Oh yeah, McGregor took on such a monster with Nate Diaz... a man who by the time he fought McGregor only had 9 losses to his name. Such a big challenge for McGregor to overcome!

And you act as if McGregor wasn't a weight bully his entire time in the 145 division. The guy walked around at 175 when he was fighting in Featherweight. Look at the height and reach discrepancy of most of his opponents until he was finally around the same size of the Lightweights when he moved up.
