3. Conor and Nate pre- UFC 196
UFC 196 was one of the greatest events in MMA history. Not only did you have Conor vs. Nate I, but that was also the night that Miesha Tate choked out Holly Holm to win the women’s bantamweight championship. It was pretty historic.
Leading up to that PPV was entirely “the Conor McGregor Show” as he just continued the worldwide media blitz he had been on leading up to his fight with Aldo.
Raphael Dos Anjos pulled out short notice, and Nate Diaz won the “red panty” lottery, which set the stage for this epic pre-fight press conference, where for the first time ever an opponent is able to get underneath Conor’s skin.
