Possible replacements are cerrone, nate diaz the or aldo.

Id like to see him smash Nate Diaz...he just has a head that needs a good pounding

He was would beat diaz, cerrone would be the more difficult fight although he always folds on the big occasion and also when he gets a bodyshot
-
The Brazilians always seem to come up injured before a big fight where they might get beat...I don't believe in coincidences.
-
RDA is gonna have to f ace him eventually

Cerrone would be a much better fight..I would prefer to see this...I just want someone to dance all over Diaz' head
-
i hope he fights nate diaz
the shit talking will be hilarious
bound to be cerrone though easy sell and he just fought which only lasted a couple of minutes so fresh
-
Diaz is certainly the most marketable option.
-
Dos Anjos? Are their two of them? It doesn't seem fair for two Anjos's to fight one McGregor.
-
Great now he will fight someone that hasn't had a proper training camp. ::)
Glad I did not buy a ticket for this one.
-
What a pussy! Dammit!
-
What a coward, another steroid freak Rafael Dos Anjos who would've failed USADAs new steroid test
Dos Anjos? Are their two of them? It doesn't seem fair for two Anjos's to fight one McGregor.
Dos Santos is not Dos ANJOS
-
Aldo declined

Aldo declined
Seriously? He had stated he was training incase there was an injury ???
It will likely be cerrone as he has stepped in to save events for them many times so he's a Dana favorite color but we all know diaz v McGregor the would be epic before the fight and during the it.

He's a pussy too. He use to call mccgregor a big mouth. He's the whiney big mouth. A lot of these Brazilians are afraid.

Better call Darren Avey.....

The UFC is calling Nate to bail them out, last minute.
Can't blame him for trying to turn Dana upside down for every last nickle.

A duck is A DUCK!! believe me Nate would've been paid(locker room bonus), he's just Scared homie!!
unlike Cowboy Cerrone: "pick me, pick me"

Looks like Diaz is 165LB right now. He has to drop 10lbs in like 12 days. So I say, pay Diaz whatever he wants.

A fighter or anyone else can easily drop 10lbs in 24 hours. So it's more likely that Nate is walking around at 185 and would have to cut 30lbs in 12 days.
-
Dos Santos is not Dos ANJOS
Wait, so there's two of these Santos people too? The UFC should have both of them fight the two Anjos's. That would be a crazy fight.

If he's walking around that heavy, he's a skinny fat guy who's not really training.

McGregor should say "winner take all". See what Diaz says...

Would Dana allow 2 fighters to fight for a "winner take all" purse?

Diaz v Conor at 170lbs

the people giving diaz shit
you do know his standard contract is 20k a fight
he is right to hold out for more chad got 500k for fighting magregor
magregor is on 6 mill a fight now

Press Conference: At about the 40 min mark Diaz says everyone in the UFC is on steroids.

He's right....Frauds and phonies....like all steroid users...
-
Diaz v Conor at 170lbs
I'd like to see a fight go on.....but this makes very little sense?
-
hahahahahah Nate choked, Conor owned him..
He had nothing to say, accusing Conor on Steroids, but Conor told him about his team-mates Melendez & Shields who legitimately got caught on heavy steroids and Nate looked like a bitch!!
Nate wanted the fight at 160lbs first then 165, Conor told him be comfortable let's fight at 170lbs..
Edgar, Aldo, Dos Anjos all declined the fight.. = BITCHES!!
Cerrone was the only who Truly accepted the fight without a blink.. even Nate Diaz was discussing weight & money.. Cerrone is the only true Fighter!!
-
McGregor taking the fight at 170. I actually think Diaz didn't want this fight right now but get suckered into it by McGregor. No way Diaz thought McGregor would take the fight at 165. Let alone McGregor giving Diaz 170. lol. Someone is getting knocked the fuck out in this one. My money is on McGregor knocking Diaz out. McGregor will be so much stronger than his usually fighting self at 170.

lovely words ;)

Is Connor McGregor the only guy that should be discussing money?
I give props to Diaz & Cerrone for being willing to fight. I lost even more respect for Aldo after this.

