We see Anthony Johnson being promised a title shot by UFC Light Heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier before the focus turns to McGregor-Diaz II.
At the end of their five rounds of pure grit, guts and, for McGregor, glory, both men think they have done enough. Gilbert Melendez tells Nate Diaz he has three rounds in the bag. McGregor believes he has won four but John Kavanagh, his coach, says 'three of five'.
Before McGregor's hand is raised in victory, he embraces Diaz:
"Great fight brother. Great f**king fight. You're a Mexican warrior. You're a little Mexican warrior brother."
The respect between both men is clear to see. For a few minutes at least, the bad blood of the past six months is put to one side.
Diaz reflects on a tough loss in his dressing room while McGregor calls out the doubters, backstage, before stopping for some congratulations from rapper Kanye West.
