Welcome to your SECOND weekly dose of Three Amigos Podcast fun. This episode is our traditional partnering with Severe MMA's Sean Sheehan (our official Irish Three Amigos correspondent and all around awesome human) to dissect and analyze all facets of the Conor McGregor vs. Nate Diaz fight.
We covered a variety of topics that included:

- If "Conormania" is still as strong in Ireland as it was last year

- Factors at play during the fight (size, mental aspect, striking, ground game)
- Who wins the striking battle and the keys to it
- Conor's underrated ground work
- Predictions for the fight
- The aftermath for each fighter in case of a win or loss
