That was a nice finish by Ishihara.

 

[ironcreed]

Agreed, $20k fight money was criminal from the UFC.

The guy is just better than that. And I will not be one bit surprised if the big mouth gets shut tonight. And even though I love Conor, I hope it happens.

 

[parrotbeak]

Good first fight. Nice to see fast small guys with ko power.

 

[kinggroin]

Conor wins 37 seconds first round, ground and pound. Mark. My. Words.

 

[Aiii]

"I love you, my bitches"

Somebody got a laugh out of teaching him that without telling him what it meant.

 

[Allforce]

Wait so Diaz is getting 20K tonight and McGregor gets 10m+?

You'd think he'd negotiate a better payday since UFC was in a pinch to get an opponent ready for the event.

Diaz is making 500k and somethin from the ppv.

Nate has more of a jaw than that. No way.

 

[parrotbeak]

I'm gonna go with Diaz by sub in round 5.

No, that is the kind of money he was seeing in the past. Even though he has been around and has proven that he is one of the better fighters out there. Good on him for finally landing a solid paycheck.

 

[kinggroin]

At a 170lbs, Conor's nasty left will crumble Nate

 

[Allforce]

Ahh ok thanks for the clarification guys.

 

[ironcreed]

It's a fight, anything can happen. Even to Conor.

Ya, he wanted to say fuck you, my bitches.

 

[kinggroin]

Yeah but just saying that is boring man. Pick someone.

LOL, I already have. Way back in the thread and even last week. I am taking Diaz.

That was his last fight. He got 20+20 for the win bonus, his opponent got $30,000 for losing (eight fighters on the prelims had higher pay too). It came up because Conor told Nate to thank him for making him a millionaire.

 

[ldcommando]

second fight is up

And I´m picking diaz by flying gogoplata, fuck it

There is no way Connor is losing today, this will be over within 3 rounds.

Ha, no wonder.


Aight. Bet. Can't wait.

 

[alr1ght]

The craziest thing about this fight is Nate wasn't smoking weed in his off time.

 

[parrotbeak]

Really slick ground game. That was nice.

 

[ldcommando]

another finish in the second fight
we are off to a good start
and the next fight should be fireworks

 

[Aiii]

Fight pass prelims have been quite good so far.

 

[parrotbeak]

You know what that means. Main card is going to suck.

 

[Archaix]

The craziest thing about this fight is Nate wasn't smoking weed in his off time.

If we want to go back to the pay discussion we can analyze whether or not it would be worth it for him to miss a year to three of his career.

On that note, there aren't any bookmakers out there that will take a bet that includes a later No Contest ruling right?

edit: Fight Pass has Jim Miller vs Diego Sanchez, of course the pre-prelims are going to be good. I hear the winner of that fight gets a title shot in 2011.

 

[Aiii]

You know what that means. Main card is going to suck.

I was going to add that, but figured I would jinx it

 

[Hex]

I want to like Nate sometimes.
He is that uneducated slow kid, that should be the underdog that people pull for.
But god damn he is just a miserable fuck.
I am all for McGregor in this one, but I would like to see Nate put on a good show and get a good rub from this fight.

 

[ldcommando]

Sanchez x Miller is up

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Do you get credit/points from the judges landing slaps???

 

[ldcommando]

of course, it is humiliating

Both of the Diaz brothers are miserable fucks. There is being an ass for show like McGreggor and then there is just being an asshole and the Diaz brothers are the later. It doesn't help that they're really not as good as people think. Any time they've faced real talent they lose. Then of course they make excuses about it or whine and cry about losing.

 

[ldcommando]

1-1?

 

[-MD-]

1-1?

Yeah.

Yup. I've been tired of them parroting the whole Stockton Slap thing for a long time, but that's mostly just Nick. Nate seems alright. And he's gettin that paper so he's stoked

he's gonna buy a bunch of good shit with that money. good for nate. i'm still not tired of his antics (although I'm just a very casual follower of this company), he's hilarious imo.

 

[ldcommando]

shitty split decision incoming

 

[alr1ght]

Diego not looking like a stuck pig? WTF.

 

[Aiii]

2-1 decision for Diego.

 

[-MD-]

Ya Diego took it.

He fought pretty smart this time, used his wrestling and shit. I liked it.

Nate gonna have a two week party
His apartment's gonna be full of weed for years

 

[ldcommando]

just bleed gods are not pleased

 

[Aiii]

I am sure Jesus Christ is very concerned about UFC fighters health, Diego.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

So weird seeing Diego. Haven't seen him around in forever.

 

[Dazzler]

Hoping Diaz sets himself up by bankrolling a weed dispensary with his payday

 

[parrotbeak]

just bleed gods are not pleased

I don't remember seeing Diego fight not to lose before.

I'm convinced that rogan only owns black shirts

Dana cut a deal with Reebok for those.

 

[GankzyMcfly]

Diaz wins by submission...easy money
