Conor McGregor had a helluva night last night at UFC 202 against Nate Diaz, beating out his foe by a majority decision after five grueling rounds. And how did the Irishman decide to end his night? Why, decked out in a three-piece suit, waving an Irish flag, letting the Vegas nightclub Intrigue celebrate him with a drink in his hand.The bout was a highly-billed rematch of UFC 196, where Diaz submitted McGregor in the second round after the Irishman jumped up two weight classes. There was all kinds of hype around this one—with McGregor saying before the fight that he'd knock Diaz out within two rounds—but McGregor took the majority decision in the long run.That doesn't mean that McGregor didn't get some incredible hits in, though:

McGregor finished the night by calling for a trilogy, and Diaz agreed, insisting that he won't fight again until the rematch takes place. Regardless of what happens, I think both of them earned a nice, stiff drink or five.#ThankYou #NateDiaz & #ConorMcGregor for giving us fans EVERYTHING you had!!!!! #UFC202 https://t.co/i42Ffwhbf1
