Nate Diaz beat Conor McGregor at UFC 196. It was a remarkable upset that left the MMA world talking. Conor McGregor had tried to defy the common narrative of MMA and jump two weight classes to take on a new challenge. What he ended up with was a lesson in slap boxing and a new found respect for the 209. But it wasn't an easy or clear fight. McGregor started strong, landing big shots, busting Nate up, before he started flagging and Nate started to rally. And all throughout Nate's corner was giving him a constant stream of encouragement and advice.
