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.

UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor got involved in another heavy beef before UFC 196, mixing it up with Nate Diaz in a number of crazy interviews and press conferences. The Stockton bad boy was drafted in when the original booking with Rafael dos Anjos fell apart. The UFC lightweight champ suffered a broken foot, so instead we were treated to a welterweight serving that could not disappoint. In the end, one of the greatest rivalries ever culminated in an action packed two round affair in Sin City.

Nate Diaz got the huge win though, as he sent the champion packing back down to the 145-pound division, once again ready to pick from the line of contenders that wait at featherweight. But what else came out of UFC 196? As is often the case with high level UFC fighters that get turned in to ‘hype trains,’ McGregor’s loss sparked an online backlash much like Ronda Rousey’s KO loss at UFC 193 did.

Just one example of hundreds of memes that flooded the mixed martial arts forums following Diaz’s victory over McGregor. So what gives? Yes ‘The Notorious’ is about as brash and brazen as they come, but at the end of the bout he was humble and spoke nothing but truth, giving Diaz his credit as the better man. Surely once the hype is stripped away, even the most outspoken characters are hard working and sincere fighters?

Yes, even the most hardened of warriors has feelings and emotions, and McGregor actually channelled the inner Romeo during a classic moment that flew under the radar.
