That massive reach for Diaz won the fight. Connor was winning cleanly but had to eat shots to get his punches in. Halfway through the 2nd round Diaz hit him clean with a left and it spun out of control for McGregor than. The take down attempt was pure desperation, trying to bide time, gather himself. With Nate Diaz though and a full minute left it was death.
Awesome fight. Moving up in weight probably isn't the smartest like some have said but it was the reach that couldn't be overcome.
As for women's MMA that Trojan touched on above.. I love it. Tate/Holm was a lot of fun and Joanna Jedrzejczyk is my favourite fighter at the moment, her trash talk is scary.
Nice to see the crowd pop like that for GSP.
