    Question is hows Macs gastank working at 170? He never fought at that weight...its a question mark. Sure his punching power amplified but if hes gassed somewhere at mid rounds unable to put the guy away...whats then gonna happen?

    This is too bizarre. Probably a fade...

    yeah, same, just looking forward to it from entertainent perspective. Maybe ''Fight starts Round 2'' or something will have value due to all of Conor's first round finishes.

    I should also say that with regards to the mind-games and gettin in fighters heads - it works the same on the flipside. Diaz bros rely a lot on that of course (only reason likes of Cerrone and MJ lost was cos they started fighting like retards cos of the smack talk) - this obviously isnt going to work on Conor!

    His gas tank will be perfectly fine. Nate isnt going brutalise his body with hard body kicks like Dos Anjos would, and he isnt going to be top heavy with grappling and wear him down that way (like Dos Anjos would try to do). He'll just pick his shots - countless body kicks and leg kicks cos they are on a plate agaisnt Diaz brothers, and pick Diaz apart until the ref stops it. It just wont be an easy KO like against the others

    McGregor is so overrated but Diaz sucks anyway...
    Cowboy is garbage...got his ass beat recently. ..even when his grandma died..

    Ufc is such a dumpster fire...everyone backing out of fights...probably cause of steroids/tests..
    McGregor got lucky now somehow he's unbeatable. ..lol
    Too bad all these guys fight so few times a year or they'd be exposed so much quicker...

    His cut to 145 was extreme. His coaches publicly said they didn't want him doing it anymore. His tank will be fine, I doubt he has to cut much if any weight. Watched an interview last week and he was looking good.

    well with RDA fighting with a broken foot your bet might have actually won. Certainly would have made the fight more even for conor.

    Same, late 2nd, early 3rd. Thinking 3rd round prop will be a big jump from the 2nd round prob, gonna put most of my investment on the 3rd and ko prop.

    Going 600 2 units on 3rd round finish, putting 100 on 2nd and 100 on 4th. And probable around 2400 on ko prop if it's around -240 or less.....I'm hoping mcgregor predicts a 1st or 2nd round finish, and doesnt fuk up my money by predicting 3rd round.

    surprised people are thining this is a good fight..sure nate talks shit and that part of it will be entertaining..but a good fight?? no..mcgregor will win this easily IMO .. throwing a few units on mcgregor straight..no way he loses this fight..no way.

    Won't be a good fight, no one thinks that. It will be a one sided beat down as the odds of 370 suggest, but diaz has a jab to keep mcgregor at bay, reach to match and a solid chin, and a counter fighters mentality, but he's heavy on his lead leg and mcgregor will pick it apart. It's more exciting then watching him take out rda in under 3 minutes. Not to mention it's 2 weight classes higher on short notice and a completly diffrent opp,stylistically. Polar opposites of rda, odds are spot on currently, wish I coulda got the -280.

    It's a similar fight to the Holloway fight that went to dec, exept mcgregor isn't injuried so it'll be stopped early 3rd, instead of going to dec or in this case, 4th round.

    im kinda stunned with these cheap fuks. Cerrone is the type who would do it for free. You know Nate got paid and paid well (even tho he is borderline retarded) Mac knows his kicking game will light up Diaz and will prolly be the demise of Nate.

    Same as i see it D. Like JOnes and Gus. We finally got to see Jones fight a guy with the same reach advantage and Gus did better than anyone. He isn't gonna break down Diaz with his hands unless he chops him apart with his legs.

    do you think odds will climb some more in mcgregor's favor? or settle down a bit come closer to fight time? I'm wondering when I should jump.

    yea, I am too don't get me wrong.. I'm just soooo butt hurt that RDA is not fighting, hard to get excited for anything else right now. Wanted to see history.

    If Nate could some how get this fight to the ground which he can not then I might give him a chance at a submission win...

    Nate can't take the power of McGregors punches and kicks period.. Late 1st round KO is what I'm thinking.. This Nate short call up and McGregor being ready for RDA is just gonna be too much to over come for Nate...

    Nate will jab, fight long, man up and do his thing early on, but when McGregor gets inside and connects Nate will get rocked and then dropped...

    Gotta admit it would be nice to see one of the Diaz brothers knocked out cold for once.. This could happen to Nate.

    It's gonna be a clinic for McGregor...

    Climb after the press confrence after mcgregor verbally assaults nate, then probable come back down to where it's at now closer to fight time.

    So everyone is just taking CMac here?

    Nate won't struggle with any cut, he's not facing anybody that'll try to, or could, rag-doll him. CMac is at a reach disadvantage and potentially at one in the mental game too - amongst others. If it was 3 rounds then I think CMac could reap the benefits of a pro-Connor crowd influencing the judges. 25 minutes seems like ample time for Nate to touch up CMac and eventually get the sub. The biggest question mark is whether or not Conor taps on chokes. Consider Nate tackle eligible here folks! Significant EV+ at +105 or above IMO

    What I got out of that press conference is Nate looks like he is a beaten fighter. He might have trouble makin 170
