However, it is one that majorly paid off.

McGregor versus Diaz was money. The two trash talked fans into parting with their money and their Welterweight scrap was well worth the price of admission.

The smaller McGregor started lively but faded and the bigger, stronger, Diaz picked him off to win the fight via submission.

This was merely a taster for what the pair would produce in an even more memorable re-match. The public's appetite was whetted too as evidenced by the buyrate UFC 202 pulled when the pair contested their famous rematch.
