UFC 202: Diaz vs McGregor 2 - Page 12

conor should defend that belt 1st I agree.

I think I went 2,3,5 diaz but like it was pretty 50/50 on like 2 of those rounds at least

yea agree

Fight absolutely delivered. I actually don't want to see immediate rematch though, there are so many other good fights.

I kinda like draw... though I need to re-watch round 2.

Diaz fading in round 4 was surprising, thought he had it after round 3. McGregor also faded far more than I expected after round 1, I thought he looked like he was really pacing himself but I guess the output is still really high even with how much calmer he looked.

that broken foot might grant you that delay. Conor just landed harder shots in the rounds he won while round 5 where nate arguably won was closer
It was clear the damage to conor's was gassing out more than damage inflicted

Round 4 was an anomaly to me. Diaz must have punched himself out in the 3rd. He had Conor hurt badly and had to push the pace again.

imo diaz took too much punishment to claim a win really in such a close fight
-edit- and yea i agree diaz probably punched himself out in the third. mcg looked better than him for most of the round.

with the new rules that give more 10-8 rounds then 1st round should be 10-8 for sure.

What a great fight but im with many of you that I dont want an instant rematch, I want to see him defend the title or maybe fight Eddie Alvarez.


Im surprised how terrible Conors cardio is, he fought as efficient as possible he barely moved at all, there was no clinching, no brawling and he was already gassed by half the 2nd round, I think a grinding pressure fighter like RDA would absolutely destroy him

I bet "Not mcgregor inside distance" -125. I think it was a great bet.

1: conor
2: conor (really close but knockdowns, etc)
3: diaz
4: conor
5: diaz

hell of a fight... diaz's legs are gonna be hurting tomorrow

Conor def got the 4th. Surprising for sure that Nate gassed when Conor coulda been finished. Was hoping for judges to have judged r2 for Nates last 90 second dominance but yea longshot. Judges got the right score. I actually also agree that I don't wanna see the trilogy right away

wasn't surprised he broke his foot since Nate's camp obviously knew that was Conor's only way to counter nates pace. I think Nate was just too stubborn to adapt to it and cost him the fight. Props to Nate though, talking shit while already exhausted is a tough thing to do and a waste of air

I just hope Conor just moves up to 155 and vacates 145, losing there now undermines everything he's achieved and by beating Nate today it's tough to say he's dodging fighters who are clearly smaller than him. 145 aldo is not selling tickets, Frankie too boring, but at 155 you'll have:

*Conor vs Nate
*Conor vs Cowboy
*Conor vs El Cucuy
*Conor vs Alvarez
*Conor vs RDA
*Conor vs Khabib

The first four fights alone if he survives will probably create a billion in revenue with all the shit talking opponents there, if he loses he can always revisit whoevers lording it at 145 and beat the midget division. His win today vindicates him as a legit fighter at 155

conor will be a big favorite imo if they do the 3rd at 155

He has to dodge Khabib and RDA... terrible fights for him with little upside.

He should go straight for Alvarez imo, pretty vulnerable champ, good matchup for Connor and if he takes the belt it would be amazing for MMA

I think he was very "lucky" that Conor slowed down in the 2nd because that leg wouldnt have lasted longer, Nate didnt get hurt by any leg kicks past the 2nd round

I like Dallas Winston score of 47-46.... the judges were instructed to score more 10-8 rounds, Round 1 was absolutely 10-8 under new rules and Round 3 could very likely be 10-8 too.

Maybe i need to rewatch it but i disagree. Round 1 wasn't a 10-8 at all imo. But round 3 probably was one.
