I mean..

After getting dismantled by 10 day notice Nate...

After being owned in trashtalking..

After "retiring"...

Now he gets a very controversial majority decision, in wich he gassed badly in rd2 and literally ran away from Nate...

Has he redeeemed himself? Or this looks more like "Nate wants a third big payday"?

Being able to gut out the end of the 2nd round to the 4th round was enough to redeem himself.
 
He's laughing all the way to the bank.

It wasn't controversial at all, unless you are incapable of scoring a fight objectively.
 
Good question. However most of his fans don't care about the fight itself. As long the result is positive, they will accept it regardless of how ugly it is.

Conor did prove that :

- He can keep up with Nate range and size
- He can beat a full camp Nate

However, he didn't prove that :

- He has cardio for 5 rounds, same goes to Nate. ( Conor running around is sucks, but Nate could go and chase him, but he is exhausted )
- He can overcome adversity ( Running around isn't overcome, that's is running away)

Even Conor himself know that not able to finish Nate within 5 rounds can't be consider as a true success, but he do happy with a razor thin decision.
 
in about the most shallow way possible, yeah. They're 1-1, true, but Conor dumped his life and soul into this training camp, spent 300,000 dollars, flew around the world, isolated himself, did no media, and still got his ass beat and came away with an incredibly narrow decision that could easily have gone to nate.

Nate got off the couch last time and strangled conor to death. Did Conor even the score? sure. did he "right the wrongs?" sure. But to say that these two wins are of equal quality are insane.

Conor McGregor showed up the best he ever has, by far, and was part of one of the best fights of all time. He still got his ass beat.
 
Even though i thought Nate won 3 rounds i dont think it was a robbery. However nobody can honestly look at those 2 fights and say Connor is the better fighter. Even if you believe Connor won the second fight you cannot get away from the fact that if that fight had gone on Diaz would have ended it eventually
 
I always thought a decision win doesn't really even a finish loss. Technically it does, but really it doesn't.

this is true. in two days nobody will remember that Conor won the narrowest decision possible, it's just that he won, so he proved he was better than Nate. It helps when your fanbase is the majority.
 
A win avenges a loss. It's as simple as that.
 
Controversial how?? Majority of people think Conor won, every media outlet had Conor winning, only ones who think Diaz won are his teammates and Conor haters/dumb mma fans

It wasn't a unanimous decision, some controversy is warranted.

To asnwer the TS: No, he didn't avenge his loss. The fight needed to be one-sided for Conor to get his revenge, and he barely got a decision.

How did he get his ass beat? Conor wasn't the one knocked on his ass three times.
 
I mean he won. He did his schtick on the mic, but you can tell he wasn't satisfied with the results. He knows he has work to do, and like anyone else, I'm sure he wanted the KO. Minus the little McMahon walk at the beginning, Conor was all business that night. He wasn't running his mouth or nootin.

It's only controversial to peanut brained losers. Yeah, Conor ran away so it must have been the Ref who turned Nat's face into fresh roadkill.

A majority decision is NOT the narrowest decision. And yes, beating someone does in fact prove that you are better than they are.

The only controversy is the idiot judge that gave nate a 10-8 3rd round.
