WATCH: Conor McGregor delivers best possible response to Stockton Slap

Take that

Patrick McCarry

There’s always a chance you will miss a moment or two during a five-round war.

For instance, we didn’t realise Nate Diaz flipped Conor McGregor’s corner the finger in round three:

“F**k you and your game-plan,” he declared.

We didn’t initially catch that nervous look McGregor shot at his team when the 47-47 scoreline was read out from the second judge:

McGregor draw

It mattered not though as two judges gave McGregor the fight and revenge was his.

We also missed this absolute gem of a response [below] to Diaz’ Stockton Slap. In fairness to Diaz, he landed a few slaps to McGregor’s head during the fight but the Dubliner saw this one coming and sent it back with interest.

Stockton slap response

You might think that Diaz would keep again from throwing the slap but they kept coming.

Diaz landed a few slaps. McGregor landed the victory.
