UFC featherweight Conor McGregor beat Nate Diaz by majority decision to avenge his UFC 196 defeat.

The Irishman was shocked by Californian Diaz's second-round rear-naked choke in their welterweight bout in March, and ever since he has sworn revenge, with the rivals resorting to throwing water bottles at each other during a pre-fight press conference in Las Vegas this week.

McGregor made sure he was only throwing punches and kicks when the pair reunited in the Octagon on Saturday night and as both men remained standing following five hard-fought, bloody rounds, the judges had the final say, scoring the bout 48-47 47-47 48-47 in the Dublin fighter's favour.

After a defensive first round, McGregor dropped Diaz with a kick and soon had him back on the canvas with a big shot. The American, supported by the Las Vegas crowd, responded with a left-handed jab in the third, taunting McGregor before moving into a clinch.

Blood began to flow from Diaz's right eye during the fourth round as McGregor locked him against the fence, with the Irishman countering well in the fifth as his opponent looked for a double leg takedown that might swing the scores in his favour.
