The brash Irishman moved up two weight classes to prove a point and take on Nate Diaz in the main event of UFC 196 after his original opponent, lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos, had to bow out of their fight with a foot injury.

But Diaz was not to be taken lightly, and after an ill fated takedown attempt, Diaz batter the Irishman and coaxed a submission victory.
