Nate Diaz lost a really close decision to Conor McGregor. That’s not going to change. He lost. The judge’s scorecards read 48-47, 47-47 and 48-47. Conor knocked down Nate three times, Nate punched Conor at least seventy times more than Conor punched him. It was a close fight. As we know, Nate and Conor have huge fanbases, and there was a lot riding on this battle. Mostly pride. But there was more pride riding on this fight than most other fights that don’t have a belt on the line, so naturally, you can expect fans to react with some serious rage. But who knew the most serious post-fight fan outburst in MMA history would happen after UFC 202?
According to Missouri’s KZRG, Ulysses Liaina was arrested for unlawful use of a weapon. When he learned of Conor eeking out a majority decision, the 25-year-old Nate Diaz fan pulled out his Ruger 9mm, (possibly) started screaming, then unleashed fury in the form of 13 shots into the night sky.
Speaking with KZRG, Captain Bob Higginbotham explained that everything was okay beyond the overreaction.
“Witnesses and friends all said he just pointed it straight up in the air. And so he wasn’t aiming at anybody, it was apparently his method of venting.”
It probably went down exactly like this:
Looking back, the original Point Break might be foreshadowing the whole Diaz/McGregor feud. You can even hear Keanu scream out, “Diaz!” after he unloads his weapon into the clouds. Keanu gets it. Majority decisions suck and “Conor was running! 209!”
