I think the majority caught at least the highlights of Nate Diaz vs. Conor McGregor at UFC 202. It's already being called the Fight of the Year, for Christ's sake.

Although not one-sided, eventually McGregor won on a majority decision. Diaz, though, managed to impress and break records despite losing.

Diaz is now officially the all-time UFC leader in total strikes landed - 1926 to be exact. At UFC 202, he landed 252 strikes, surpassing Frankie Edgar and Michael Bisping. His brother, Nick Diaz is fourth at 1616 strikes.

Nate Diaz and Conor McGregor put on a show at UFC 202, in what many fans are already calling the Fight of the Year.

Diaz also became the most-awarded man after receiving his 15th post-fight bonus.
