Nate Diaz Explains Why Conor McGregor Had to Tap Out

– Nate Diaz recently spoke with mmajunkie.com, and explained why Conor McGregor had to tap out in their fight. Here are the highlights…

On Holly Holm Not Tapping: “If you’ve got to tap out, you’ve got to tap out. I think Holly, she thought she was maybe going to get out. She had already gotten out of one (choke earlier in the fight) and she thought, ‘I’m not quitting.’ McGregor, he was (expletive) done. All the way done. It’s all right. He had to tap out because there was no getting out of that. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with tapping out.”

On Conor McGregor Having to Tap: “It’s a fight against the best fighters in the world; you’ve got to tap to that (expletive),” Diaz said. “You ain’t getting out of it. You can tap out, or you can go to sleep. It’s (expletive) the same (expletive). You tap out if you’re caught. The thing is, that’s what I think, is don’t get caught.”
