Watching the highlights of this encounter on the internet will not do justice to this all-time classic fight. You need to watch the full 25-minute bout in order to fully enjoy this legendary battle.
#2 Nate Diaz vs Conor McGregor 1 (UFC 196)
The first fight between Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz was an epic event which made Diaz a star and also gave the Irishman the first loss of his UFC career.
Originally, the main event for UFC 196 was going to be a super fight between featherweight champion McGregor and lightweight champ Rafael dos Anjos. But days before the fight, dos Anjos pulled out due to an injury.
This gave the 'Stockton Slugger', who was coming off an impressive performance against Michael Johnson, a chance to fight McGregor. Diaz had called out the Irishman in his post-fight interview after his win over Johnson.
Stepping in on short notice, Diaz was not given much chance by the MMA pundits. In the first round, McGregor came out all guns blazing and hit Diaz with some heavy shots. But 'Mystic Mac' quickly gassed out in the second round against an always durable Diaz. The fight ended in a submission victory for the 'Stockton Slugger'.
The duo went on to fight again at UFC 202 and gave the fans a 25-minute war. But many people prefer their first encounter over the rematch due to the sheer shock of the end result.
#1 Robbie Lawler vs Rory MacDonald (UFC 189)
It is really hard to talk about this fight without getting goosebumps. In the co-main event of UFC 189, Robbie Lawler and Rory MacDonald put on a spectacular show, giving the fans a fight that will be talked about for years to come. 'Ruthless' won the battle via TKO.
The iconic staredown at the end of the fourth round is more than enough of a reason to watch the full fight on UFC Fight Pass.
