#2 UFC 202: Diaz vs. McGregor 2
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.
For this rematch, McGregor made it very clear that his prediction for this fight was that he would knock Diaz out in the second round. Unfortunately, he was wrong once again. However, he did knock the former welterweight down twice in the second round, with Diaz later claiming that being knocked down, for him, was a “tactic”.
The Irishman ended up winning the fight via majority decision..
