But I doubt he'd be ditched by the UFC after 3 loses, regardless of losing 3 in a row he'd still be a big draw. Aye, he wouldnt fall off the face of the earth of course. But the bandwagon would grind to a halt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polo 1,433 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Can't quite believe McGregor is the bookies favourite for this. I'll be having some of Diaz at 11/10. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will have to agree to disagree with the whole "who is in whos head" thing. COnnor tried to KO him in round one, and threw his punches at 100% and burned himself out, complete rookie move. Nate came out in the second and compltetly dominated him, made him take nate to the ground and by that time it was all over. Connor can't hang with Nate on the ground, and if he can't lay a KO punch on Nate, before Nate lands one on him, then Connor has very little chance of winning this rematch. Nate is a better all round fighter, connor bit off more than he could chew. He has spent his career beating up midgets ( as connor told him) He drops 30lbs before the wiegh in and then comes in about 10 lbs heavier than his opponent by the fight. The very first time he fought a guy the same size as him ( which he is, connors walk around weight is about 170, as is nates) with some skills, he got his ass handed to him. I see the next fight going the same way, unless nate doesn't bring his A game, then Connor has a chance. fancy a fiver bet ( loser pays govanblues erskine fund, or the rangers charity foundation) on who wins the rematch? Connor will win IMO, He is taking this seriously when he treated the last fight like a given. He also didn't get his 'ass' handed to him last time...If you watched the fight you can clearly see he battered fuck out of Diaz for in the first round then became sloppy and got caught...then submitted. It wasn't an annihilation like you are trying to make out. Diaz will hopefully be punched hard enough to string a sentence together regardless. I don't like either of them ones a jumped up irish prick and the others a retarded slab of meat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanoli 4,625 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 McGregors ploughed money into his camp for this and is training specific. IFC has used that to build a narrative that he's working harder. Nate's got his work done behind the scenes, and he's years ahead of McGregor anyway, you don't catch up in 6 months. It's also a complete myth that McGregor totally dominated the fight, again a case of people just buying everything the guy says. Diaz put in some solid work, his jab and counters for the most part and elusiveness even though he circled towards Conors favourite punch. Second round showed he's a superior boxer.

kaiser1041 9,088 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I actually think McGregor has a better chance this week with the camp he's had although I hate the cunt. for me it's a 50/50 aslong as McNugget keeps it on the feet Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersonic 4,654 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 This is very winnable fight for Mcgregor - however, he has to completely go against his own personality, stop the constant trying to knock cunts out with the left hand all the time and actually stick to a strict gameplan. Otherwise 5 rounds is a lifetime against any Diaz brother. Leg kicks have played huge roles in a lot of the lopsided losses in Nate's fights, so I'd absolutely expect Conor to utilise them big time. That and pace himself this time, not just headhunting - instead picking his combos and drag it to the judges. As I say, it's absolutely winnable... but will Conor stick to whatever the gameplan is for the entire fight? Diaz will land his combos and he absolutely will be talking maaaad shit from the second he steps into the cage, plus the crowd might even get in Conor's head if they start booing Conor's potentially boring gameplan... I'm very interested to see whether he sticks to it, or later on in the fight, maybe starts thinking Nate's fading and goes for the knockout only to fall into the same trap as last time. Another, far shittier possibilty is a doctor stoppage. Both Diaz brothers have tonnes of scar tissue and I'd be so gutted if this gets ruined by a doctor stoppage The rest of the card has some stellar fucking fights as well - Rumble vs Glover (winner gets DC), Cowboy vs Story (Cowboy looked phenomenal against Cote in his last fight) and Magny vs Larkin is a great fight too. Plus, every possibilty Mizugaki stops the Garbrandt hype train! Safe to say I'm looking forward to the card Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsasasfloppyhair 13,310 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I hope Diaz leathers him good and proper. Be good to see McGregor retired as a result of such a pounding. kaiser1041 and LeeWallaceRFC 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MolsGoals 96 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Even if it stays standing don't think Conor has enough to KO nate, his chin is just that good. Think Nates forward pressure will break him again after round 3. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersonic 4,654 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Conor is fucking pissed at not being able to go back out and the big man after Nate's stunt Some of that "fuck the Diaz bruddas" shit at the open workouts is cringeworthy as fuck to me Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

minus22 207 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Is it BT 1 or 2 it's on? If it's 1 I'm sorted, if it's 2 I'll be hoping to find a decent stream.