I agree with you money should be discussed, but c'mon first at 160, then 165..
Conors argument was on point, he's always in fight shape and will take any fight up to 145-170lbs as a true professional, meanwhile Nate goes off-shape once fights over.. that alone made Nate look like a *^*)"#
Cerrone is another true fighter, always in shape and ready to fight always!!

Lmao at Conner saying Nate makes balloon animals for kids on Sundays so he can eat.
-
Press conference is epic...McGregor made Diaz look mentally challenged
-
haha i think nate owned conor
conor was doing all these mental gymnastics trying to come up with shit to say
diaz just listens for five minutes and then "you're on steroids"
conor proceeds to melt hard
i like conor but people who say hes the "greatest trash talker of all time" lol, give me a break. he stutters and stammers before every sentence, struggling brutally to come up with a bunch of half-baked bullshit. occasionally some funny lines, but he tries waaaaay too hard.
-
It's about selling Tickets and PPVs. I like Cerrone as a fighter, but he got embarrassed by both Dos Anos and Diaz, and he just fought on free TV. Diaz was clearly the better option.
-
Conor was bragging about money... Then Nate was like: "You knocked out 3 midgets. You fight midgets; I fight grown-ups"

Are you kidding me? I get it you a Conor hater, but Nate had NOTHING and was mumbling like a retard.. "fuck y'all", "i don't a fuck"(retard autism).
On Steroids claim Conor called out Diaz on his team-mates Melendez & Shield, Diaz literally froze on stage.

One of them is lying, Conor is a multimillonaire and Nate makes 20k/per fight..

Conor Mcgregor aka MysticMac is a BEAST!!! He wanted Nick Diaz instead of Nate, but couldn't fight him because Nick is still banned from competition!

Nate Diaz looked bored. He looked unimpressed. Not worried.

Nate was nervous, was constantly fiddling with is hands, feet. He was looking away from the press and froze several times..
If anything Conor was calm, collected and bored.
better video and angle:
-
He's just a terrible spokesperson, can't articulate to save his life and in addition to that he's a weed head so he may get paranoid when he wants to say something but doesn't know how to infront of the world press
nate looked to be in peace during the stare down, nate is all about fighting
-
Nate is not impressed by anything
-
Remember this? This says it all. Nate is not worried about anything.

yeah, what dc said after that was golden as well

I would take a fight on a weeks notice if it meant millions of dollars.
These guys are nuts for passing on the opportunity. Its a win win. If you lose no big deal you only had two weeks.
Nate sounds like a retarded wigger. I never liked wiggers.

You are out of your mind :o :o :o
Conor doesn't feel pressure, he is not made that way, that is why everyone flocks to him. It makes no difference to him if he is talking to an old lady on the streets or Dana White, he talks down to everyone and holds himself superior to everyone including Lorenzo. If he was talking to the president of United states he would not give 2 fucks.
Nate is nervous as fuck and can not compose himself, in fact he looks like a straight up junkie and acts like one too
-

Ya but minus Dos Anjos those 3 midget would fuck up anyone nate has ever fought

He is fighting for the money, it was clear at the press conference, he doesn't have the must-win attitude and of guys like Lawler or Conor or nick diaz, I think he will be get tko 'd by Conor and be happy with his million or so dollars

Yup - He doesn't believe he can win...he just needs the money
At least he stepped up - I still don't like him though. Aldo put on his panties and ran away

When was the last time that a guy who was given less than 2 weeks notice, actually win a big fight?
I promise you guys that Nate Diaz will last longer than Jose Aldo did :P

They should have skipped this pc. If anything it made me not want to watch this fight.
Nate said something about not sparring and obviously took it for the money. I wonder what weight Connor is at now.
-
Nate made an absolute arse out of himself. He could hardly string two words together and didn't make a blind bit of sense. He said some mumbled rubbish about how he didn't ask for the fight, didn't give a fuck, the UFC called him and yet after his last fight he called out Conor and practically begged for the fight. Conor is cocky as hell but this is one guy I hope he knocks out.

Conor said that Dos Anjos just needed some ice & ibuprofen
Conor acknowledged that there are many pussies in MMA.... but Nate is not one of them.

