    Yea before the Johnson fight everyone counted him out, myself included. He proved a lot in that one and in this one as well.

    Ehh i would say the majority of the divisions are more 5-6 deep, before a significant drop off. Diaz loses to Khabib and RDA for sure, after that i dont love him against Alvarez(especially not in a 5 round fight) and now Pettis looks like s---. Maybe Tony Ferguson would beat him too, but theres not a lot of guys out there that are better then him.

    That Holm-Tate fight was crazy. Good for Meisha....finally heard her ROOOOOOOOOOAR!

    d--- Conor.... he was a little over aggressive and active in it. He was doing great until Nate caught him with a 1 2 that kind of seemed to rock him. Then Nate did his peppering shots and high volume. Conor had no match for that. You know Conor's hurting when he tries to go for a take down. Crazy ending. My friend turned and punched me he was pumped Conor lost hahaha.

    I am curious like others said of GSP being there. He could have just been spectating but I also was going to assume UFC 200 would be McGregor Vs GSP...it's not that far fetched, but will never happen now lol.

    The comment about short notice and weight would have to be used in defeat. Helps fighters to hold some dignity and not question their own skills. This should make Conor better going forward. Great for Diaz to hit that big payday.

    Anyone else get from Nate's post fight interviews, that he thinks hes gonna be given McGregor money now?

    Hope the UFC gives him a significant bump but I have a feeling we're gonna see some more contract disputes and another layoff from Nate.

    Dana seems to be interested in Lawler vs Nate Diaz for the Welterweight title now

    Dana hates nate diaz.
    Nate talks down on the organization alot i doubt dana expected nate to have a chance. I legitimately believe he wanted nate as a filler win for conor and the only one dumb enough to take that fight on short notice

    Does it sound bad I'd rather see Nate Vs. Robbie than Tyron Vs. Robbie? I feel bad for Tyron Woodley but s--- son... We in 2016, the generation has shifted to the ADHD of WHATS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW!? Even Nate is leap frogging Stephen Thompson's impressive win of Hendricks (Although Thompson does fight Red King Arie whatever he calls himself now next).

    I noticed that. He'll definitely be making more than 20/20, and that's all that really matters. Imo, Nate should be fighting Pettis or Woodley.

    Kinda happy he lost tbh. No interest in UFC but the way lots of people in Ireland just jump on the bandwagon & staying up for fights when having no interest is kinda sad imo.

    I like McGregor but its like a public holiday here when he fights which is a little weird imo. Just an excuse for people to get pissed. Juts think all the attention he is getting here is a bit ott.

    He beat Jose Aldo in 13 seconds, if you're not an MMA guy you may not know what that means. What he was doing/did was historic and deserved all the attention it got.
