Conor McGregor defeats Nate Diaz at UFC 202 by majority decision

The highly anticipated rematch between Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz went down Saturday night at UFC 202 inside the new T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. McGregor was originally slated to fight Rafael dos Anjos for the lightweight belt at UFC 196, but an injury forced him off the card and Diaz stepped in on 11 days notice.

What went down at UFC 196 would be cemented into UFC history, with Diaz strolling in and knocking off the UFC's biggest star with a rear-naked choke in the second round. McGregor obsessively demanded a rematch against Diaz and the fight was booked for UFC 200 originally, before being delayed to UFC 202.
