Conor McGregor got even with Nate Diaz at UFC 202 with a majority decision in the fight of the year in Las Vegas on Saturday night.

McGregor and Diaz went the full five rounds in a bloody war where neither fighter was willing to let up. McGregor dominated early, but, like in the first meeting, Diaz continued to charge forward and hurt McGregor late in the second round and dominated the third round.

Neither fighter could do enough damage to finish their opponent and in the end, it was McGregor's early onslaught and the second wind he caught for the fourth round that made the difference.

The fight is an instant classic, and Twitter lit up with fans and celebrities freaking out over how incredible the fight was.

McGregor gave UFC everything it could have asked for: from an audacious pre-fight presser to a remarkable fight to set up another with Diaz.