Conor has had a number of short notice fights and he should be winning them. I would rather see a full camp for his opponent to see them at their best. Nate looked good in his last fight but was in shape.

Can't see how anyone would pull out of a mega fight which is literally gonna transform your life over night with millions of dollars and massive worldwide exposure. Dos Anjos has suffered a nasty injury, it looks like a break to me but he must be absolutely gutted to lose the fight. One thing Diaz did say that made me think was that this probably all happened exactly as planned so Conor would get a full training camp where his opponent has to make do with 10 days notice as was the case with Aldo and his replacement, Mendes.

Be interesting to see if Conor can knock Diaz out. I think he has only been stopped once and if Conor can do it in spectacular fashion at 170 it will make a massive statement.

Were you expecting a Harvard Faculty member, up there? He's Nate Diaz. The size of his vocabulary wasn't a factor in the decision to give him the fight.
The biggest surprise of the Press Conference was that Nate was the better dressed of the two. Were all of Conor's suits at the Dry Cleaner?
-
this is how it plays out
magregor beats an out of shape diaz
nick calls him out
superfight at ufc 200

Yes it will mean he beat another fighter who had no camp and was not in shape. You need to let go of Conor's nut sack and use some common sense.
"Massive statement". ::)

What? You rolling your eyes in sardonic misbelief won't change the facts that if Mcgregor knocks out Diaz at 170 that it will have a massive impact in the UFC. That will open up three divisions Mcgregor can fight at and have super fights at each. You don't need to be on anyone's nutsack to see that.
-
Nate is hard to KO but his face is probably going to get smashed really bad.
his team will probably throw in the towel
-
I am a big McGregor fan, but I think he was intimidated by nate. this could be the end of his run.

Because this is kind of a bad fight to take for Conor.
Not much gain beating Nate. Huge loss if he happens to lose.
Will he even get the belt if he wins this fight? probably not very motivating if he wont.
-
You have to be kidding me... Nate does not give a fuck about anything.
'Nervous' lmao.
McGregor can't get in his head, stumbles over every other sentence, and melted hard at the steroid comment.
I like McGregor, but he has to have a comment for everything, even when he clearly has no good ideas. Still, I hope he wins ten belts and continues to melt 'respectable' fighters and fans for years to come.

This is a bad fight for connor?? Dude, no, just no... never comment on any fighting topic ever again, because nate is the perfect match for connor. Connor doesn't have to be afraid of being taken down, nate is very up and down with his fighting style, easy to read for connor and nate is also slower.

if you want you can go back and see what I said about ronda before her last fight and aldo before he fought conor.

was talking about what he has to gain from this fight moron.
about zero

Nate's reach is what makes the fight interesting. The "fighting midgets" is a fair criticism of Conor.
I wouldn't bet the rent money, but, I could see him getting a decision in a stand up fight, and a submission if he can get to the ground.

Yeah well I said that about ronda/holly weigh in stare down as well, ronda looked scared, frail and under weight.
I don't know what you said about aldo/connor weigh in stare down, but I thought connor might have been a bit frustrated/nervous at that point, aldo looked really confident. But when I saw connor enter the arena all loosen up, relaxed but yet focused, fresh to death and aldo dead serious... all I'm saying is that everyone reads connor wrong when they say he's shitting his pants.
was talking about what he has to gain from this fight moron.

I really missinterpeted you then. He has nothing to gain for sure. Both aldo and edgar DECLINED this opportunity to fight connor and who ever else I don't remember. Not connors fault everyone has excuses. Not connors fault dos anjos falls back 2 weeks out.

Yeah, but keep in mind, Nate can't throw Kicks and can't check them well enough. Connor's Kicks will be the deciding factor here, they both have a good chin to withstand heavy punches, but the kicks will over cast Nate's range
-
Honestly, Connor has a better chance at beating Nate than beating cerrone, that's why they chose Nate. Plus his first crack at UFC LW, and was supposed to be for the belt, so UFC wants to protect his image. If they wanted to, ben Henderson, jim miller, clay, any big wrestler could just grind connor FTW, so yes, Diaz was an easier choice for them

where do you retards come from?
Connor was ecstatic about fighting dos anjos, but guess what? He backed out because he broke his toe nail. Dos anjos destroyed cerrone in the last bout and he made it look easy. Anyone facing connor would be an interesting fight, but only because people want to see how connor reacts to each opponent, noone rly gives a damn about connors opponent.
-
What would Dana have done if GSP came out of retirement and wanted the Conor fight at 170?

