Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz continue to break records. The two welterweight rivals became the first pair of headliners in UFC history to both cash seven-figure purses on Saturday, with McGregor earning a UFC record $3 million purse and Diaz a $2 million purse for their much-anticipated rematch at UFC 202, according to figures released to MMA Fighting by the Nevada Athletic Commission.
In an all-time classic fight, McGregor avenged his UFC 196 loss to Diaz by defeating the veteran Diaz via grueling majority decision, setting up a rubber match that has the potential to be the biggest fight in the organization's history.
