Conor McGregor entered the record books, once again, at UFC 205 becoming the first fighter in the promotions illustrious history to hold two titles in two divisions at the same time. And the fighter who he has become synonymous with has shared his thoughts on the triumph as well as a potential trilogy bout.
The Irishman put on a artistic display of violence over the weekend in New York eventually putting the rugged veteran away in the second round landing his patented left-hand almost at will.
And in attendance to witness what transpired, was old foe Nate Diaz. But it wasn't easy. The UFC didn't offer Diaz with any tickets though a friend who had some plush seats offered him a place within the box.

"The UFC, didn't want to give me tickets to this fight. They wanted to like, kinda keep me out the mix. I think it's just to put him on more of a pedestal." He told ESPN.

Jokingly adding; "I think they gave Nick Jonas my seat." Sporting a 1-1 record against the dual-weight UFC champion, the Stockton-fighter wasn't surprised on how the fight went while giving McGregor his props on the victory.

"I thought the fight would go exactly how it went. Congratulations to Conor, he did a great job." What's more, Diaz remained hellbent on a third encounter; "Of course, if I wanna do anything that I wanted, it's the third fight."
"Me and him though, what happened in the last couple of fight. I don't remember any of the 'Greatest of all time' getting worked over, like, last two fights."
