Conor did not knock out Nate.
In fact Conor McRanaway.
But Connor stated that he's priority is not really a rematch with Aldo. He says the decision win Aldo got over Frankie Edgar leaves much to be desired and he doesn't seem interested at all to fighting someone whom he knocked out in just seconds. I think what he is saying is there's not much of a challenge for him with Aldo and the money doesn't seem too attractive, either. If I were him, I'd just wait a little while and just let his injured body heal and see what's the most lucrative fight he could squeeze from the available opponents.
Conor McGregor wants another fight with Nate Diaz because that's where the money is. McGregor Vs Aldo 2 is not an exciting fight to watch after seeing Jose Aldo drop in less than 15 seconds, whats Aldo need to prove after that? Lucky punch? If Aldo will again fight McGregor thats because dana White or UFC wants it to happen or McGregor needs to defend his title but money wise I dont so. I read somewhere that tickets for McGregor vs Diaz 2 did not sell very well that they have to drop the price for it to be sold. 
A better option for McGregor is to forget a third match vs Diaz for now. He should defend his FW belt vs Aldo, then go after the LW belt vs Alvarez making him a champ in two divisions and thereby increasing his stock. Then make McGregor vs Diaz 3 happen for the LW championship.

I think .Nick robbed himself. He did not properly engage one of the greatest champions in this history of the sport. He played around taunting, took a bulk of the shots and even in the final round showed no real desire to win. Anderson Silva stayed patient, controlled the pace of the match and landed some terrific blows. Not even close for Diaz.

there;s only two options to choose from, defend his belt against Jose Aldo or trilogy against Diaz.
Thats not true at all. he could vacate the belt at 145 and take a run at 155. So there are 3 real options here.
I was reading that Aldo will get the belt by default if conor
doesn't go back to 145 to defend his title.
Would much rather see conor and nate at 155.

They are already planning the 3rd fight? I thought that Dana White said Conor has to defend his title against Aldo.
Also I lost my bet. I thought Nate was going to win and knock out Conor at the 3rd round. That was a close fight.

conor said if they do a 3rd one it will be on his terms and at 155 and i think dana white wants to let suspense build for a year or 2 and
make conor go back down to 145 to fight a couple times first. It adds to the intrigue if they wait a year or 2 then it will be a huge pay
day
Yeah delaying the 3rd fight would really create excitement. I saw that if Conor doesn't fight Aldo they might strip the belt off him.
That'd be stupid giving the belt to Aldo, making him Champion of that division by default. Conor KO'd him in 13 seconds.
Better to defend his belt against Jose Aldo after the match a trilogy with Nate Diaz. Conor McGregor said he "doesn't sound interested in a rematch with Jose Aldo Junior and says there may be something in the works outside the UFC", in my opinion Aldo deserves a rematch. I don't know what is the next move for his career there;s only two options to choose from, defend his belt against Jose Aldo or trilogy against Diaz.
Best series so far I've watched on UFC, too much planking on the ground in the very fist round, hahaha. Guys, who is ready for UFC 203?
Oh yeah, Conor takes revenge by majority decision. I knew he'd win last night, it seems like there will be a 3rd fight, Conor has offered it at 155 lbs.
Conor looks very tired on the 3rd round but the face of Diaz took a lot of beating. I commend Conor for his abilty to stay up althroughout the 5 rounds except for the last 10 seconds where Diaz finaly take him down. There were times you can see how Conor backpedaled and try to avoid being cornered in the cage. But over all the fight was intense, I am literaly standing all throughout the fight and did not tooo any rest room break. This fight is for the history books of UFC.

Indeed a really tied battle , McGregor comeback stronger in the 4th round , what a tough man , all the bullshit he said is worthy. For the first time ever , McGregor have fought more than 3 round , the longest match in his MMA career. The most incredible fight i ever seen in my life , that's why this fight worth many money. So much drama , it's like watching a movie. Also I lost my bet. I thought Nate was going to win and knock out Conor at the 3rd round. That was a close fight.

Mcgregor was gasping for air after the second and third round, and he came back and won the 4th round, and i scored the 5th round to Diaz, but as expected Nate does want a rubber match
score card Mcgregor won the first and fourth round
Nate won second third and fifth round , but the judges gave it a unanimous decision to Mcgregor
We will now see a rubber match at a later time for sure
I dont think Conor expects that decision to go to him, watching the match round after round, Conor gets the 1st round then after that fight gets ridiculous as you can see Conor turning his back on Nate as he doesnt want to be taken down. Nate even have the chance to give his middle finger to Conor but I guess UFC wants to make this a trilogy giving the 2nd match to Conor.
Looking forward for that Johnson vs Cormier fight if UFC will give to the fight fans.

Close to $10k on McGregor - i was going to double it but DirectBet wouldn't take the bet https://www.directbet.eu/BetStatus.cshtml?BetID=0x5b5265479218d88abb57e4930876a73a3be5f9be

Conor doesnt want to go down with Diaz, everytime Diaz is Down Conor will not make any attempt to follow up. Conor loses his gas on 2nd round. 5th round thats the time Diaz was able to take hi! Down on the final seconds. Conor win via Decision.
Not happy with the decision but respect to both fighters.
Pretty lame to see Diaz couldn't take it out last round Not happy with the decision but respect to both fighters.
