The second round was an absolute blowout for Conor. Anyone who possibly gives this round to Diaz, especially after seeing this post, is mentally ill. There's no possible way for a person of sound mind to look at the slow motion footage I'm about to present, and come away with the conclusion that Diaz won this round. Those that do so, have been fooled by roid head brain-pill addict Joe Rogan who seems to be having both auditory and visual hallucinations; shouting "OH! HE HURT HIM!" when a shot misses or a fighter slips, as well as remaining completely silent and failing to comment on actual haymakers that are landing, despite having a 1080p screen literally 10 inches from his face.
I have compiled all the landed strikes from both fighters in round 2. Yes, you don't see much Diaz in the following clips, because he barely landed anything. I'm being objective here, go back and watch the fight yourself and find a clean strike that landed that I've not included in this post.
The round begins with Conor landing a leg kick.
Conor lands a perfect left, drops Nate to the canvas.
Conor lands a left counter before knocking Nate down a second time.
Conor lands another leg kick.
Diaz lands a jab to the body as Conor lands a left counter.
Conor lands another leg kick.
Conor almost immediately lands ANOTHER leg kick.
Conor lands a right hook and another leg kick.
Nate lands another body jab but it is countered with the left from Conor like earlier in the round.
Left hand counter from Conor, Nate follows up with a body jab which is blocked.
Yet another left hand counter from Conor.
TWO hard leg kicks from Conor.
A combination from Nate, three shots are blocked but lands a clean left at the end.
Conor lands a HUGE elbow, I'm surprised more people aren't showing this clip, it's one of the biggest shots in the whole fight.
Nate blocks a liver shot from Conor, but Conor follows up by landing a leg kick.
Conor throws a leg kick, but gets caught with a stockton slap, knocking him off balance. Nate then follows up with a right, Conor dodges a couple of punches but Nate lands one more clean.
Pitter-patter punches in the clinch.
Nate misses a few, lands one clean, Conor counters, Nate follows up with another clean punch to Conor's face.
Two knees to the body from Conor.
Nate ends the round by landing a clean right hook.
As we can see from this footage, Conor not only knocked Nate down twice, but he landed the harder shots, and outstruck him in TRUE significant strikes by around 4 to 1. Fightmetric stats are bunk, as I have stated before. Under their rules, pitter patter punches in the clinch are the statistical equivalent of flush bombs to the jaw. This is ludicrous for obvious reasons.
Nate did land a few clean punches against the cage, but most missed or were blocked, and the ones that did land, were nowhere near as hard as the punches Conor landed in the round. Round 2 was not even close. If anything it was a 10-8 for Conor. Rogan's bad eyesight + incorrect commentary + hype + the noise from the crowd is NOT a substitute for actual effective striking.
If you catch someone trying to claim that "round 2 was close" or "Nate won round 2" or "Nate had him in loads of trouble against the cage" or "Conor was saved by the bell", please link them back to this post so they can be thoroughly owned by incontrovertible slow motion footage. The footage doesn't lie.
