UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz faced each other for a second time at UFC 202 in a match that lived up to all the hype.
Conor executed his game plan with perfection, staying away and not getting involved in an ‘all out brawl’ with the naturally bigger man. Conor was able to ‘hit and run’ beating Nate Diaz on points via a unanimous decision.

Following the fight, we have seen much controversy, including the new battle between Team Diaz and Team McGregor. Conor McGregor’s Brazilian jiu-jitsu coach Dillon Danis has been responding to Nate Diaz following Nate’s press conference statements of how Danis is on his ‘hit list,’ and Nate saying: “I’m going to get that motherf***er.”
Dillon Danis and Nate Diaz going head to head?
Danis said that he is ready to fight should Nate want to settle their differences: “I don’t know what that means, I’m on his hit list, but if he wants to do MMA, I’ll fight him in MMA if he wants. He can do a CM Punk with me and bring me into the UFC. He can be my first fight. I’ll fight him in a couple months, whatever he wants to do,” Danis said to MMA Fighting.

Now, even more controversy, MMA Junkie has reported that the Nevada State Athletic Commission’s report of the medical suspensions has Conor’s name on it. It states that Conor could be suspended until well into next year should he not be cleared by an orthopedic doctor.
