Conor McGregor reflected on one of his most famous victories this morning while smoking a "big blunt" and watching Amanda Nunes defeat Julianna Pena at UFC 277.
The similarities, McGregor felt, were striking between his series of fights with Nate Diaz in 2016 and Nunes' recent pair of bouts with Pena for the bantamweight title. At the time when both were stepping into their respective fights, he and Nunes were heavy favourites to dispatch of Diaz and Pena.
But the upsets arrived in the second round of both bouts after dominant opening sessions for the favourites. And McGregor even noted that they were both rear naked chokes, leading he and Nunes to switch things up in their camps and reassess before coming for dominant decision victories in the rematches.
