The McGregor vs. Diaz 2 fight sparked debates on the judges’ decision, especially considering Diaz’s strong performance. This raised questions about fairness and a potential robbery of Nate Diaz. Originally scheduled against another opponent, Diaz was a late replacement for the fight at UFC 202. Diaz’s cardio posed challenges for McGregor. However, Conor McGregor won a majority decision.

The fight was a close, 25-minute back-and-forth battle. McGregor used low kicks to slow Diaz down, making it harder for Diaz to pull ahead in the later rounds. UFC 202 was a massive success in pay-per-view terms.

It reportedly broke the PPV record in combat sports history, making it one of the most successful non-boxing PPV events. Some say the fight was marred by the judging. One judge, Glenn Trowbridge, scored the contest 47-47, meaning the bout came close to ending in a draw. Trowbridge came to this conclusion after scoring the third round 10-8 in favor of Diaz.
