UFC 196: McGregor vs Diaz rating, recap and analysis

Not a common fight, not at all, those two really hate each other, they are both trash talkers and very good boxers, also this has been the debut of the Irish fighter in the Welterweight ( 77 KG ).
The first round saw both fighters exchange hard punches and Diaz got cut over his right eye but he has been able to answer back every punch he received. The second round has been literally a brutal brawl where Diaz is one of the best in the world due to his resistance to receive hard hits don't go down and also be able to counterattack effectively, it forced McGregor to takedown his rival who is superior on the ground due to his brazilian jujitsu and who put the Irish fighter in a  rear necker choke that forced the featherweight champion to tap out.
This has been the first loss in UFC for the Notorious, yes lots of you will think about the different category of weight as the main motivation of his loss but i think his strategy to accept a brawl with Diaz has been an huge mistake and also he has been outplayed on the ground too easly in my opinion, he has to work hard on grappling even if his striking is an elite one, on the other side Diaz after Johnson has defeated even a champion like McGregor and in my opinion he deserves a title shot again Dos Anjos.