That was for the belt, which is fine to lose by the Champ of another division. Now if connor would have lost to say, Clay Guida (the gatekeeper at LW), then that would end his hype. Losing to the champ at another Div, you can still rebound
-

atleast that would be an interesting matchup
but GSP is more intelligent than most fighters. Doesn't want permanent brain damage so backed out in time.
-

that's what I'd like to see as well. GSP has been doing pole dancing mostly so I don't think he could match connor.
And the people who thinks GSP would win and then see as connor ends his career completely would say "oh yeah well he just came from retirement", would be priceless.

This^^^If Conner was worried, he would have made Diaz cut weight for the fight to get paid. He didn't. In fact, he gave Diaz even more weight so he doesn't have to cut at all. That had to of fucked with Diaz head. And the steroid comment was the most retarded comment I think i've ever heard at a conference. Just a really dumb thing to say...That comment was a projecting comment coming from Diaz and his "team"...
-

no, your example was just weird to say the least. "I'm just saying if he were to lose, Better to lose to Werdum than Pat Barry."

Its better to lose to the best fighter than a nobody, in this sport, anyone can lose, you are an idiot if you think Connor is immortal. Again, I have him beating Nate, but anything is possible

He won't gain shit by beating nate. He won't gain shit by beating anyone except the top 3 contenders, that's why he wanted to fight dos anjos right away, but he went running. Just like aldo did. And aldo ran again because his chin is still hurting. I'm impressed how so many high level fighters declined to fight connor. Nate was the only real option at this point, connor isn't a free tv fighter like the rest.
No I don't say his immortal, I just say what's right

And aldo ran again because his chin is still hurting. I'm impressed how so many high level fighters declined to fight connor. Nate was the only real option at this point, connor isn't a free tv fighter like the rest.
No I don't say his immortal, I just say what's right
I agree, he won't gain by beating nate, but What if he loses to nate, the stocks would come tumbling down. I'd rather have him lose to the top guys then guys like nate
-
This^^^If Conner was worried, he would have made Diaz cut weight for the fight to get paid. He didn't. In fact, he gave Diaz even more weight so he doesn't have to cut at all. That had to of fucked with Diaz head. And the steroid comment was the most retarded comment I think i've ever heard at a conference. Just a really dumb thing to say...That comment was a projecting comment coming from Diaz and his "team"...
;D

Well, that's true, but connor needs to live up to his name and fight anyone they put infront of him.
Like connor said when they replaced aldo with mendez; "Why would I be bothered if they replace the number one guy with number two?"
Nate is like... 70th :D... lol, but you get it. Connor has to fight when the date is scheduled. If the master goes running and a free tv fighter replaces him, connor has to take it. Connor knows that's what fans also want to see ,I would boo the hell out of connor if he fights only twice a year like aldo or mayweather.
He's a true champion, that's how champions do business in the fight game and that's one of the main reasons connor is the best imo because he wants to be active and fight the best, but if the best breaks a toe and needs to run away he will still fight anyone else they put infront of him.
-
Diaz has a chance if he gets it to the ground and locks in a choke, but he's too stupid to do this and will be coaxed into keeping it standing by Conor and get tkod in the first or second.

