Nate Diaz believes Floyd Mayweather showed the blueprint to beat Conor McGregor by letting him "gas" out.
McGregor has fought Diaz twice during his UFC career which both came in 2016 where he was first defeated by the Stockton native, before avenging the defeat later that year. The Irishman then opted to accept a boxing clash with ring legend Floyd Mayweather in the following year which became the second highest-selling pay-per-view in combat sports history.
Despite starting brightly, McGregor was simply outclassed by Mayweather who put his foot on the accelerator to close the show in the tenth round. Diaz believes his former two-time rival was helped to skip the line by fighting Mayweather before he suffered another defeat to Khabib Nurmagomedov in 2018.
