Reigning Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) featherweight champion Conor McGregor pounded out Chad Mendes to win the interim 145-pound title at UFC 189, then unified the belts with a knockout win over Jose Aldo at UFC 194 later that year.
Not too shabby.
But not everyone under the ZUFFA banner is ready to start patting his Irish back. That includes welterweight nemesis Nate Diaz, who wants the promotion to level the playing field when it comes to pre-fight promotion, as opposed to lining up opponents like some sort of "Notorious" shooting gallery.
