I saw that I wonder how he thinks he is going to fill those holes in a few months time. He doesn't seem to have the same power at 170. It's just physics I don't think he is big enough. I Hope he does well I love his warrior spirit.

Not sure what Dana is thinking they could ruin his career.

my guess is they will have the rematch at 155. Probably will be the same result...

If you look at what occurred in the first round and the damage Nate already had, I wouldn't say it was a foregone conclusion that Nate will win again.

He only took that damage to get his timing. Once he timed Mac it was lights out. Diaz boys think with their faces...

There was no timing involved, connor just gassed out, and nate capitalized and stunned him (easy to get hurt when you are gassed) . Rest is history

And Nate was the one on ten days notice and did not gas.

Diaz is a bad matchup for McGregor. It will be even worse for Conor when Nate gets a full camp, he'd be far better off dropping back to 145 and fighting Edgar.

Yeah, getting punched in the face like never before tends to make you tired.

McGregor vs Diaz kinda reminds me of the PRIDE FC days. No ducking or dodging opponents. No fear.

Unfortunately, most fighters in the UFC don't have Mcgregor's bravery

I admire McGregors willingness to fight anybody at any weight but I think it's too soon.

Now what I would like to see next year is a Diaz brothers headling
Nick vs Silva and Nate vs McGregor

Might be same out come but he will be better prepared for it next year.

I think ufc200 should be vs Edgar

Walter Sobchak · « **Reply #12 on:** March 19, 2016, 08:46:04 AM »

UFC 200 should be McGregor against one of the two fucking coward Brazilians.

And if whichever Brazilian is chosen drops out two weeks before the fight....automatic two year ban. No ifs, ands, or buts.

Walter agrees with Walter.

conor isn't going to be swinging for the fences every two seconds, so who knows what will happen

smart choice imo, wasn't expecting it

if conor wins the hype train is bigger than ever

This. Then again Diaz next fight will be a much bigger draw than it was before. McGregor will make millions no matter who he fights.

The Abdominal Snoman · « **Reply #21 on:** March 23, 2016, 04:54:20 PM »

Wow! Looks like the fight is going to be at 170 again and not 155.

It will be the same. If Connor doesn't stop to train "touch-butt" and learn some solid ground game he will have no chance. At 170 he hasn't enough power to put Diaz asleep. Conor should fight Franky. If he loses again against Diaz, his career is pretty much over. If he should loses also at 145 he can start to Play golf and enjoy his life with all the money he has made.

It's all about milking as much money as you can and I think Conor and the UFC are thinking if he loses again to Nate he can always drop down to 145lbs. If he goes straight to 145 and loses they've lost out on one massive fight/payday.

Losing again won't make much of a difference. He will still be able to pull massive money in for his fights. 50% watch to see him lose 50% watch to see him win.

If he loses - he can say he never backed down from a rematch going up to 170lbs and if he wins he will have the bragging rights.
