Is McGregor vs Diaz II the biggest fight to survive the hype ?

[Metallicalabran]

Is in the top 5 of the biggest fight in UFC history (maybe top 3), everyone expected a WAR, and was a WAR, rollercoaster of emotions, after round 3 looked like McGregor was done, completely gassed, and came back like the phoenix, inspiring.

What do you think?

There is a bigger fight in UFC that survived the hype and even surpassed it?

It was definitely worth the wait. Same can't be said for most hypefights.

It was actually better than the hype. Lets be real we all expected Conor to be subbed and he looked like he would get finished in the 3rd. Then the 4th round happened and it was like a miracle. Fucking amazing.

I didn't expect a war, nor did many others in all honesty. We got some good exchanges and a ton of clinch work, nothing to put it in the top 5 of the UFC.

It definitely delivered more than Fedor Murko.

Maybe imo

Yes, it also hugely outpaced the hype.
A lot of that success was thanks to the element of surprise. Who could've thought it would be a back and forth war.

Thats the kind of thing that Conor does....
The man is worth the money
