    Conor McGregor

    Will he be a bigger star than Floyd Mayweather in combat sports in terms of earning money.

    I wonder if Habib can stop this guy? I think that's the next fight that needs to happen for the Irish.

    Boxing had bigger purses

    How is he so great if he loses to nate diaz for basically the third time. Scoring in that second fight was a joke.

    they will probably set him up with someone he can beat pretty easily, a sport without any star with ronda and jones crashing and burning needs something. Why is boxing considered in bad shape with guys like Mayweather, Klitschkos, Pacquiao cotto alvarez etc?

    the stars of mma are rondoa rousey, jon jones and a 21-3 (4) featherweight and one lightweight title with conor, a guy who basically lost two fights to diaz.

    Guys like manny,mayweather , etc,win titles all over various weight classes, lightweight, featherweight, welterweight ,Super Welterweight, Super lightweight etc

    You fail to mention he was way over his head at 170 pounds and he CLEARLY won that last fight. Dominated the first round, did enough to win the 4th round for sure and won nearly 4 mins of the 2nd round with 1 or 2 KD's as well. The fifth round was a close one. He clearly lost 1 round. These haters are so damn stupid.

    Of course boxers move classes like crazy. Strength doesn't play into the equation near as much. Nobody can grab Manny or Mayweather and toss them to the ground

    He "clearly" did not beat diaz by any means in the second fight. I havent seen any poll where diaz lost that fight but at the very least it should have been a draw. http://www.lowkickmma.com/polls/poll...on-at-ufc-202/

    The ufc needs a star, would love to see a diaz /mcgregor fight soon but ufc will lose its shining and manufactured star if Conor loses three straight fights to Diaz.

    evidence? lol . Did you watch either fight? Nate diaz beat the crap of mcgregor in ufc 196 and tapped him out in the second round, in the second fight he spent most of the last half of the fight stalking conor, 131 to 107 strikes, much more attempts at takedowns with a brutal takedown in the fifth. nate diaz is a very average fighter (19-11) who basically beat the ufc's new manufactured star conor, but the ufc made sure there was no way he was going to get the decision in that last fight.

    Lets see a third fight and we will see if the "champ" loses 3 times to diaz.

    LOL, Conor destroyed Nate in that 1st fight and then got tired. He got clipped and shot for a TD and got subbed. Conor pounds Nate in the standup like crazy until he gets tired of hitting him in the face. At 155, I would imagine Nate would go down in the 2nd round

    and that card was amazing even if he wasn't on it. it was better than ufc 200. it's why boxing is buried. u will never see a boxing night with 5 matches of champs/former champs and top tier contenders. Jon Jones went away. no problem. Rousey. same. no one person makes this sport. They've even convinced guys to watch female headliners, who are quality fighters. only tennis can compare in that way.

    Dana said ufc 205 broke the record for UFC PPV buys, If you put the number at 1.7 million buys that will mean over the last 11 months Conor fought 4 times and generated around 6.4 million PPVs buys. At $50 a pop (SD version) thats $320 million in PPV alone not counting record breaking live gates in Vegas and NYC

    UFC pay-per-views

    Date Main event Billing Buyrate
    July 11, 2015 Mendes vs. McGregor UFC 189 825,000[59]

    floyd got 4.4 mil ppv buys in one night. at $100 pop. quite a bit over $400 million. and no one even watches the undercard. he carries the event literally.

    Aww, c'mon fire, look I'm more of a Diaz fan, both for that matter, than a McGregor fan but truthfully you cannot say Conor's win was not controversial.

    Diaz more total strikes. 252 - 197
    Diaz more significant strikes. 166 - 164
    Diaz more control time. 6:19 - 1:26
    Diaz more take downs. 1 - 0

    Conor more knock downs. 3 - 0

    Judges Scores:

    Glenn Trowbridge 47 - 47
    Jeff Mullen 47 - 48
    Derek Cleary 47 - 48

    These numbers easily explain why people are divided on this fight, 1 point and 1 judge away from ending up just like the Woodley/Thompson fight. A win for Conor yes, but a very close one. I mean the significant strikes are the first thing I'd throw out. Nate got em' but by 2, c'mon. The take down? Toss it, personally it should've come earlier.

    However, damn near 5 mins more control time, and 55 more total strikes, vs 3 knock downs, of which 2 are questionable, the first in the first, definitely looked genuine, the two in the second, seemed somewhat like a bait, he was very alert upon hitting the mat, waiting to engage...not dazed...

    Round 3, especially at the end may have led to stoppage in other fights, and I'd not be the first to claim victory when Conor was almost breaking into sprints around the ring to evade Nate. Backing up, or side-to-side motion/circling is understandable, this was significantly more.

    Now while I do think his victory was narrow, this fight was Conor's. Nate is the only one to blame here. As big a Diaz Bro fan as I am, every person betting on this sport should know a few fundamental things. One very important one being, judges.

    They suck, they're retarded, they're complete morons. We all bet, we all know judges history, and while I think people who believe Diaz should've won aren't delusional, if they thought he would take a decision win, they just might be.

    Conor had the belt, Conor had the spotlight, Conor had the bigger name.

    Nate claimed a possible knee/leg injury, but even he knows deep down, as well as everyone that fights and watches, never leave it to the judges. It's not something they say for their health or the hell of it. That was his biggest mistake. That cost him the win.

    This was Conor's win, and honestly it was needed. How else could we ever have McGregor/Diaz 3? I could watch these nuts fight erry day.

    I don't think he'll touch Floyd in career earnings or stay on top nearly as long. Conor isn't stupid though, he's going after everything he can while he can and he's still only 28.

    Well third fight guarantees Nate as an underdog, technically even bigger than before. It's also a fight that would be a severe bitch to Nate.

    Conor has the better technical striking.
    Conor will have the better accuracy.
    Conor will have more kicks.
    Conor has exposed flaws and taken advantage of them.

    Nate has reach.
    Nate has his ground game.

    Nate will have his durability, and endurance, although so will Conor, he can definitely maintain it for two, maybe more, we really don't know at 155, obviously Eddie fought like a moron so, there goes finding out that.

    I do agree Nate can win, but I wouldn't mark it an easy victory, nor in his favor. Besides we still have to see about Khabib, he should fight him, but I do want McGregor/Diaz 3 asap.

    Hey pal, have you seen their fights? What are you trying to say exactly? Nate cant be knocked out man. This guys brain is made of scrambled eggs or something. Conor has to win by points and mustnt gas because he can always be submitted. Its a disastrous matchup for him.

    Nate probably has CTE.