8submission wins towards conors 0. Both diaz brothers are bjj black belts under Cesar gracie

Ok. In that case connor is obviously going to lose.
-
I am a big McGregor fan, but I think he was intimidated by nate. this could be the end of his run.
As a fight fan I would like it to go past the first round and be a decent fight but Nate did not have a camp, is not in shape and fighting on short notice.
I don't get all the arguing. Cowboy would have at least been in shape.
-
Conor talks a lot of shit about not caring about weightclasses but the truth is that weight really does matter. It matters in boxing and it definitely matters in mma. He's a great fighter and creates fun drama, but don't be surprised if he struggles against a much heavier opponent than he's used to in Diaz. I've seen it time and time again, a guy that can hurt guys in a certain weight class moves up a couple classes and all of a sudden the fighters can absorb his shots much better. Perhaps this won't be the case, but I do believe it's a real possibility.

all roids lol diaz caalls him out

I'm a fan of true fighters. People hate connor because they are jealouse, period.
Since when have you seen a fighter wanting to fight everyone and anyone? I can't see mayweather all of a sudden fight x after preparing for y. Mcgregor is a real champion, a real fighter, he does it right. If he loses he loses with honor, he didn't duck or hide noone.
The fight I really want to see is connor vs lawler :P

I will be flamed for this and its not just cos im Irish but I think conor is a horrible match for lawlor, I think Condit or GSP would beat Conor though. This weekend keep an eye out for Tom Breese on the UK card
-
And my prediction for UFC196
Conor by tko vs diaz in round 1 or 2
At the press conference nate says he doesn't give a fuck about losing as hes now a millionaire
Conor will be matched to fight at UFC200, that will likely be against Dos anjos or Lawlor I reckon and Ronda gets beaten badly again vs holm

Oh don't even get me started on gayweather ;D
I know Mcgregor doesn't care about weight, and I agree that is great to see in this modern age of fighting sports. I was simply implying that weight does matter, and it very possibly could play a big role in his fights if he continues to fight at 170. With that being said, if he wins the 170 belt do you think he would eye 185?

I think 185 is a step too far, Conor isn't in this for the long term, I wouldn't be surprised if he never defends his BW belt and stays at 155 and 170 for a few fights and a few million and goes on to hollywood

Yes weight does matter, obviously. But IF he wins the 170 belt... you know, with todays medicine and connors buddhist meditation I could see him climbing up there as well :D

On paper I think so too. Lawler is just too fucking bad ass right now. He has been in super wars, half dead but still having dynamite in his punches and kicks. BUT he was knocked out by nate diaz with a perfectly timed punch to the chin. Almost like how mcgregor did aldo. He was also punishing lawler. You can argue that lawler was younger and less experienced.... but yeah so was nate :D

Knowing Nick, he might do something stupid before, during, or after this fight and get another suspension, especially if nate gets Brutally KOed
-
I actually think with a full camp Diaz style could present Connor with a few problems. I don't think he will have the cardio to maintain the distance and punch output to keep him outside where he needs to. Connor by KO late in round 1 like he said or any other round after the first minute.

Big fan of Nick but he did get his shots, he got a shot at the interim title when he wasn't ranked top 5,got a shot at gsp after he lost his interim shot to Condit, and talk is he will come back from suspension to face Lawler if Lawler is still ww champ then

Conor wanted Nick Diaz, Dana offered Urijah Faber..
Cerrone, Nate & Pettis were the other options.
Edgar, DosAnjos & Aldo all backed out..
Nate a top contender was the best option out of EVERYBODY available money-wise & rank-wise.

I'm pretty sure that Nick was in the crowd at the press conference; mouthing off at Conor.

Yes, that was why Conor said "Nick, Nick, your bro is doing great up here".
Conor wanted Nick as well.
While Nate Diaz was selected as Rafael dos Anjos' replacement at UFC 196, Conor McGregor was interested in locking horns with his older brother.
"The Notorious" spoke to FOX Sports Live on Wednesday and said he was enquiring about Nick's suspension.
"I certainly did ask when Nick's ban is up," said McGregor.
"He's still banned so either is good for me. Maybe somewhere down the line I'll probably contest against both, I feel."
Nick was in attendance and, according to McGregor, looked notably uncomfortable in the audience.
"Nick is proud of his little brother," said McGregor. "I could see it up there. He was worried for him or something. I could see it. I had to tell him, 'Nick, he's doing well up here. Relax.' But that's his baby brother so it is what it is."

