UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor is set to return. Full details here…

It was a pretty rough ride for the UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor at UFC 196, as he fought and lost to submission master Nate Diaz in the pay-per-view main event. Just under a week ago now in Sin City was one of the most memorable UFC events ever, and so much hinged on that main event showdown. Who knows what would have happened if Rafael dos Anjos had made it to the fight, as he was originally scheduled to face McGregor with the lightweight strap on the line before falling out injured.

As it was, ‘The Notorious’ and Diaz made good use of their 11-day window of hype opportunity, setting the internet alight with some classic confrontations and showdowns. McGregor fell foul to the lethal grappling skills of Diaz, but the Stockton bad boy was also lighting the Irishman up in the striking. Opinions of how McGregor was perhaps ill suited to welterweight have been expressed many times since that night.

Now the talk turns to what’s next for each man. For Nate Diaz, it’s a well deserved bump in to the limelight, and there’s even been talk from Firas Zahabi of a fight with Georges St-Pierre. The former welterweight champion has been inactive since 2013 when he ~~lost~~ won a split decision against Johny Hendricks at UFC 167. But the UFC hasn’t yet revealed what is exactly planned for Diaz, unlike the man he beat at UFC 196.

The madness of UFC 196 is still just settling in, as we saw one champion dethroned in epic fashion, and another beaten in a division he put on 25 pounds to fight in. First up, the meat on the bone, Conor McGregor vs. Nate Diaz. The main event in Las Vegas, Nevada did not disappoint, as the two trash talking welterweights put it on the line in a two-round thriller. In the first round at least, it looked as though McGregor’s striking was on point, but perhaps he got overconfident coming in to the second frame.

Diaz began landing with regularity in the second round, and McGregor’s legs locked out from a big left hand. All of a sudden, the confidence sunk out of ‘The Notorious,’ and it was replaced with panic as the fight went to the mat. Diaz quickly snaked his way to the full mount where McGregor tried to shrimp escape. Forgetting to tie up the leg of Diaz with his own, he gave up his back to the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt after eating some ground and pound, it was as good as over from that moment.

The rear naked choke locked up, and before going to sleep like Holly Holm did in the main event, McGregor chose to tap out. The 209 rejoiced, including Nate’s older brother Nick Diaz, who’s hilarious reaction was captured by Karyn Bryant of MMA Heat, check it out:
