Nate Diaz crashes Conor McGregor's UFC 205 after party (Video)


Following the historic UFC 205 card in New York City, Nate Diaz crashed longtime rival Conor McGregor’s after party.
Nate Diaz is serious about getting that third fight with Conor McGregor.
So serious, in fact, he resorted to crashing McGregor’s UFC 205 victory party at the Marquee in New York City on Saturday night.
In the video, captured by TMZ cameras on site, Diaz is swarmed by fans asking who he wanted to fight next. In usual Diaz fashion, he wanted no part of it as he walked through the crowd without answering questions.
Diaz (20-11) defeated McGregor in their initial contest at UFC 196 in March after stepping in to replace Rafael dos Anjos on 11 days notice. Almost immediately, the rematch was booked
This time, however, McGregor walked with a majority decision win after 25 minutes of hard-fought action at UFC 202, avenging his initial loss.
So with the score even at 1-1, both fans and pundits expected a third fight would be announced in the coming months. But instead, UFC officials announced McGregor would be challenging Eddie Alvarez for the lightweight belt at UFC 205, thus putting the rubber match on hold for the foreseeable future.
McGregor (21-3) would eventually make history as he claimed his second UFC title after knocking out Alvarez halfway through the second round of their main event fight on Saturday.
Throughout the fight, the Irishman seemed to toy with the Philadelphia native, scoring multiple knockouts throughout the opening frame. Whenever Alvarez attempted to close the gap, McGregor continuously connected with a snapping straight left.
Picking up right where he left off in the second round, McGregor even put his hands behind his back in hopes of goading Alvarez into exchanging with him. After more powerful shots, McGregor finished off with a four punch combo at the 3:04 mark of Round 2.
This marked McGregor’s 18th career knockout victory, and seventh under the UFC banner, while also earning him his eighth post-fight bonus.
Following his victory, McGregor announced he planned on taking time off from competition due to the fact his longtime girlfriend, Dee Delvin, was expecting their first child.
