What happens when Gangsta meets the Notorious?

The most anticipated rematch of the year finally went down and this time around The Notorious “ Conor McGregor” made the Stockton Ganstsa “ Nate Diaz” recognize his presence.

Conor Mcgregor won the rematch by a majority decision against his arch-rival Nate Diaz.

The first round was pretty much the same as the first fight, McGreggor was the aggressor but this time full camp certainly made a difference as he came through with more precise and controlled striking.

The Notorius started the first round landing some leg kicks then right in the middle of the round he successfully landed his signature left hand and dropped Diaz. The first round was no doubt in favor of Mcgregor.

In round 2 McGregor sticks to his game plan. His striking was controlled and precised, there were successful leg kicks but without throwing spinning back and wheel kicks he was able to conserve his energy. Then he drops Diaz twice in this round with his signature left hand but he let is arch-rvial to get back up. Now Nate Diaz picks up the pace and started throwing volume of punches. Some landed; some did not but it was such an effective strategy to put pressure on McGregor as he steps back looking tired. Diaz ended the round with putting McGregor against the cage. It was almost a great comeback for Diaz had he not ran out of time. McGregor landed more significant strikes and bagged the round 2.

Round 3 is when Mcgregor's cardio was put to the test. Nate was bloody and McGregor seems gassing out. Diaz shown his “Gangsta” approach in this round as he keeps moving forward and exchanges strikes. There were a lot clinching against the cage and surprisingly McGregor throws the spinning back kick in this round which I thought wasn't an ideal move given the situation. There were take down attempts by Diaz but McGregor did a good job defending. Both fighters were doing good fighting off the clinch but Diaz volume striking and taunting are working in this round. I thought round 3 goes to Nate Diaz.

Round 4: McGregor executing his game plan he wasn't panicking, he looks more calm and patient.In this round he looks more OK compared to the previous round. McGregor once again landing some clean hard punches and some leg kicks. Diaz on the other hand attempts to take his opponent down all though did not succeed on taking the fight to the ground Diaz came through with some combinations. There were clinch reversals against the cage and exchange of short punches and elbows. Diaz's bloody face might have somehow affected his vision as McGregor edges him out in this round.

And there's the last round!! the moment of truth. McGregor is consistent with his calculated striking as he keeps on landing the leg kick and punches. In this round he seems to be very cautious as he circles around and checks the clock while Diaz is showing the world his toughness. His ability to take punches gives him an opportunity to land some left and right punches of his own. It was a combination of take down attempts and heavy volume of punches from Diaz. Both fighters spend the last minutes of the fight against the cage, aside from landing some clean strikes McGregor was also able to tripped Diaz but Diaz gets up quickly. Diaz finally scored a take down in dying seconds, he got the mount position but did not have enough time to keep pounding.

The epic fight ended in classiest way you could never imagine. The Gangsta “Diaz” offered his hand to the “Notorious” as he helps him get up. They shook hands and acknowledge each other

The Notorious won the rematch by landing more significant strikes, winner by majority decision.

Both fighters are very much willing to make the rubber match happen. Still far ahead but what are your thoughts on that?
