UFC 246: McGregor vs. Cowboy - Page 2

don't understand how the layoff would impact his cardio ... he either improves it in training or doesn't but the idea of him not fighting having much to do with that is confusing

there will be no weigh cut related fatigue now as well

That's because fight cardio is way different from training cardio. Conor can last 18 rounds even in hard training (ive seen videos and he brags about it constantly) but in actual fights breathing is way heavier and harder to regulate, pressure is tremendous and there are zero breaks unlike in sparring. Conor fades sharply after the 2nd round and unless he manages it well or his opponent doesn't put it on him it just gets worse and worse. He got lucky Nate went HAM on him in round 3 of the 2nd fight thinking he'd get finished and surprisingly winded himself out as well which gave COnor enough time to get back on track. I honestly believe Nate could've easily won the rematch had he paced himself in the 3rd and not try to finish Conor.

People like Tony F and Nate who are naturally gifted with gas tanks are like Conor's opposite because his game relies heavily on hurting opponents early while he's got a full tank of gas

I mean Nate won the fight according to the majority of websites, judges screwed him imo too


I guess it makes sense on how your body reacts pumping blood in those two situations


Also seems like McGregor won the mental battle again ... just in a VERY different manner this time. I'm not sure Cerrone even realizes it

how did he win the mental battle? I haven't been following the prefight trashtalk

I've just seen the press conference and it might be a crazy idea. So Conor is actually NOT trash talking whatsoever, he s won the batttle by... making Donald think he s doing him a favor almost fighting him, I got to believe this cause of 2 moments during the press conference:
1) when a journalist asked Donald something along the lines whether or not Conor thinks he s basically a bum that he will smash ... except in a polite manner - Conor instantly start being loud and diverts the topic,hijacking the journalists moment to defuse the tension, Donald still gets to answer the question 30s later except its in a much different 'setup'

2)when they face off, Donald goes with a big smile and makes a funny joke like 'u re 1 inch shorter' - Conor s not playing any games and is pretty serious plus makes Donald take a few steps back, even though he is the bigger dude ...

When he talks about 'boxing title' does he realize that Canelo and Golovkin are the two guys that dominate all weights he's compatible with and they will both absolutely take his soul out in a boxing match lol

$1800 slot machine win.

As for my bets on this card, my only serious bet thus far is $200 on Fili +120. I have several small fliers on props and stuff.

I'm looking to add $100 to Holm. Just waiting to see if her line improves.

nice win

barber got exposed pretty hard

give this russian a glass o water ffs lol

Barber is so bad when she isn't dominating her opponent.

Great job by Roxanne.

I ended up +$194. Two fights I wanted to make another couple hundred on were canceled, so that sucks.

dumb fight

damn Cerrone basically lost in around 5 seconds

How much was the difference in weight just before the match? (not the weight in 24 hours before)
