He looked like he had it won at one point as well, Diaz was running on fumes but he got too confident

Conor could only win this fight on the feet. Problem is Diaz was tough enough to take his best shots before getting his boxing going.

 

[FUME5]

All bullshit aside, I think McGregor is the rare fighter that will learn from this.

 

[Wallach]

I don't even like McGregor that much but it's crazy to call him out for tapping. Diaz had his back, flattened out and a fully locked in rear naked, and that was after he got put on the ground by getting his head beat in. Unless you want to sound like... well, like Nick Diaz in your early thirties you fucking tap.

 

[ldcommando]

see, this is why we have weight classes

Go back to empty belly, connor

 

[nib95]

He was already hurt and would have got knocked out. Nate has iron jaw and would have beat him either way.

No chance. You could see Diaz was hurting, especially on the cut which Conor kept poking. If Conor simply kept picking at him patiently he'd have been done. That one connect that rocked Conor, that he should have had his hands up for, just took it out of him. After that it was game over. It wasn't a lucky shot, but Conor was sloppy to let it connect. I mean, it wasnt exactly subtle or stealthy.

 

[BradC00]

That's not really the same, he was trying to hype a future fight with Aldo who he was flipping off in the crowd.

this was after he knocked out aldo...

edit: maybe not. I might be mixing shit up\

NOPE I WAS RIGHT

So...who's UFC got left to exploit now?

Wondeboy is the poster boy.

 

[scabro]

what did you think of Conor losing tonight?

 

[PureYeti]

EA Curse Continues!

 

[Epsilon-delta]

Someone is in denial. And Nate was fighting on 11 days notice.

No denial, just stating facts. Conor is the better boxer as his left hand was tagging Diaz all night.

Diaz winning doesn't prove your statement correct at all.

 

[Dmented]

I gained some respect for Conor this fight. Dude is def. legit in my eyes. Yes he lost to a less than 2 week trained Nate Diaz but prior to that he was lighting his ass up (in a weight class higher than he normally fights at). No ones unbeatable but more training and more experience makes better fighters. I can absolutely see him continuing to be a force in the UFC.

With that said, I did not expect Nate to win but really wanted him to. Good fucking job Nate!

 

[ramoisdead]

Damn it feels good to be a Dana.

Right about now.

 

[Brinbe]

Bwahahahahahahaha

 

[ChosenPredator]

the amount of times diaz bitch slap conor in the fight lol

 

[Spy]

I'll admit something in this thread now, I was born and raised and still live in Stockton.

 

[-MD-]

Wondeboy is the poster boy.

Yeah but they just idiotically sacrificed him to Rory.

 

[N7 MRP Weasel]

dammit got the jitters still - from the fight.... anyways awesome fight

 

[ZoddGutts]

That "cholo" just kicked his ass with just 11 days to prepare for the fight.

 

[SRTtoZ]

I'm glad Conor lost but he was busting Nate up pretty good. Conor was throwing too many bombs that didn't land and ended up gassing in the 2nd, good for Nate though, well deserved.

 

[Instro]

That, Joe Rogan is why people cut a shitton of weight.

Well at 5'9 he really shouldn't be fighting at welter. He definitely could hold up in lightweight though.

 

[blackaroni]

 

[OpinionatedCyborg]

I better not hear Conor talk shit about people with injuries anymore. He tapped like a bitch so fast. Holm went out like a pro.

Holm did tap. The ref didn't catch it and she went out shortly after.

 

[alr1ght]

I guess that means no GSP fight.

 

[Rivitur]

Wondeboy is the poster boy.

This and maybe they'll jump on the mightymouse train.

Nate was going to win by tko or sub. Conor was shooting for TDs cuz he was getting lit up on the feet.

 

[StylesClash]

Please don't bring Floyd into this...

 

[thefro]

I fucking told yall the second this was announced. Reach beats precision.

The Diaz brothers are pretty damn precise at boxing too. Conor was surprised he was getting tagged.

People be kidding themselves if they thought Connor had it won. Diaz would've been in his face all night.

Agreed, it would have continued to be a war had it went on.

 

[-MD-]

They're playing Conor ads lol.

 

[3N16MA]

Yeah but they just idiotically sacrificed him to Rory.

If he gets past Rory then everyone will board the hype train.

He's very good but all the hype was premature.

You have to do it for a long time before you should get that type of props.

Nah, Diaz is the better boxer. Conor's just faster. A lot faster.

They basically had a kickboxing match which Diaz won.

 

[SRTtoZ]

Haha dat curse

 

[YaGaMi]

I guess that means no GSP fight.

Don't think so. GSP would've ran through him literally.

 

[Fitts]

He's not.

Gotcha. So I guess Nick is better for not having won a fight since 2011 and playing right into that gameplan in the Condit fight.

Okay.

[GalacticToast]

LMAO

You could beat my ass.

 

[Angelus Errare]

oh my fuck lmao

 

[Lightning Count]

Not bad for a £5 bet, this will pay for Quantum Break and Uncharted 4.

“Conor thinks he’s the ninja? I’m the ninja. Ninja gaiden, American ninja, real motherfucking ninja."

 

[strikeselect]

Conor's style is most effective when he's the bigger fighter. Today he got a lesson on why weight classes exist.

 

[Guru-Guru]

Diaz better not fail any of the drug tests (for weed, of course). It would suck if this beating was changed to a NC, even if it really wouldn't change the fact that McGregor got choked out.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

We need a Dana version of the "My fucking ratings" Vince McMahon gif

 

[NomarTyme]

omg.

 

[LQX]

Fucking wow. Ha.

 

[jwhit28]

MMA as a sport feels so random.

Boxing = Street Fighter
MMA = MAHVEL

This is how Dana feels right now

Did you listen to his interview with Rogan? He's high as a kite!

 

[see5harp]

My bro had money on both upsets and came up big. Man if you had the parlay you probably could have won a grand for the price of a six pack.
