Wow, Nate Diaz also blasts Conor McGregor’s haters and the trolls…

For those of you that thought the heated rivalry between Nate Diaz and Conor McGregor was still burning, this recent interview might change your mind. We are just 11 days removed from the madness of UFC 196, and the blockbuster pay-per-view card from Las Vegas, Nevada is still making front page news. The UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor faced Nate Diaz in the main event of the evening, and it was more spectacular than any of us could’ve imagined.

To the surprise of many of ‘The Notorious” fan base, the Irish boxer was not able to take Diaz out in the first round as he’d predicted. The chin of the Stockton Jiu Jitsu ace proved steadfast, and by round two it was clear who was going home with the victory. For the first time in McGregor’s UFC career, he was in serious trouble, and Diaz’s combinations began clipping the jaw on a regular basis.

As UFC commentator Mike Goldberg might say, Diaz smelled the opening, and he wasn’t going to let McGregor off the hook. All the trash talk and mentions of ‘snitches in Stockton’ had clearly put wind in the sails of Diaz, and it wasn’t long before his own predictions began to come true. Everyone becomes a wrestler once they get hit, and McGregor did just that, shooting in for an ill fated takedown on the superior grappler. This marked the end of the fight before it had even happened.

The subsequent ground and pound from the mount, attempt to escape by McGregor, and Diaz sinking in the rear naked choke from the back was elementary.

For once it was Conor McGregor on the receiving end of the taunts inside the octagon, he was a broken man, and Nate Diaz’s corner were letting him know this throughout the final moments of the fight. As the featherweight champion tapped out, it was clear that welterweight was not the place for him, and that Diaz’s Jiu Jitsu was simply superb. We also saw a huge backlash in the form of hateful memes and a strange scrutiny of McGregor for tapping out rather than going to sleep.

Relive the moment Conor McGregor captured the UFC interim featherweight title by watching the full UFC 189 fight video against Chad Mendes here…

It was an eventful 2015 for Conor McGregor, who arguably had the best run of any UFC fighter. Three victories, all by T/KO, and an interim title won and then unified were the tale of last year for ‘The Notorious.’ He went from a highly hyped contender, to the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s undisputed lineal featherweight champion with three top notch performances.

Before he had got his hands on UFC gold, McGregor dusted Dennis Siver with ease in January, setting himself up for a highly anticipated title fight with Jose Aldo. At the time, ‘Scarface’ was the reigning and only ever 145-pound boss, and had been thoroughly dominant for his nine years on top. The two were set to meet at UFC 189, but a last minute injury to Aldo meant Chad Mendes was drafted in, and the junior belt was put in place.

So the new scene was set, ALdo needed time to recover, and ‘Money’ already had some beef brewing with McGregor. Fans had renewed interest in the new main event, mainly due to the wrestling prowess of Mendes, and the perceived lack thereof by McGregor. Then came fight night, July 11, 2015 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The MGM Grand Garden Arena was buzzing to see ‘The Notorious’ take on his biggest challenge yet.

It was quite a scrap for sure, as Mendes, although coming in on two weeks notice, did his best to take McGregor out of his comfort zone. Actually lasting 46 times longer than Jose Aldo would in McGregor’s last bout, Mendes did some damage with his nasty ground and pound, but that wasn’t enough.

‘The Notorious’ was victorious, and captured the title he’d soon unify with a 13-second KO against Jose Aldo at UFC 194. Check out the Conor McGregor vs. Chad Mendes full fight video, courtesy of UFC on Youtube:
