UFC 196 Highlight Video: Watch Nate Diaz Shock Conor McGregor
Conor McGregor was taking Nate Diaz to the woodshed early, busting him up with a series of punches and kicks and cutting the Stockton fighter badly over his right eye.
Diaz was rocked a few times in the first and the domination continued into the second and it seemed like the popular brawler was going to get stopped. But when Diaz drilled the Irishman with a sizzling left to the jaw, the tides were turned. The two talked trash and slugged it out and when McGregor missed a takedown attempt, Diaz used his sensational jiu-jitsu and applied a slick rear-naked choke, forcing the polarizing striker to tap out.
The official time of the submission came at 4:12 of the second round, capping off a UFC 196 packed with upsets.
