Totally agree, I just don't see why McGregor would accept this bout if he didn't have an intention of fighting for the welterweight title for UFC 200

Conors timing is exceptional. He will maul through Nate just in time for UFC 200. He will be the main draw on this card which will probably land him the biggest payday in MMA history. I fear he might slow down after that OR maybe even retire.

Mcgregor mocking RDA bruised foot, just take ice and advil...
Nate gonna get rolled in this fight and he knows this!!! He's not in shape and he pretty much showed it at this conference... He's showing up to get paid and get beat down and that's it.. McGregor called a 1st round ko and I believe him in this one..
Nate the MMA gangster thug punk...If he wasn't in MMA I'm convinced he'd be in jail right now...

There's a reason CM is +163 to KO him in the first round. I suspect Diaz will fold quite quickly once he feels the power.

Nate has an excellent chin. He will gas before he gets KO'd.
Keep in mind... Conor hasn't gone very long in the cage either so...

Without a doubt it gets out the 1st, I'm gonna be on starts the 2nd round LARGE, gonna get amazing value on it with mcgregor predicting 1st round as all the noobs and casual fans will hammer it, Mcgregors crystal ball is off here, he needs to hire me to do his predictions. It most likely gets out of the 2nd as well. Should be finished in the first 3 minutes of the 3rd round.

But the Dagestani fighter has been on the sidelines ever since that fight with injury and is already scheduled to fight fellow lightweight contender Tony Ferguson, who also wanted the fight with McGregor, in a main event on April 16....cricketts...

No bet, line has value on tate, but think holm wins, because tate has poor fighter iq, and Holm is already hard to get down, also tate has no striking defense. Holm look like shit however in her previous fights before fighting rousey, so tate maybe sneak a dec by being more active. Tough fight to call a winner, it's a risk to bet on either. No bet.

Yep against that short juiced up plug, with the short arms, forget his name and probable Holloway fight, if he made a prediction for that one, I don't remember. He's been mostly right, but he's been wrong.

Has Conor been wrong before? He's such a liar then..
Maybe starts the 2nd round.. Nate is tough and hard to finish but McGregor looks so strong and if he connects hard and clean early on I think he drops Nate.. Best chance of that happening is in the 1st round when McGregor is fresh.. IMO..
Nate might look for an early out once he tastes the power.. He's not trained up and all he cares about is getting paid.. Not sure he really cares about winning or putting on a great show.. He has a legit excuse now if he loses, Zuffa will give him more fights and all is good either way for Nate.. That makes it much easier to quit quickly and escape without injury if there are mental doubts..... Just saying..
I'll tell you though McGregor should be happy to get awarded these easy fights, back outs or injuries in every fight now..He's getting paid the same and gets to fight big name guys coming in on a couple weeks notice or fighters that took a long time off. Chad gassed because he wasn't trained up.. Aldo out for ever, came back and got hit with the first punch, Nate is next in line... RDA would have been a much tougher test then Nate Diaz.. When RDA does fight McGregor he'll have alot of time out of the cage like Aldo. Another easier RDA to face..
I would love to see Demien Maia get a shot at McGregor. One take down from Maia and McGregor would be done...

- Remember Maia/Marquardt? Same result. Maia's too old now, although I am a fan of his (although only really knew of him since the Silva fight) and root for him against almost anyone but I can't see him getting CM down before getting tapped on the chin.

I'm interested to see how a 170 pound McGregor will do from bottom position if it gets there vs. a 170 Nate Diaz.
20% Diaz is able to have his way. Avoid McGregor's left and take it to the ground.
80% McGregor has his way and turns Diaz into a bloody mess. TKO's him during rounds 1, 2 or 3.
Nate didn't have a full training camp for this fight..
He's gonna fight hard, but he's gonna get fukked up.

You think Mendes gassed bad, imagine what Diaz is going to do. If this fight is on the ground or grinding ANY, Diaz will gas
