Here is what Conor McGregor had to say:
“I don’t know. I was hitting… I was slipping and banging that left hand. A load of times, he came short as well. One stage, I caught him with a clean uppercut and he just was always there in me face. Pus**ed out, I did. Pus**ed out.”
“Notorious” would go on to earn a close decision victory over Diaz in their rematch, leaving many fans anxious for a trilogy rematch between the two mixed martial arts warriors.
