Hype train well and truly derailed.
I think that's harsh - Conor stepped up 25lbs for this fight - one of the only fighters to even consider it, let alone do it.
Lets not forget he's still the 145lb champion.
Thought Tate looked superb - good gameplan - took her time and got the win.
Tough one for McGregor - Nate was always in a win win situation. He wins the fight - great, he looses and still no hassle for him as it's McGregor. (rumours he was paid $1 million for the fight and win bonus)
McGregor looked good in the 1st, handed out some punishment but going up 25lb, he looked slower than usual but in the end getting hit by a 170lb fighter is vastly different to a 145lb fighter and overall I think that took it's toll.
Nice and humble in defeat, pre fight stuff is the same from everyone to sell fights and PPV etc.
He'll be back fighting at 145/155lb. I still think it takes balls to step up 25lbs and take on anyone so can't fault him for that.
