Epic fight. I would have called it 47-47. Connor took rounds 1, 2, and 4 with Nate rounds 3 and 5 with a 10-8 third, but all my bets were on Conor so I'll take it. Lucky win though b/c a few more seconds in the 3rd and it would have been over.

I was up BIG until the Nate Diaz fight.. I lost only 3 fights on the entire card out of 12... Hit alot of props early on and towards the end of the card as well..
That Nate loss though blew me up big time as I took about a $1200.00 hit on all my books with that final loss.. I really loaded up on Nate Diaz.. I still managed to win the event though as I was playing with house money after the Rumble Johnson early KO...
Seems like both of us got stung with that Nate loss but we both profited with the event.. All good and onto the next event Hugo..

Thanks for that..
I would have thought Nate was favored after round 2 as he was taking over the fight and McGregor was looking gassed and running at the end of the round...
Glad I didn't live bet Nate after all..
I probably would have slammed Nate after round 2 especially.. I really though he was gonna finish McGregor.. 5 dimes wasn't showing live betting when I checked and I gave up looking after that..Last edited by JIBBBY; 08-21-16, 01:23 PM.Comment -
Regardless of how we did betting this card, I think it's important to take a step back and realize how amazing of a card UFC 202 was. We saw lots of incredible knockouts, new stars being born, and a fight of the year candidate to cap off the night.
The Nate/Conor fight was very close but it wasn't a robbery or a fix. Hopefully we get to see the trilogy some time in the near future.
Happy capping and good luck to everyone on the next event.Comment -
Diaz wasn't doing shit in the 3rd round.
He was throwing weak, slapping, shots that weren't hurting Conor.
The commentators exaggerated the action there.Comment -
I did notice Nate is a total tard when he was trying to knee McLucky in the clinch.. It's like Nate never learned how to throw or land a knee in the clinch..
His punches are weak and that's the only reason he didn't finish McGregor at the end of several rounds.. He had McGregor running away from him.. Nate was the aggressor. So much for octagon control winning you points..
Like Hugo said, that was a fun card and we saw a bunch of good fights go down!!!Last edited by JIBBBY; 08-21-16, 02:53 PM.Comment -

^^ Nate in that last vid, said he rewatched the fight last night and thought he CLEARLY won. Lost the 1st round then won every round after that..
Nate just wants big fight paydays at this point.. Doesn't care about rematches, who he fights, where he fights on planet he fights. Nate is all about the cash.. He's lost all title ambitions, or the actual love for the sport..
Oh well it happens..Comment -
How are people saying Nate won round 2? Conor had a flawless 3 minutes 30 seconds to open the round and knocked Nate down twice. Even when he gassed the last 1.30 he was still landing his fair share of shots.
Nate certainly stole the momentum in the fight by coming on strong but he clearly lost the round.Comment -
Agree Nate only won 2 roundsComment -

Wicked video.. Super bummed they didn't add rumbles Ko with the tooth flying out slow mo but I'll take it , hopefully do more of these in the futureComment -
That cerrone combo was just from another planet honestly... Lands every shot perfect against a super tough guy I wonder what the ceiling is for cowboy at 170 he's looking like a new beast he has a very very similar skill set and frame to Carlos condit and they're teammates .
the Stockton slap part was pretty funny then he points at Conor but watching all the ones that missed or were blocked intrigued me more, slow mo you can really see the technique behind the shoulder rolls and raising your elbow up to block shots kinda like Anderson does in his fights super cool.... Plus the 360 view weigh in the future is coming , can't wait until they have VR cameras on all the seats so we can watch live but at home will be insaneComment
+ also notice the sick combination of strikes from Cerrone.
