fkng amateurs coach

I won too --- do I talk about it? NO

clown won a few units out off a thousand plays and acting all cocky


jeezz

[pilebuck13]

Rockets a heavy weight

[mikewlgm]

And after all that sh*t talk

[BIGDAY]

I lost.

[Russian Rocket]

The good news: There will be no UFC for the next two weeks.

[Plaza23]

They won't fight again. Diaz might get some mileage out of this for sure though. Connor needs to cut his happy meal 170# ass down to 145 again so he can dominate and give up this dream of putting on weight and competing.

Doesn't a man feel like less of a man if they only weight 145?

I'm 6'0 195 and am definitely stronger than either of these two guys. That said, they'd kill me in a real fight. Still, I cant imagine being that tall and only weighing 145 pounds. That just isnt healthy. 5'9 145 for a man = not a good look.

Nateis a gamer. The Diaz brothers always come to fight.

The UFC hand picking this one for their new cash cow backfired on them.

If anything, the non-weight cut should have favored Conor. he is too small for that weight class.

Nate can give a good standing boxing match with anyone in the UFC. He can stand there and take 1001 punches as well.
I was surprised that they they gave Diaz $500,000 just to fight in this match, with no winning bonus; the guy only made $40,000 in his last fight and that was with the 20k/20k win bonus.

I lost.

disgraceful performance by you


I think you go big tomorrow to get it all back

UFC fighters predict winner in Diaz vs McGregor fight

[Kermit]

Conor said at the press conference that he will probably defend his title at 200.

[Slanina]

Any one have a link to the fight? I want to see how it unfolded.

Like this.

[Stringer Bell]

Fight took a 180 when Diaz landed the one punch. Connor was very shook and Diaz started piling on major shots while McGregor was having trouble even getting his hand ups to defend while also taking small steps backwards. Diaz went straight for the kill took him to the wall then once he hit the ground, fight over.

McGregor cut Diaz over his right eye in the first round and he was leaking heavily, even moreso in the second with his entire side of the face covered in blood. Was looking inevitable that McGregor would finish the knockout/tko in 2nd or at worst early 3rd round, then Diaz lands the one punch.

Got to give credit to Diaz, even with bloody dripping down blocking his vision he never really backed down or changed his hard attack. Also think Connor's yapping during the fight caught up with him, I just don't quite understand why fighters do this. Not the biggest UFC fan so haven't seen that many fights, but certainly recall Silva getting knocked out by Weidman while yapping and acting like a fool.

McGregor was very humble and a graceful loser, which was great to see. Stated he did a poor job of being energy efficient, whereas Diaz was.

Two friends I was watching with lost a heartbreaking parlay. Both played $20 to win 950 on Tate, Diaz and over 2.5 rounds. If McGregor held on until 3rd round, I still think he would have been knockedout, I assume he was concussed on the punch by Diaz. Great night of fighting nonetheless.

[jjgold]

Diaz was tougher than I thought

I thought he would get pounded

No idea he was some ground expert

[Auto Donk]

diaz screaming something "mutha fukkers" right after the fight was nice.....

bloody bout.... both probably have the zika virus now

jiu-jitsu put him away; perhaps whitey shoulda been readin' up on defending that shit while he was getting all that lame ass ink......

[Auto Donk]

no doubt these guys are small; and when they start trying to pull that jiu-jitsu shit on any regular guy (one that weighs more than 220 lbs), there's only one way to get em off you:

[PaperTrail07]

lol lets hope you didn't talk about winning lol

Chalk is the name of the game today Coach

Amanda Nunes
Holm
McGregor
Thatch
Silva

[jjgold]

Well good entertainment

Never thought I would be watching this stuff but I am for the bigger bouts

[PaperTrail07]

he was 100% gassed-weight was too much for him

Why did he shoot for that takedown? Really stupid by Connor and he only has himself to blame for that loss.

[PaperTrail07]

its taking over...nobody wants to watch people use 12 14 16 oz gloves and go 12 rounds to a decision lol...

[PaperTrail07]

Your right though....What a show last night...

[Mac4Lyfe]

To each his own. I enjoy UFC but I'm also a boxing aficionado. I watch both and appreciate what these athletes go through to prepare. They both are brutal sports and by never knowing what will happen or who will win is the big draw for me. Who knew Tate and Diaz would both win last night? Who knew Buster Douglas would win in Tokyo? I love the sweet science of boxing and I appreciate the mental grind of 12 rounds. Sure boxing can be a frustrating watch BUT so can UFC.

I'm not sure why some UFC folks feel the need to talk boxing down? If you don't like it just don't watch it. Striking/boxing is a big part of UFC fighting. Why would you put down what UFC fighters do 80% of the time? Small penis complex?

Nate Diaz Worse for Wear But Still, the Champ

3/6/2016 6:40 AM PST BY TMZ STAFF


Nate Diaz celebrated with his boyz Saturday night after beating Conor McGregor's ass ... and it looks like Nate went 5 rounds, not 2.
The new champ posed with fellow UCF fighters Jake Shields and brother Nick.
It's been a bad couple of months for reigning champs.



TMZ: "The new champ posed with fellow UCF fighters Jake Shields and brother Nick"
1. Not a championship fight.
2. It's 'UFC' not UCF
3. That third guy is not his brother Nick

[Suggartown]

You speak the truth for sure

[Kermit]

[GunShard]

The EA curse is real lol.

He also fought stupid as well, went head hunting all fight, he didn't need to do that being the much more quicker, more skilled striker, should have chopped down diaz legs and body and finished him. In the 3rd like I. Said, rda showed him the gameplan to best diaz, but connor though he could ko him with punches, krpt head hunting and missing. McGregor let his own hype get to him, that's why. He lost this fight, he will come back even stronger then before, he needs to get this edgar fight out the way, then drop that belt completly and go for the 155 and 170 titles, he was completly dismantling diaz in a pure boxing match for the first 7 minutes of that fight, not many people can do that to diaz, nearly anybody else would have crumbled to those punches, diaz has a heart of a. Lion, mcgregor just needs to fight smarter next time, he still ko's rda inside 1 round.

He was never going to do that though. That's not his style at all.

[JoshKnows46]

Not true, he was more of a counter striker when he fought at 155, and he now knows that needs to be his style if he wants to be champion of the higher weight classes. He use to pick guys off, he fought uncharacteristically diffrent in this fight, what He did last night, wasn't His style.

That's exactly what I said in the other thread. Doesnt change the fact that he doesnt leg kick, doesnt have a jab. If a fighter changes his style radically for 5 fights straight, one can't expect him to suddenly go back to what he did in the past. Conor was going to come out pressuring. Just thought that would be enough, and didn't see him gassing that hard at all. - But that's what happens when you pack so much muscle and weight on a frame that's not used to it.
Boxers usually jump weightclasses 2-3 pounds at a time, go back down, then go back up etc. What Mcgregor did was ballsy as penetrate, but his body wasn't there for him. One of his coaches should have told him this is how it works, instead of hitting him with foam poolnoodles and doing this shit:
