A HUGE comeback win for Conor. He was getting Diego-manhandled, which is not a position you wanna be in. But I think Diego took a breath somewhere in there, and Conor came back crazy-strong, got a dominant ground position and never let up the GnP, bringing about the finish.
Conor McGregor looks very relaxed.
