Both homies neglected their fear. Both homies came with their ninja shit. But only one ninja became the real motherfuckin’ ninja and that’s Nate Diaz.
This was a huge test for Conor McGregor even though there was no a title on the line. McGregor jumped up two weight classes to fight Nate Diaz. He ate nothing but filet mignon, drank steak smoothies and had the same number of breakfasts that Hobbits have and clearly felt great.
But Nate Diaz proved he’s the real deal. McGregor messed Diaz up early and took the 1st round. Later Diaz poured it on, both men got wobbly, but when it went to the ground in Round 2, McGregor got caught in in a choke and the rest is history.
Both fighters were humble in victory and defeat.
Real ninja shit. Real respect shit. Incredible.
