It's funny. I rewatched Conor/Diaz 2 the other night. For as much of a heralded classic as it is, it's funny how both fighters looked like dog shit for the most part. Nate looked like what he was, a 19-11 journeyman who was injured going into the fight. Conor was on life support by the early minutes of the 3rd rd. The last half of the fight looked like two zombies having a pillow fight. It's not a exaggeration to say the Ferg has maybe the highest 5 Rd. work rate in the game outside of MM. what he did up in Mexico City still amazes me. If Conor tires, he won't be seeing Nate's little pillow slaps or whatever the hell he throws. He'll be seeing nasty elbows on the inside and all of the other crazy shit Ferg throws. I'm not saying that Conor couldn't be the first guy to ever KO Ferguson early on in the fight, but if he gasses anywhere close to what he did with Nate, it's not going to be pretty. Nate is not Tony Ferguson, I don't care what anyone says.
"Tony Ferguson is like little Diaz.....with fuckin elk blood running through him."- Joey Diaz lmao
