I don't really see how anyone could give Nate round 2.  He got aggressive late and landed a solid flurry towards the end, but he got worked for the first 3 1/2 minutes of that round.  Hell, he got dropped twice, didn't he?
 
I thought 1 and 2 were definitely Conor.  3 and 5 were definitely Nate.  4 was tight, but I had Conor.
 
IMO, the only thing that was debatable was whether or not you give Nate a 10/8 for round 3.

McGregor definitely earned that win. He was much more precise throughout the fight and when he landed hits they were massive. Diaz landed a few, too, but seemed to be flailing around for most of the fight. I don't think it was as close as people are claiming. Diaz had his moments but McGregor had more.

Exactly what I was saying, everyone at my table was going for Diaz but they all thought he got round 2 because of the ending. I was scoring it for Connor since he knocked him down twice and controlled most of the round.

People giving Diaz round 2 off of a late wind are fucking high.

Honestly the best fight I've ever seen though. True fuckin dog fight. I'm still hype off this shit.