For a wrestler the jump in weight classes would be on point with your argument and even a boxer but keep in mind Conor at his weakest knocks people out with a mammoth weight cut. Hid power will be insane at 170. Remember Rumble johnson didn't fair well at 170 or at 185 but at 205 he knocks people out.
Nate will be out cold in the first round and for those who say he has nothing to gain.... how about 7 million dollars for an easy fight
-
I am a big McGregor fan, but I think he was intimidated by nate. this could be the end of his run.
who coulda seen that coming? ;D

if you want you can go back and see what I said about ronda before her last fight and aldo before he fought conor.

lol I suck at predicting mma :P

Gain 25 pounds. Your balance is weak. You don't add 20% punching power with the 20% weight gain. You're slower. You don't react the same. He may control that body in a few months, but not yet. Looked awkward when he used to look graceful. Added a lot of useless fat and bloat. Probably used to feel awesome all day, and now feels constipated and bloated.

damn what an event!! Holly and Conor both got murked!! :'( :'(

Post fight interviews Conner was classy. Took the loss good considering. Said he's going back down to 145 to defend his belt and he'll take a look at 155. He thinks Diaz should get a title fight in 155 and maybe he will fight the winner of that...

Nice to hear. Maybe he's not a total asswad. Humbled is what he needed to be.
I look forward to Holly Holm showing Rhonda how one should deal with defeat.

Apparently, I should've bet the rent money. ;)
To be honest, it wasn't a good fight to bet big, as you didn't really know what you were gonna get from Nate because of the short notice.
Nate's reach is what makes the fight interesting. The "fighting midgets" is a fair criticism of Conor.
I wouldn't bet the rent money, but, I could see him getting a decision in a stand up fight, and a submission if he can get to the ground.

And my prediction for UFC196
Conor by tko vs diaz in round 1 or 2
It looked that way then Diaz warmed up and McGregor could hardly take it when he started getting hit with real punches.
Initiated a takedown out of desperation and got tapped out.
-
It's as if Diaz actually likes getting punched in the face. That's very rare. McGregor certainly doesn't like being punched. Diaz face was all bloody and he would smile at McGregor. That fucks with a persons head. That smile is basically telling him that he's no knocking anyone out and it's going to be a long fight... Tyson didn't like being punched in the face. Holyfield was like Diaz, he didn't mind being punched in the face...

Nobody knocks out the Diaz Bros

IMO, he should take a year off, come to the states and train with high level wrestlers and bjj players.
Ireland is a boxing country. I don't think he's getting enough high level training in the other disciplines.
Nate exposed the holes in his game. If Conor doesn't bring up his weaknesses, he's gonna have problems going forward.

remember Forrest fighting Tito? Stephan bonnar was on the mike. tito was ground and pounding forrest in the first round and everyone was thinking early stoppage. bonnar piped up and said
'don't worry, forrest doesn't even know he's in a fight until he's bleeding!!!'
he was right, the fight went the distance. diaz is crazy tough like that. a skinny mouthy white kid growing up where he did; he certainly learned how to take a beating.

With a name like Diaz you should see that they're not white.
They're mexican-americans! And they have chins to prove it with as well, compare with Gilbert Melendez and Diego Sanchez, other mexican-americans that are scrappy.

Disappointed connor lost the hype had me interseted again. That first round was incredible the size difference was just too much. Diaz is a tough fucker a lot of those shots would of put out other fighters down.

well he's a hell of a lot lighter than certain races. I was just trying to get my point across without sounding too racist. you gotta be careful on this site. and apparently my trepidation worked against me here.

conor was swinging for the fences first round. i mean, he always does, but usually the other guy goes down after a few connect. nate didn't.

Ah.
My mom's last name is Diaz as her father was Spanish/Filipino. I consider Spanish as White. The Diaz brothers seem White to me but people here don't consider the last name "Diaz" as White. Not sure why?
Either way, they are pretty White trashy and wigger thugs. Props to Nate for the win. I always underestimated both of them because they are just so scrawny and weak looking but they constantly prove me wrong.

Conor certainly been slapped down a bit. If he had beaten Nate Diaz I reckon he would have fought Robbie Lawler at UFC 200 but as it is looks like he'll be going back down to 145llbs and defending the featherweight title against Jose Aldo.
Dana knows this is the best way to milk the most out of Mcgregor but no way as lucrative as if he had kept his winning streak.
