‘Let him punch himself out’ — Nate Diaz says Floyd Mayweather showed ‘blueprint’ to beat McGregor

Nate Diaz believes Conor McGregor’s loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr. was one of the worst things that could have happened to him.

Diaz, winner of The Ultimate Fighter 5, claims Floyd laid out the blueprint to beat McGregor by letting the Irishman ‘punch himself out’ and then pouncing on him in the later rounds after he no longer has the energy to defend himself.

“Floyd Mayweather went and showed the blueprint to beat him, let him punch himself out and in the 10th round he beat his a**,” Diaz said of McGregor’s 10th-round TKO loss to Mayweather during a recent appearance on The MMA Hour (h/t Low Kick MMA).
