night from 5 to 6 March fans of mixed martial arts have been waiting with particular fury. Initially, the main event of UFC 196 pm were converging restless featherweight champion Conor McGregor victor and light weight category – Rafael dos Anjos. But at the last moment a second was injured, and to save the event in Las Vegas has been called Nate Diaz – probably the only person on the planet, which is frankly a drum antics Irishman

For me, once there was little intrigue before the fight McGregor – Dos Años. Climb one weight category for Conor trifling matter, and I was waiting for this night only because he wanted the first ever UFC champion at two weights. But when to replace the injured Rafael Nate Diaz came, I was elated.
With all due respect to the Dos Años, promotion of the fight on his shoulders pulled it McGregor. In principle, as always, and he was no stranger, but what is happening it was too readable. And as soon as the matter involved Nate Irishman even slightly receded into the background. Because what’s what, and charisma and the ability to make the show Diaz will handicap virtually anyone. Obscene gestures and swearing straight from the center of the octagon – a small part, due to what the American raises interest in MMA in general, and to the UFC in particular. And he does it from the heart, because it wants to. He’s a real bastard of mixed martial arts.
The bastards as there are two types. Some – glamorous and pretentious. Others – tight frostbite, which grew circumstances, rather than money. Last night clash between just these two guys are opposites. McGregor cleverly spins himself and fights, earn money on this record and what really soul twist: making millionaires of its rivals. It’s one of those things where Conor rights. Diaz also grew up in Stockton, lifelong responsible for his words in various ways, and I’m not even sure that it is always legally
The feature that unites these guys:. They are both ready to jump into the cage with anyone and whenever. But the rise in two weight classes, objectively, it was a little hasty gamble by McGregor. Yes, he did not have to drive so much weight, as he usually did before the fighting, but to themselves also need to get used to this state. Plus, the heaviest in comparison with all your career in the organization of a rival – the problem is clearly not easy. And raw data rates were on the side of Diaz: 183 cm against 175. The scope of hands, by which Conor dominated the featherweight champion, also let the Irishman: 193 cm and 188 – the difference is palpable
However, in the first round. it was not noticeable. Champion went to battle with a smile and his usual composure, sending kisses all over Las Vegas. And quietly began to break up Nate. As always dangerous were left crosses that McGregor has destroyed more than one American dream. Gradually face Diaz turned into a bloody mess, and even takedowns UFC star has not delivered any problems.
But few took into account that the Americans, in fact, not punched. Of the 10 lesions had only one thing – a knockout one – surrender. In all other cases, he endured, and the prerequisites in order to stop it was to do not match with Conor. In fact, from Nate needed only correct translation to the ground, where he is due to school Jiu-Jitsu would look clearly preferable McGregor, who in this respect is not a store of knowledge.
Who would have thought that in second round to translate the case for flooring octagon try Conor! Just to the point that Diaz did not leave a choice. In one of the exchanges Irishman missed a powerful punch and a little “floated”. He routinely dropped his hands to indicate that everything is all right, but then it was already clear: the game ended. And an experienced gangster like Nate sees an opponent has a weakness in the embryo stage, when it is only in the form of thoughts. And Diaz began to interrupt McGregor, who needed to do nothing how to knit a fight with the help of the struggle. This is Nate, and it was necessary. He gladly allowed the champion to go in feet, after made it out on the earth was in the mount, for the kind of beat, and waited for the moment when Conor give back. A few seconds, and in UFC history had a second loud apset the past six months: the Irishman tapped and conceded defeat
«I’m not surprised, assholes” – wiping the blood from his face laconically said Diaz after the fight.. It is – once again stuck out and change the course of battle. McGregor in the UFC this do not have to. That’s because the bastards come in two types. And frostbitten genuinely do not like pathos only because those also considered for the bastards.
And, by the way, almost ended the fight, the soldiers warmly embraced and greeted each other. Because, like it or not, these two guys – almost from the same cloth, just with different fillings. Not for nothing because the UFC to fork over fees for them in the form of the record: half a million dollars for two. And 2 of this sum will go to the Irishman. Well, what do you want: glamorous because nobody canceled
