Wow. Conor McGregor has been defeated for the first time in his UFC career by Nate Diaz. McGregor's gamble at fighting at welterweight has backfired against an adamantine Diaz. Disbelief, thy name is a second round stoppage for Conor McGregor:
Didn't see that one coming....

Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better.
Congrats to Nate and his team on a great win.— Coach Kavanagh (@John_Kavanagh) March 6, 2016

it appears fighting considerably bigger men cancels out certain law of attraction based advantages

Great words from mcgregor there. Humble in victory and defeat. Spoken like a true champ.

That was some row. Going up in weight obviously makes a big difference. Diaz is one tough yoke. McGregor to be fair was v. humble in defeat.

I want to jump into the ring and give conor mcgregor a big hug, and tell him not to define himself by his achievements or losses.

Still a national hero @TheNotoriousMMA stand tall together in victory or defeat. #UFC196

Conor took a chance moving up weight and it didn't work out, he's still the featherweight champion! It's all a learning curve. #UFC196
