Conor McGregor OWNED By Nate Diaz But Why?

I can think of two reasons. One he fought out of his weight class because of his big ego looking out of condition. Second he has just about zero ground game. He needs to work on his ground game or be exposed if he doesn't get the job done with his outstanding striking ability.

I think that Conor was hurt from some of the punches that Nate landed when they were on their feet... when he shot for the takedown, Conor was not himself. He was rocked at that point, and he never fully recovered

Nate has very long reach/arms, great boxing and a Mexican chin, ie he cannot be knocked out and can withstand alot of punishment.

Hits that conor connected with would have put several other fighters out, but not Nate.

Conor did not expect that.

He faught a bigger guy. Said it himself even. No excuses. Realitycheck...

Kind of funny his head got so big he said he'd fight even heavyweights. Rhonda also got so bigheaded for a while she said she would fight men in her weightclass  ::)

Yeah his head got too big, he thought he could handle heavyweights just because he thought he handled Mountain.

"Guy is 7 feet and i folded him", he said in an interview.

What he didn't realize was that Mountain went easy on him and not 100 %.

"It was a lot of fun," McGregor said. "That's a big man -- 6-foot-9, 400 pounds. And I still folded him up."

Nate was bigger, taller, longer reach, with great boxing and an iron chin that Conors earlier opponents didnt have.

He lost because he's an idiot and his corner.

Know your opponent and plan accordingly. Diaz is slow, great stamina, great will and chin. Don't stand and throw bombs and hope he falls. The cut he opened on Diaz was his downfall cause he got punch crazy and blew his load. His game plan should've been pot shotting Diaz. .in and out. Break him down slowly and rack up rounds, make him come to you and use your legs. Look how Josh Thomson owned Diaz....you don't fight stand up wars with those boys.. .plays right into their hands or you better have some amazing stamina to keep up that attack.

I agree. In and out. Do damage and pace yourself. I mean McGregor WAS winning...like you said he was trying to hard to put Diaz away..plus McGregor was NOT in the same shape as he usually is at a lighter weight. That extra weight slowed him and ultimately took away from his stamina

I saw that, too. Fucking ridiculous.

He didn't lose because of size or gas. He lost because he fought a more complete MMA fighter.

This is the "Movement" he needs to learn. It's called wrestling.

He threw everything he had at Diaz.. Nothing phased him.. He was completely gassed by the end of the 1st round.. Nate started landing on him and connor didn't like the way those punches felt lol.. Diaz could have kept it standing and would have knocked out connor .. But decided to end it while the opportunity was there.. Connors ground game is awful.. Mendez showed that.. It looks like connor will stay fighting " the midgets " as Diaz stated lol.. Remember also, diaz took the fight on 11 days notice.. He was training for a triathlon ..

He lost because diaz is very very durable and although he bkoodies up easy he can take serious punishment, he didn't get the distance right and blew his wad punching diazs arms, and he is not in the same league as the Americans on the ground, no Irishman ever will be, we don't have wresting over here and bjj is relatively new

I wonder how Mcgregor would do if he stayed in Vegas for 6 months and trained with Frank Mir in order to improve his BJJ

No doubt he'd improve but I still think the Americans training bjj since their teens would take him on the ground, it's well and good being a top striker but in mma if you can't wrestle or work on the ground you'll be found out. I still reckon his strength will be enough to overwhelm all but the greatest grapples at 145,but not 170. At 155??? I don't think they could take his offense standing but the likes of dos Anjos, khabib, Tony Ferguson might molest him. On the ground

You "think" the punches hurt him? Haha. Hard hitting commentary there.

Guy had no business going to that weight class. Diaz is not the best ever or anything either. Mac got played.

funny thing is nate fights at 155    this is just ufcs bullshit trying to play down connor getting beat.

he just didnt cut 25lbs thenight before he is always 170 on the night of the fight.

Both Nate and Conor's proper weight class is 155. The latter dieted down hard to make 145 and was much bigger than his opponents.

Here's how he looks standing next to the 155 champ. Conor even said he was a physically bigger man thuan Dos Anjos.

"Mac" played himself with his big mouth. Listen to the pre fight pc where he said he could beat anyone in any weight class.  Then he loses to a guy who had no camp at all and ten days notice.

This is a very underrated position in MMA.

Amateur wrestlers use it to set up a leg attack or bodylock, but, in MMA (or the street) it can be used to pin your opponents' head to the fence and then deliver strikes. It was right after this sequence when things went downhill for Conor.

How about he got owned because his striking game is good, but nowhere near as good as he thinks it is. The odd movements he has integrated are cute, but that didn't stop Nate from hurting him during that second round.

Also, his JiuJitsu game is very amateurish. With enough time and practice, he WILL become better. Nate's JiuJitsu is very strong, always has been.

I will say that his comments after losing were commendable. He showed great control and was humble.

Indeed.

I was impressed that he showed up to the post-fight press conference. He was dressed in a suit. And he was honest and composed. He showed a lot of character.

That's because he has been preparing to lose for a while now.  He knows he isn't half as good as the game he talks.  Conor couldn't care less about winning and losing or a legacy or any of that stuff, he is simply a money man, that's all he wants from the fight game.  He has simply been talking himself into fights, the luck of the Irishman was bound to run out sooner or later.

It's not a new concept. Videos are the new pictures of today. My lady friend showed me her instagram and a lot of those people just post video clips of themselves and sometimes they just walk on the streets while recording a selfie video, but not say a word, not even a sound, just recording as one walks, sometimes with added background music... it is what it is :D

Good point.

That is the reason that he hustled to find a replacement when Aldo & Dos Anjos got hurt. Most fighters would just wait a few months and wait for their original opponents injuries to heal.

Conor knows that time is limited. He wants to earn his money.

Mendes and Diaz made cash too.
