LAS VEGAS – Conor McGregor looked as though he was tiring halfway through the second round of his highly anticipated rematch with Nate Diaz, but the featherweight champ dug deep to edge out a majority-decision victory.

The non-title welterweight bout headlined today’s UFC 202 event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. It aired on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.

McGregor (20-3 MMA, 8-1 UFC), who lost the duo’s first meeting via second-round submission in March, opened the highly anticipated and heavily marketed rematch with a pair of leg kicks, a tactic that paid off throughout the fight as Diaz (19-11 MMA, 14-9 UFC) absorbed dozens of them and ultimately suffered the loss via 48-47, 47-47 and 48-47 scores.

Conor McGregor obtuvo una victoria por decisión sobre Nate diaz el sabado en la noche en Las Vegas, en lo que se anticipaba seria una sangrienta revancha, en combate sin el titulo pluma del Irlandes en juego.

McGregor ahora con marca de 20-3 en MMA y 8-1 en UFC, quien perdio la primera pelea ante Diaz el pasado mes de marzo, se anticipo desde el arranque del combate conectando los mejores golpes y derribando en dos ocasiones a Diaz, pero sin animarse a rematarlo en el piso. al final dos los jueces vieron ganador a McGregor 48-47 y uno dio empate 47-47.

Al final y en el propio octano, mientras McGregor con su característico vocabulario dijo que el rey estaba de vuelta y Diaz pedia una tercera pelea, lo que al unísono pidio el auditorio.
