Your math is kind of shitty.
Neither Diaz fight was for a title. Conor is 3-0 in title fights in the UFC.
Let's check his fight history and see what we get...

What era?
A champ's era is defined by his first successful title defense.
Conor has no title defenses, he has no era.
My life is objectively better than yours.Conor made a lot of posters here believe in conspiracy theories and get emotional in threads. Not his fault you guys have nothing meaningful going on in your lives lmao
Fact.<45>
Blah blah blah title defenses. DJ has 10 defenses and people still don't take him seriously. lolWhat era?

Conor took the fight at 170 because Nate couldn't make weight, Conor has balls and didn't even have to take the fight. It was a risk considering his rise and fame.
You don't seem to understand the term styles make fights. Nate has durability, height/reach, and the boxing to counteract Conor's strengths.
You are a Conor nuthugger and not a fan of mma. Fuck youConor had Just KOed Jose Aldo in 13 seconds and become the UFC featherweight champion. He was undefeated in the UFC. He was basically untouchable having KOed everyone but 1 opponent. Then he decided to fight RDA at lightweight. I have no doubt in my mind he would have KOed him even worse than sloppy Eddie did. He would have become 2 weight world champion WITHOUT fighting Nate Diaz at 170 twice. But RDA pulled out last minute. I partly blame conor for fighting someone much larger on 11 days notice. He should have just waited for RDA.
Conor would still be undefeated in the UFC and be the Featherweight and lightweight champion. He then could have either defended the Lightweight or featherweight belt, or retire on top and be a legend. Then go box mayweather and leave the game rich. Fuck RDA.
I was not arguing whether Nate is or isn't a tough matchup for Conor; I was saying Conor picked him as an opponent and the weight he wanted to fight at - then he lost and came up with some of the most epic excuse making job in the history of mma.
I believe in flatulence after beansI believe in life after love

According to eddie bravo, his ground game Is solid. I'd trust his word over the average fan. Obviously Nate is a wizard on the ground though and he's a legit blackbelt. Getting rolled on the ground against him doesn't necessarily mean his jits is weak. Obviously there's levelsNaw I'm glad I can forever say that Conor's weak ass ground game was exposed by nate...making him 2-1 in his last 3 title fights.
Awe inspiring? Nope.
Preferential treatment to get his hands on two belts? yup!
it's fine you're a fan of conor, but let's not be retarded here.
Saying Conor's ground game is bad is off the mark but saying it is solid is off the mark as well. It is incomplete and unrefined. He doesn't train for it. It is never part of his plan to go to the ground. He trains for one aspect of the ground game, escapes.According to eddie bravo, his ground game Is solid. I'd trust his word over the average fan.

He's been known to walk around pretty light while In camp @ lightweight. Eats mostly raw vegan, very little animal food or anabolic / building foods and restricted calories. Take a guy on an extremely restricted diet and feed him some meat, carbs, calories and he'll blow up pretty fast. Can attest to this from experience.this is from that exact same article: "While Diaz admits the difficulty of competing at 155 pounds, the fiery Stockton, Calif., native said he cut less than 10 pounds in the final weeks before the Monday fight. Nevertheless, Diaz said he felt drained after three rounds."
he's even quoting to cut the same he always does, which was 10lbs... for a lightweight fight.
i'd agree he probably cut something up to 10lbs in the second fight. this whole shitstorm of a debate was over the first one, though. and when you weigh 2lbs under the limit, on 10 days notice, you aren't cutting shit more than a sauna trip.
