| Conor McGregor |
Conor McGregor has quickly emerged as one of the biggest attractions in the history of MMA thanks to his bold trash talking and success inside the Octagon. He was supposed to fight Rafael Dos Anjos for the lightweight title earlier this year when Dos Anjos pulled out.
Nate Diaz took the fight on short notice and scored the upset win in front of the second biggest pay-per-view audience in MMA history.
Now, McGregor is
gunning for revenge while Diaz seeks to reaffirm the result of the first fight.
Round 1. McGregor opens with a couple low kicks.
McGregor continues to hammer the leg. Diaz lands a nice punch up the middle.
Diaz throws some leg kicks of his own. McGregor appears to stagger Diaz a
little with a left hand. He then drops Diaz with another. Diaz gets back up.
Diaz connects with a solid right hook. McGregor continues to throw those leg
kicks. He will then follow with power punches. McGregor lands a nice 1-2 punch
combination to the body and head. McGregor lands a hard left hand straight up the
middle. Diaz lands a few jabs of his own. That was a dominant round for
McGregor. 10-9 McGregor.
Round 2. McGregor goes back to work on Diaz's
lead leg. He then drops Diaz with a left hand and calls for Diaz to return to
his feet. McGregor drops Diaz again with another punch. He has Diaz stand back
up but Diaz does so slowly. Diaz is bleding from the face, although it appears
to mostly be coming from the nose and not in the eyes. McGregor attacks the
body with punches. Diaz is struggling to get off. He also isn't able to take
advantage of his reach advantage. Diaz begins to add the pressure in the second
half of the round, opening up with punches and moving forward. McGregor moves
away. Diaz clearly thinks McGregor is tiring. Diaz catches McGregor with some
solid punches up against the cage with less than a minute left. He's pouring it
on. This is like a replay of the first fight. Still McGregor's round. 10-9
McGregor.
Winner: Anthony Johnson, KO, round 1
Johnson has probably the scariest power in the
sport and he showed it again tonight. Any opponent facing Johnson has to know
that to get a win, they are going to have to weather some serious early danger.
