UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor and scrappy fan-favorite Nate Diaz dominated the headlines in 2016, and for good reason.
The pair’s two meetings last year provided some of 2016’s most spectacular and most memorable highlights, and now the UFC and FOX have combined to release a short feature taking you even closer to the cage at UFC 202, where McGregor (21-3 MMA, 9-1 UFC) edged Diaz (19-11 MMA, 14-9 UFC) in a blood-soaked encounter for the ages.
In the latest edition of “UFC Soundwaves,” you’ll see McGregor’s love for spending money up close and personal as he proclaims himself to be not just a businessman, but “a business, man.”
But the real hook comes from reliving the epic UFC 202 rematch from August 2016, where McGregor and Diaz served as the main event at Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena. In a back-and-forth affair that had the crowd on its feet from start to finish, both fighters’ corners believed their athlete had done enough to take home the win.
McGregor and Diaz weren’t so sure – but even the two bitter rivals came together with mutual praise at the close of 25 minutes of action. Heck, even longtime MMA referee “Big” John McCarthy was gushing with praise for the two battered foes.
