How Twitter reacted to McGregor’s rematch with Diaz

Conor McGregor exacted revenger on Nate Diaz in the pair’s rematch at UFC202 in Las Vegas.

The Irishman took the contest on judges’ decision to give the pair a 1-1 head-to-head record and the chance at a show stopping third-and-final bout.

That’s not to say that their second fight wasn’t enthralling though, as both men traded heavy blows throughout in an even contested.

Here’s the best of Twitter’s reaction to the event:

The pre-fight weigh in was as fiery as ever

But if there’s going to be a rematch, it’s going to have to be at a lower weight

McGregor: I wanna get my abs back, I have no abs at 170. I’m going to go back down in weight. When I fight again, it’ll be at 155.
