According to Nick Diaz, his brother’s fight against Conor McGregor at UFC 202 was a game of inches, one that could have swayed based on his presence alone.
“Just one inch. That’s the difference between how that fight could’ve gone. As far as I’m concerned, I definitely could’ve been that inch,” Diaz said on Opie Radio. “They just wanted to keep me out of there. It would’ve definitely helped him out a lot. I was seeing things in that fight that I would have called and told him. I was seeing things that he wasn’t seeing.
