Rda out ufc 196

[Kermit]

They won't give it to Nate cause Cerrone will come a lot cheaper an is an easier fight

Apparently they are giving it to Nate. get ready for a solid 12 days of some classic shit talking.

[Sato]

Nate!? This is some bizarro world shit, pal.

[Kermit]

[JIBBBY]

Has Nate even been training?

Talk about short notice call up and you know McGregor is ready to go... Nate gonna get wrecked.. Good trash talk coming up for sure!!!

[Killer_Demo]

Conor new.opponent being announced tonight on sportscenter 8pm Pacific, 11pm east. Stay tuned!

[Kermit]

I would have preferred Conor to fight someone else who has been training for a fight. Who knows what kind of Nate Diaz we are going to see in the cage.

My guess is that they picked Nate figuring that if he wins, he'll probably fail the drug test, thus saving face for Conor.

Plus they know Nate can help sell this fight with his mouth even though he isn't the most worthy opponent.

CONFIRMED nate diaz vs conor McGregor at welterweight

[Kermit]

Wow. Fighting at 170. No cutting for Diaz.

[Kermit]

[jjgold]

[El Nino]

[Kermit]

[Kermit]

[El Nino]

[Deceptakhan]

-320 Already
U 2.5 -175

Diaz all day - just a woeful matchup stylistically for CMac. I don't think there would be value in him at pick'em odds.

You may want to scale that back a bit. JoshKnows head might explode, brah.

[Mase of Base]

This looks too easy for Connor but I don't know anything about the sport. I'll wait for the worse possible line right before the fight and still bet it probably, don't see it staying where it is.

Dana White must be doing that make it rain dance every night with Connor, he's got guys like me who have never watched the sport actually quite interested. Not that I've watched another fight since he last fought but still kept up to date with the upcoming big cards. Two years ago I could of named one guy in MMA (Mark Hunt just 'cos he's a Kiwi) now I can name almost 10, that's a pretty big deal for me!

[YouMama]

Catch weight w Cerrone would have been a better fight... They are only giving it to Diaz for the Trash Talk Angle

Yep.

[CanuckG]

Miesha Tate have a shot?

[YouMama]

Miesha Tate have a shot?

I was thinking about putting a something on her at +265... She def. wont be as Dumb as Rhonda was going at her like that... and Holm blocked Rhondas hip toss take downs easily... I think Tate can Shoot, which would seem to me a better option in getting her on the ground... once on the ground, tate has a better shot, w a armbar / something like that... Holm has power w her kicks, but she wont knock anyone out w her hands... the main thing w Holm is her cardio... it seems crazy good... before that fight w Rohnda she ran around the ring 500 times, before the fight even started... and still looked like she could run 10 miles after it was over.

although I still think Conor wins by TKO I actually agree that stylistically it isnt that great a matchup for Conor, or at least not as easy as most will think. He's finally fighting somone that isnt a midget and he wont have significant reach advantage on. He's fighting someone for first time that wont fall for his mind-games and shit-talking - Diaz will give as good as he gets, and he's fighting someone that has decent cardio and can take a beating. The big pluses for Conor is that he doesnt have to worry about the takedown threat which is huge, and Diaz isnt elusive or mobile - Conor will be able kick him at will - and why I'd never consider actually betting on Diaz.

Spot on, smart man. As mentioned before diaz doesn't get any respect from linesmakers, fun fight, but worse matchup for betting. Connor wins because no one can stand with him, and diaz cant get it down. Don't think I'm gonna bet on it, atleast not straight, but I'm much more excited to see it as a fan of the sport and a fan of the standup.

[JoshKnows46]

I'm glad diaz couldn't make 155, and they had to do it at 170 pounds, because it makes it more Palitable for them to do the robbie fight next, and I'm sure that is where there mindset lines at in making it a 170 pound fight.

[JoshKnows46]

I woulda pushed a big chunk on mcgregor at 280 or 260 range, was hoping for 250, but I didn't expect the lines to come out so soon, so i missed out, 360 is where it becomes a no bet for me, diaz will give him that real sh.it...how funny would it be if diaz Stockton slaps mcgregor lol, this is gonna be fun, I think mcgregor takes out diaz lead leg the first 2 rounds, and finishes him in the 3rd.

Spot on. When do props come out on this one? -360 is rough but I could see this getting to -400 and higher in the coming days. Where is the value in that?

Probable goes higher but then comes back down and settles in the 300 s. I'm thinking of betting 3rd round finish for 500, with a 100 dollar insurence policy's on 2nd and 4th, and 50 on 5th. And something on mcgregor ko prop. Really think the 3rd round is the sweet spot, diaz is tough to hit, has great range of distance and matches reach along with a nice chin. I'd be very surprised if it's finished before the start of the 3rd, and by that time, diaz movement and punching power will be zapped from leg kicks, and don't think it makes 4th. Gonna have to get a little funky on how I bet this fight..but can't see many people lasting over 15 minutes in a straight kickboxing match with mcgregor.

[JoshKnows46]

With all mcgregors 1st and 2nd round finishes, think I get a nice price on that 3rd round stoppage.

[JoshKnows46]

Gonna be loading up on 3rd round finish in the robbie fight as well, because robbie is willing to stand with anybody.
