Mcgregor did pretty much as I expected and indeed what I said here that he would. Cut off the Nates one dimensional movement with leg kicks. Fought smart and beat up a guy who outweighed him on the night by about 15 pounds. On the occasions when he was in trouble he stayed calm and weathered the storm to regain momentum. We saw a whole new dimension to his game. The loss in the first contest has been the making of him.

Well done to both men. A well deserved fortune in disclosed payments and we can only speculate at PPV payouts.

Where to from here?

Nate surely has these two fights (and Conor) to thank for his new found marketability and he can afford to wait 18-24 months for Diaz/McGregor 3 at LW. Diaz is too wooden and too one dimensional in his offence so It will be a ferocious beating for him now that McGregor has his number but it will be a huge payday that he can retire on.

McGregor WILL unify the FW title in another astronomical payday and possibly go after the LW title as well. If you're Jose Aldo right now, you gotta be scared after seeing what a machine McGregor is and the amount of punishment he can take from a much bigger man. No way Aldo can knock McGregor out nor can he last five rounds without being decapitated.

On a side note: well done also to the Russian Hammer Artem Lobov who ensured team SBG(Ireland) got a clean sweep of victories against the 209 crew by the one sided destruction of Chris Avila on the FS1 card. A fantastic night for the team and for the country of Ireland.

The King is back.
