Whet your appetite

Spoiler alert – Nate Diaz wins.

With just over a fortnight to go until Conor McGregor gets the chance to avenge his only UFC defeat, why not treat yourself to a little reminder of how the first meeting played out?

McGregor will be hoping to even the score with his Stockton rival when the pair clash in the main event of UFC 202 on August 20.

UFC 196: McGregor v Diaz

It’s been five months since Diaz shocked the world (but not himself) by submitting ‘The Notorious’ by rear naked choke in the second round of the UFC 196 headliner.

The Irishman was up on the scorecards during the welterweight tilt but gassed in the second round as his headhunting ways got the best of his fuel tank.

And Nathan Diaz was “not surprised, motherfuckers!”
