If he trolls Diaz he will smack him there and then.its a much easier fight for Connor.nate is a 1 dimensional stiker with no wrestling so mcgregor will decide where the fight happens. just for the record though no one is scared to fight the helmet either it's the biggest purse of your entire career.

Nate has some pretty slick boxing, although no where near the level of his brother he could cause Conor a few issues. Oh, and there is no chance that Conor will want to go to the ground, Nate has some of the best BJJ in the UFC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShanksRFC 3,869 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 He does have decent Judo takedowns and that is probably the only way he will get Conor on the deck. If he does get Conor on the deck he could be in big trouble. Diaz will be there to be hit though but he only has been knocked out once and that was from a big head kick. The presser starts at 9pm for anyone interested. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogzy 31,195 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Diaz almost certainly won't go down with a few hits. If he does, then I will have to give Connor more credit than I currently do. Anderson Silva is one of many that have failed to knock Diaz out. He isn't the silkiest of fighters, but if it becomes a brawl, then he might just have enough to take CM out. I am going to predict a CM win in the 2nd. I think it's just too quick of a notice for Diaz to get a decent training camp in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's just too quick of a notice for Diaz to get a decent training camp in. I think you're getting mixed up with Nick. He fought Silva. Nate has a decent chin as well but is susceptible to leg kicks. The Diaz bros are always in shape so hopefully the short notice won't be as much of an issue as it could be for others.

Bighouse 1,012 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Diaz is deceptively strong. You have to wonder if McGregor has trained to cope with a down syndrome KingKaiJohansen, ShanksRFC and bombaybadboy08 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShanksRFC 3,869 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Diaz did look a good bit bigger in the staredown. Fuck noes what kind of shape he will be in though at the weigh in. As its at 170, it might no be the best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinnymate1690 624 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 quigg is a bit of strange character , still lives with his mum despite being engaged to a bird for 3 years, doesn't seem to have a life outside boxing and said himself its everything to him. I've said Frampton from the start but the more i watch the more i'm leaning towards quigg. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's so close that it could come down to who is most comfortable with the weight , both are quite big guys at 8" 10 lbs . Probably would have been a better fight 12-18 months ago , but fully understand the reasons for waiting . Would be interesting to know how much the two of them have to shed in weight , Frampton is a monster at super bantam but it doesn't get easier to lose the pounds as you get older , though i think mcguigan is a great conditioning coach . I believe it will go right to the wire , maybe even a split decision . Look out too for Marco McCullough on the undercard , good wee featherweight from the Lower Shankill , fights for the commonwealth title .

Vanoli 4,625 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Conor was seriously fucking mad at that steroids comment. Really enjoyed that presser. Strsightforward win for Conor. Hope he gets Lawler at 200 after this. Can't be arsed with another Aldo situation. I actually think he'd beat Robbie as well. It's Stephen Thompson that would absolutely MURDER him.
