Nate didnt land a punch, 3 knockdowns, bloodied up, limping bruised leg.

In boxing a single knockdown gives you a 10-8 round

Yeah khabib and RDA probably the worst risk/reward there. More so vs Khabib since that guy fights like Ben Askren pure rasslin
Conor has better stand up vs nate but god damn he needs to fix that gas tank of his

Blood does not mean a thing.

It was 34 SS vs 25 SS. And these Knock downs weren't real knock downs, it was more Diaz faking being knocked down so conor makes the mistake of going to the ground, Maia vs Silva style.

Dude, nate didn't land more than 2 clean hard shots the whole fight. Conors head movement was great and nate just kept tip tapping his face or grazed his head. Conor's head movement and stand up skills on a full tank of gas is so underrated, he was an amateur boxing champ people forget
Conor landed hard combos and straights but nate is just to damn durable, the KO was more a push to the face I agree

you mention blood doesnt meana thing then quote fucking significant strikes? get the fuck out, you arent even trying.

And no, Nate wasnt falling back to pull guard for fucks sake his face was a mess

Is it just me, or does Nate make fighters look bad? Conor didn't look great at all. Even in the first round when he dominated, he didn't look lightning quick or anything. Conor just looked calculated the whole time, he didn't do a single spinning kick or high kick like usual. Nate just turned the fight into a marathon. As somebody who thinks Conor is great for the sport, this fight worries me, I all of a sudden can't envision him beating Aldo again, let alone taking on RDA.

Since when are judges supposed to ignore SS and instead judge based on blood in the face?? Do you even know what the judges's criterias are?

conor vs diaz 3 will be for the light weight belt.

brilliant set up by dana.

edit: conor gonna be light weight champ by ufc 210 or something.

Is there no post-fight conference on youtube tonight?

^^ maybe after Dana is done jerking off to tonights results lol
170 might be conor's walk around weight for going to parties and shopping but defnitely not great as his fighting weight. I have a feeling 155 will just be perfect for both his quickness and stamina like in his 145 fights, but less suffering for the weight cut. 5'9 is just too short for WW, Conor is lucky to have Welterweight reach at 74, otherwise he'd be lucky to beat any top 5 in that division. He should just stay at 155 to 145

One of the greatest fights ever.

I was on Nate prefight but Conor won the fight clearly, imo. He might have lost the second half of the 2nd round, but before that he was just pummeling Diaz and also had a knockdown.

His performance in the 1st round and the beginning of the 2nd was simply flawless, Nate looked like he did not belong in there with him. Also he showed amazing heart and composure to stay in the fight and comeback after the beating He took in the 3rd. Solidifies his greatness to me.

Not really interested in seeing him kill Aldo again, but all the match ups against the top lightweights are fire, other than Khabib, who is just the nut worst match up. I think he destroys RDA .

connor gave a great postfight press conference

nate kinda disappointed me with some of the BS he said but I suppose that is expected from a diaz

yeah, pretty standart Diaz bro after a loss. :D They never take them very well.

I don't know what they are thinking, but as much as i dislike Eddie Alvarez he wont be a walk in the park for McGregor...
McGregor should really fire his conditioning trainer.
There is no way McGregor deserved a 10-8 round, the only reason he didnt get KD'd is because Nate was destroying him on the fence, so there was no place he could fall to. That being said, this is probably the fight of the year so far. Both guys are such beasts, absorbing all that dmg for 5 rounds - super sick ...

Edit: I jsut saw the cards http://www.mmafighting.com/2016/8/21/...vs-conor-mcgregor-2-scorecard-ufc-202

its Diaz that gets the 10-8 round, not the other way around, which is still undeserved imo, Conor s a sick beast to be fighting with a broken leg

That's a bit biased. Conor did a lot better conditioning wise compared to last fight. (Strategy plays into this aswell).

clearly his fighting weight is not at 170, he even admitted to it that he couldn't get any abs even when eating good (not garbage fatty food like the first fight). at 155 he'll definitely get the best of both worlds - heavy power, better endurance but no deathly weight cut

facepalm this is so dumb i feel my IQ dropping by replying... I know blood doesnt count, but signifcant strikes doesnt tell the story, otherwise we wouldnt need judges and would only count strikes, a light jab to the face is a significant strike the same as a power straight to the face that throws you on your ass.

The first round was absolute dominance, Nate got his face smashed in and he could barely walk and Conor made him look like he had no business being there in the cage, given the new UFC scoring rules that encourage judges to give 10-8 scores more liberaly the 1st and 3rd round should have been 10-8 rounds

I dont think he showed any improvement in cardio, he paced himself more but thats it, he still faded extremely early, halfway to the second round and there was no grapling, no clinching nor brawling to sap his energy, he gasses out of nowhere for no reason.

Cruz mentioned that his style might be too draining but come on... Cruz keeps constant motion jumping widely from place to place that seems way more draining, i dont see how Conors style could be draining at all
