McGregor's head held high after Diaz defeat

Rather than waiting for the lightweight champ, McGregor agreed to a non-title showdown with Diaz, one of the sport's most entertaining fighters and an awfully good foil for McGregor's verbal jousting. The Irishman with a 15-fight winning streak seized that chance with both fists, winning the 145-pound title with a 13-second knockout of Jose Aldo in December. I think everybody saw the truth.

Nunes is 5-1 in the UFC, with her only loss coming to former title contender Cat Zingano back in 2014. "I don't want to do anything because it's more strategic". The goals for Holm going into this fight were going to be to control distance, use her reach to advantage, and tag Tate up with superior footwork.

Holm, who scored one of the biggest upsets in the brief history of UFC when she stopped Rousey in November, was heading for what at worst would have been a draw when she allowed Tate to take her down with less than 2 minutes left in the final round and finish her off with a rear naked choke.

Struggling to stay in the fight, McGregor took it to the mat, but it was a move that backfired in stunning fashion as he suffered more punishment from the heavy-hitting Diaz. He can take a shot and remain in there, remain in your face. Now there's Miesha. I hope someone else comes along.

"I look at Anthony Kiedis and say this might be the greatest guy to ever do this, ever", White said after a first round barrage from the Irishman. He said the featherweight champion deserves respect after fighting on such short notice after lightweight Rafael dos Anjos pulled out of their super fight. Tate's level change for the takedown was phenomenal and her coaches were quick to emphasize that she needed to do it again to win the fight.

"(McGregor) punches hard", Diaz said.

Holm fought desperately to get out, but the veteran wrestler sunk in a choke that she didn't let go until she was the champion.

"The biggest thing that hurts right now is my heart", Holm said. Sadyr Bahadurzada submitted Brandon Thatch in the third round with a lovely rear naked choke in his first fight back in the octagon in a little over two and a half years.

After Aldo got knocked out he asked for an immediate rematch. "And then you see in the second, you see he's starting to gas out, and he's starting to get exhausted".
