor (C)
After all the bottle throwing, this is the time to actually prove a point, or maybe satisfy one's ego.
The first encounter bet the two was absolute fun to watch. McGregor clearly has the tools to take on the hard headed Diaz. It isn't the question of the weight difference but more of a mental game.

It's aboout what your learn about your opponent.
McGregor tried to knock Diaz out even in their first encounter, when the world knew that was a long shot when it comes to the Diaz brothers. McGregor is fast, precise and really smooth in delivering his strikes. What Diaz might lack in speed though, he covers up in skill.
Diaz is bigger and not to forget, more experienced in the weight class. He is more comfortable and confident than Notorious. Given the upper hand due to his Jiu-Jitsu over McGregor, odds are in the favour of Diaz but Conor might not give up without a fight.
Prediction: Diaz via submission of Round 3
