Nate Diaz vs Conor McGregor 1 | FREE FIGHT | UFC 279

Alright gentlemen, we've gone over the rules, protect yourselves at all times, follow my instructions, touch the gloves if you want, let's do this, it's not a chance, it's not a chance, Nate Diaz, Conor McGregor,

fight

schedule for five Five minute rounds, here we go, southpaw against southpaw. Connor will switch back and forth from left to right and there is one thing we also need to consider and that is Nate Diaz's wrestling which is very underrated. His submission game is very, very respected. Connor's movement was so brilliant as he turned. A mistake made a clinch. Where is the? clinch

nate

diaz

has only been stopped twice in his career featured years ago by hermes franca kicked in the head and finished by josh thompson that's it and this is his 30th professional

fight

22 in the ufc good jab from

nate

and a good hand left over connor connor the aggressor here early one year eight months good left hand from connor younger than his older brother nick nathan

diaz

the biggest fight of his life it seems with

conor

every fight turns into the biggest of his life Connor he's looking for that left hand over the top Nate moving away and popping that jab looking for those hooks too good movement man down the Stockton zone we'll be talking as much as throwing both men will probably throw kicks without having to worry too much, especially Diaz with his great submission skills, especially from his good back. right hand landed by diaz a short little check hook McGregor obviously trying to close the distance here again he finishes with that big hook and there's a big kick to the leg from Connor and a nice little check hook from Nate Connor using different kicks and Joe this place It's amazing, Misha Tate just won the belt and now what about these guys?

Well, one thing Nate needs to consider is the weight on his front leg. He likes to stay heavy on that front leg and if Conor keeps kicking it it could be a problem. Conor is still doing that hook on the left side, keep an eye out if Nate is going to get hit by him or if he's going to counter him effectively, but he's looking for it a lot here early, there you go right there, trying to get Nate to lean towards Joe . a couple of good right hands from Nate Diaz, good head movement from McGregor from the arms at that point, some blood on the right side of Nate Diaz's face, but both he and his brother Joe have so much scar tissue that they tend to bleed especially. from that eyebrow area very easily and they are already bothered by a couple of good punches there from Nate, good left hand, he just missed.

The crowd loves it, justifiably, so another good left hand from Connor, that one clean, Nate trying to become the aggressor here in the last minute of the first Connor. again sweeping with that main hook knocks him down, he'll pull the guard joe and it's 30 seconds Connor trying to get some ground and hit or just get out of danger nate against the fence turn nice move by nate here in the first round in the books there a good left hand from Connor and there's another one and there's another one and that's the one that really cut him, yeah, 15 straight wins for

conor

mcgregor

17 of 19 wins in the second knockout round, keep an eye on the cut, right eye. by diaz creative hitting one more time by

mcgregor

hunter does a good job covering the distance quickly joe guards comes in and out very well said he didn't come here to participate said he came here to take over we didn't know he was going to be in multiple categories of weight, Conor Good likes to advance for almost the entire fight.

John Cavanaugh was telling her to show him her left hand, he moves away from her and lands the right hook. Fatigue should not be a factor for either fighter. Nate training for the triathlon. Joe mentioned a good left hand from Connor. Connor spilled it. Here's that hook guy who weighs 168. He just missed it, that's the one Cavanaugh was talking about. Secured by Nate. Good defense from Connor. A lot of blood coming out of that right eye seconds into the round. two Connor's bust Nade, which in Diaz's world means absolutely nothing, but he will fight until he can't fight anymore.

Excellent exchanges here, spectacular, good stylistic matchup, Stockton slap coming soon, strong jab from Nate, good head movement, clinch, Joe, this is it. what the world expected, a nice uppercut there from Connor, two of the best in the octagon and the exchange, Nate Diaz is making up some ground here in the second round. The big difference here is the only time there is another connection, Diaz, the couple of big blows that landed on mcgregor's chin now connor is less than 100 oh my god combination nice knee to the body of nate also nate diaz taking it to mcgregor here nate right in front of his corner good shots landed by nate jake shields richard perez and company again diaz connects Connor comes back caught him again with the right hook and another left hook and again with the combination and Connor be careful be careful a minute in the watch diaz gets the pot omg now he has the best that's all he has the chocolate down he's done it all nate diaz defeats conor mcgregor oh my god what a night ladies and gentlemen what a night submission victory for nathan diaz wow wow what did we say before from this fight we have never seen connor overcome adversity and nate diaz has a legit high level and world class brazilian jiu jitsu ground game and it was Conor Joe who initiated the takedown there, well he did it with too absolute desperation.

They were tossing him around, he was getting hurt, and Nate Diaz just dominated him on the ground. in the last hour mate the mma world got a lot more interesting we could barely get it oh my god wow what a crazy night fight replay what a crazy night. I hope Conor McGregor stays offline for a couple of days, here we go, left to the body. it's early in the fight there's a left hand there's a good hook but boom there's one to the chin that surprised conor mcgregor and that's what started it all we saw him stagger and we saw nate smile and here's nate on the ground he just goes through it like butter he puts the mount on him, Connor is in deep trouble, Conor gives his back up, Nate sinks in the chokes on him again and just locks it in deep and Nate Diaz walks away with the biggest win of his life covered of blood, double biceps.

I couldn't be happier look at jake escudos and gracie krone they couldn't be happier either incredible the black belt in gracie brazilian jiu jitsu in his 22nd fight in the ufc with 11 days notice he has defeated the notorious conor mcgregor it's time for our decision official bruce buffer, ladies and gentlemen, referee herb dean has suspended this contest at four minutes and 12 seconds of round number two, declaring the winner by submission due to a rear naked choke, partner dior, great class on both of you Men, you just shook the world, how does it feel? uh it doesn't surprise me
