On August 20th, 2016, Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz engaged in an all out war in what was a highly anticipated rematch.

The fight lived up to its billing to say the least, and even though fans have seen the two warriors battle it out inside the octagon twice now, their second encounter made everyone want to see one more in the future.

While nobody knows when that rematch will be as McGregor has made it clear he wants to box with Floyd Mayweather, we imagine it will happen.

Before it does, however, new behind-the-scenes footage of the fight was released by FOX Sports and the UFC, and it's epic to say the least.

 

The respect the two fighters had for each other at the end and the clear belief from each of them that they won the fight shows how close it was and why MMA is so incredible.

We hope when McGregor is done pursuing and fighting Floyd, he and Diaz lock horns again.
