* Rumor: Conor v Diaz III slated for Dec 30th !

[AdamantiumPimmel]

It better be under special rules! No time limit!

 

[TIMELESS TRUTH]

Only noobs are excited about this...

 

[VAfan]

literally not watching if this happens.

 

[1.11]

Hopefully this time Diaz will check leg kicks and not stand in front of McG like a punching bag.

 

[LuchaBear]

His last two fights were a second round spectacular RNC win where he boxed up Conor and then ran through him on the ground, and a follow up fight that was a entertaining 5 round war.

Immediately prior to those two fights, he put on arguably the best fight of his career beating the brakes off Michael Johnson.

Before that he cartoon first round KO'd Gray Maynard.

Those are his last four for crying out loud what else do you want for exciting?

We are talking about NICK you idiot.

 

[ShogunsKnees]

Mcbooger still concussed though

 

[A.S. Deep]

It better be under special rules! No time limit!

Plus openweight. So Nate can truly come in 3x the size of Conor.

 

[rjmbrd]

We are talking about NICK you idiot.

You sound well adjusted.

The thread title is 'Conor v Diaz' so its hard to imagine how that may have been confused.

Lol.... Maybe you need to "adjust" your reading comprehension because I was replying to someone who said...

The only good that can come out of this is the off chance that it persuades Nick to come back to fighting, seeing how his brother is making mills.


Diaz vs. Perry 2018.

 

[TheRassler]

The Diaz bros are considered like greatest pure warriors and martial artists by mma fans, but they only fight for money.

Nothing wrong with that, but that myth has to end.

C'mon bro, how many fights has Nate had inside the UFC before Conor, and was still making peanuts??

Total Career Earnings: $4,101,000

Look at all of those wins and bonuses he had to earn just to make his "show money" look less like a joke.

Nate was getting paid peanuts just to show up to fight for all those years, it's about damn time he gets paid.

 

[ImLovinIt]

Only way i approve of this fight is if its for the belt

 

[rjmbrd]

Lol.... Maybe you need to "adjust" your reading comprehension because I was replying to someone who said...

I know, that's why it was odd that you lost control and overreacted.

Cheers

 

[Russ82]

I hope it happens. Tony gets flattened in one round by Conor and so does Lee. Diaz will be really competitive.

 

[Mixedfights]

Total BS if true.

Fuck that.

 

[LNwolf87]

I have no interest in this fight. They've already fought twice, both contests being entertaining. From a realistic competition perspective, Nate Diaz has been on the sidelines waiting for this pay day to return and hasn't earned a lightweight title shot during that time. Conor Mcgregor has yet to defend his lightweight title since he has won it last year. Since then he hasn't fought under mma rules because of the birth of his son and his boxing match with Floyd mayweather.

The only reason this fight might be made before Mcgregor defends his belt against the number one contender is purely for the amount of money this event can generate for both diaz and McGregor. I wished that mother fucker would fight ferguson already.

 

[Zefram Cochrane]

Hopefully this time Diaz will check leg kicks and not stand in front of McG like a punching bag.

If it's his retirement fight and he's in it only for the money, what do you think?

 

[1.11]

If it's his retirement fight and he's in it only for the money, what do you think?

Diaz will retire as Lightweight champ.

 

[Zefram Cochrane]

Diaz will retire as Lightweight champ.

Not if the fight is at catchweight because "oh, he's tree times the size of me and we don't believe he could make 155, but I'm willing to step oop again"

 

[gunlok]

"Lightweight division's on fire, Joe"

 

[Fedorer13]

while it would be bullshit, you're out of your fucking mind if you dont think that'd be a fun as hell main event

It would be awful. We know what will happen. Conor will completely outclass Nate with standup unless he gasses. While he's gassed Nate has a shot to win.

No one needs to see that shit again.
