UFC 196 Mcgregor Vs Diaz & Holm Vs Tate Reaction

Wow....what an incredible night for jiu jitsu! Congrats to both Diaz and Tate for pulling off rear naked chokes to end the fights! And uh....obviously, spoilers. Although you probably just spoiled yourself reading that....why on earth would you look up a "reaction" when you don't want to be spoiled?

Anyways

While my heart was in Mcgregor, mostly because I thought that him winning would be interesting for the UFC, I did slowly get drawn to the will of Diaz. He was getting hit...HARD. It's like they put two hands inside of connors left arm and just hammered Diaz face in. I mean, damn that guy has got a massive jaw. For the first round, i really though Diaz was going to lose, I mean his face was really messed up and wasn't really landing many shots....until the second round. (there was a moment when I did think the capoeria kick would kick him in the face lol then people might rejoice and band together and assume connor mcgregor didn't even box and just soley used capoeria ...idiots)

The second round, Diaz pulled off a miracle. After losing pretty badly, he managed to clip Mcgregor with a two punch combination....and the rest is history. Quickly after he started getting him more and more. Eventually, out of desperation, Mcgregor pulled what appeared to be a somewhat decent takedown, and moved to side control but then his arm was caught in what appeared to be a darse choke for a moment, but then Diaz mounted him, did some ground and pound and then sinked in a rear naked choke...and boy did connor tap so fast! 

I still have much respect for Connor and what he has done for the sport. It was a great night for fights, and a rematch would be sick. 

While I could talk about the Holm and Tate fight, they basically showcased that good jiu jitsu can shut down any striker. As the Gracies did in the past. 

Have a Great Day!
