Gunnar Nelson expects a more dominant performance from teammate Conor McGregor in a rematch against Nate Diaz.
During the build-up of UFC 196, featherweight world champion Conor McGregor promised to finish Nate Diaz inside one round, ripping on the latter’s "soft body and lack of preparation."
Unfortunately, the exact opposite happened, and instead, "The Notorious" was dealt with his first UFC loss via second round rear-naked choke.
Pundits and fans alike have made their respective speculations and reasons behind McGregor’s loss. While some attribute it to him jumping up in weight class, others point it to Diaz’s advantage on the ground and his own striking craft.
