Rafael dos Anjos thinks Nate Diaz beat Conor McGregor in a ‘sloppy’ fight at UFC 202

Conor McGregor beat Nate Diaz via majority decision in an exciting fight at UFC 202, but former UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos disagrees with the judges.

Dos Anjos, who holds a win over Diaz and trained to defend his belt against McGregor earlier this year, wasn’t impressed with the welterweight bout, praised by many as one of the best fights so far in 2016. The Brazilian lightweight scored it for Diaz, giving him the edge in three of the five rounds.

"I think most of the people watched MMA for the first time that day and they think that was… I just saw two sloppy guys after the second round," dos Anjos said on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour.
