    I think think the longer the fight the better off it is for Nate. I think if Conor can do to Nate through 2 rounds, what he did in the 1st he can probably get him out of there. I dunno if Nate can take 2 rounds of that type of punishment, one yea but probably not 2. I don't really expect Conor to light Nate up like he did in the 1st at any point though.

    If Conor can land those heavy lefts and stay on the counter, he could take him out.

    I don't really watch or care about UFC, but I'm really hyped for this fight. It's almost like a real life storyline now. It's definitely got entertainment in it.

    yeah Diaz is gonna break him down again imo.

    Too big, too durable. McGregor just isnt built for this weight. He's biting off more than he can chew. Diaz can beat mcgregor in the stand up, hes tough enough to take Mcgregor's striking.. of course diaz will get busted up again, but im confident that mcgregor will get worn out and diaz will also dominate the ground. The physicality just makes this really hard for mcgregor to win. I feel like Diaz has a lot of technical advantages, plus he's bigger and stronger. Diaz is f---ing with McGregor's head now.

    in a way this sucks because ive been watchin conor forever, n been a diaz fan forever...

    i love them both and i want whats best for both of them, both financially and for their careers.

    conor takes this fight in my eyes and it goes rubber match best of 3, and then whoever wins, wins and they both make bank, earn tons of respect, and add to their legacy with what can only expect is going to down in history as one of the best mma trilogies in a while..


    BUT, nate wins, it hurts conor bad here, not in the way losing in his own weight class and losing his title would, but more so we know then if he cant fight one of the best up at that weight, he found his sweetspot and because of his body composition he needs to stay in the 145-155 area..

    hyped for this one boys

    edit: grammar

    I don't feel the need to quote when you get notifications every time somebody posts in here. Easy though i'm just f---ing with you.

    In other words, they don't trust putting McGregor and Diaz together again after their fight

    Surprised they didn't just wait until after the fight to announce that. Main Event loser doesn't attend probably 75% of the time, due to being sent to the hospital for one thing or another.

    It could potentially be because they don't want questions about unionising because the matter is recent and this would have been a huge press conference. I really hope that's not why tho. New owners' first move is s---.
