#3 Conor McGregor Vs Nate Diaz.

UFC Fight Night 26
Conor McGregor.

It was a time when the Irish Mixed Arts sensation Conor McGregor had just became a global phenomenon after beating the longtime UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo in a 13 knock out. He clearly didn't have any competition in his division after beating Aldo.

So he jumped division and challenged the then lightweight champion Rafael Dos Anjos. But Dos Anjos could not make it to the fight due to an injury and Nate Diaz called him out instead. The featherweight champ was swift to accept Diaz's offer to fight him.

In the lead up to the historic fight with Nate Diaz, McGregor had appeared on the Conan show. He demonstrated his Capoeira moves before his fellow Irishman Conan and spoke of his future plans including competing in higher weight divisions.

Unfortunately, McGregor failed to knock out the granite chined Nate in the second round as he promised and found it really difficult to keep up with Nates Cardio. He tapped to a submission by Nate in the second round, forcing the referee to stop the bout. This bout was the first time McGregor faced defeat in the UFC
