Nate Diaz has revealed what he thinks about Conor McGregor tapping out during their UFC 196 fight in Las Vegas.
The 30-year-old forced McGregor into submission in the second round on the same night Holly Holm also lost her women's bantamweight championship.
However, despite McGregor receiving some stick from the likes of Tyson Fury, Diaz has claimed his opponent doesn't deserve slack for tapping out.

Speaking to MMA Junkie, he said: "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 and she thought, 'I'm not quitting.'
"McGregor, he was fucking 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.
"It's a fight against the best fighters in the world; you've got to tap to that.

"You ain't getting out of it. You can tap out, or you can go to sleep. You tap out if you're caught. The thing is, that's what I think - don't get caught."
