    Yeah Conor was insane if he actually believed that shit? Yeah he has one punch power at 145 and nearly closed Nate's eye in 1 round but that would be like shooting a tank with a machine gun

    Hell if they rolled Benson Henderson out at 155....McGregor would get about 6 punches in before he got put on the ground for the rest of the night. I just don't think you can teach a 20 yr old enough wrestling and ground skills in Europe to make up for people that grew up doing that shit in America or Brazil or Russia. Kazilaboobob or wtf his name is was wrestling bears as a little kid for Christs sake

    Lawler will be forgotten about soon enough. Mcgregor is here to stay. Thompson will take Lawler down in style when that match is made. If McGregor fought Edgar next and defended his title all this 170 chancing will be forgotten about. Who does the UFC give Diaz next?

    I love Thompson, but what if, just what if he loses to Rory?

    Conor almost has to fight Edgar next.

    As far as Diaz, I don't know.

    Hell he never puts his hands up either....just assumes his head movement is so fast or that he'll just walk thru it. We'll see what happens from here....same as with Rousey.

    I know how good his boxing is, I've been watching him since the flukish win over Manny almost 10 years ago.

    I would hardly call Conor's 1st round performance dominating. He was getting tagged just as much. He just threw more flash.

    He is damaged goods in the sense that he won't be getting a 170 pound title shot anytime soon. He has a date with destiny, and that destiny's name is Frankie.

    He didn't gas, he panicked when he got hit and stunned a bit and went for the takedown. I'm a Conor mark but he's mentally weak when challenged. Conor needs to stay at 145 to be a champion. He's just too weak mentally

    Why are you gassing in the 2nd round though? That shouldn't happen! It wasn't like the fight was a total war up to that point. All he took was some right jabs thru 1.5 rounds. I think if he cuts down the hypetrain....going on Conan....all that bullshit and actually puts his hands up and works on sprawling then he can still be an elite fighter but I still don't know about 155?

    Now thats bullshit. He nearly closed his eye in 1 round? He kicked Nate's lead leg pretty hard several times too where Diaz was on his back foot basically jabbing

    This right here. The UFC is actually killing themselves by overly promoting themselves.

    Yeah, he had him cut(not unusual for Nate to get cut), but it wasn't like Nate wasn't hitting him back. Nate's main punch is his jab.

    Time will tell on McGregor? He def showed some signs of bully syndrome like Mike Tyson or Rousey. Unlike them he's very intelligent though and I think some of this is very fixable.....basically just trying to walk thru punches with your hands down, etc. It will be interesting.....got to be Frankie for his next fight you would think?

    In my honest opinion, it has to be Frankie.

    Conor got knocked down a notch tonight, no doubt.

    i lost on that fight, lost a 1000 parlay with nunes/connor, and a few hundred in probs, but i won 700 on it starting the 2nd round, so i didnt lose too bad on it, up big from tonight and yesterday's bellator card. i had a bad feeling about it after mcgregor flinched like a b.itch at weigh ins.

    Conor lost as a direct result of playing too much Touch-butt in the park with the dork with the ponytail.

    Nate didn't have a lot of moments during these press conferences, but that Touch-butt comment about Conor's "movement" coach was definitely one of them.

    Diaz made an extra $100,000 tonight. $50K for fight of the night and $50K for performance of the night.

    You can't really blame him though. I mean, how do you call out the 170 pound champ when you got beat by an un-ranked 170 pound fighter, and how can you hope to get a fight with the 155 pound champ when you just got submitted by the #5 ranked light weight fighter?

    His upcoming fight with Frankie will be make or break for him.
