it would be a No Contest
I would not wish that upon Conor. First of all Nick has great cardio and we've seen conor twice at 170 and he gassed out completely in the first fight and faded in the rematch. And it's not like Nate was bullying him trying to wear him out with size. Conor gassed himself out trying to knock Nate out which he couldn't. I don't think he could KO Nick and Nick COULD bully him with size. Or he could just outlast him by dragging him into the proverbial deep waters. I'm not a Conor fan nor a hater. He's great at FW and LW but he would absolutely have no business fighting Nick at 170. He just has no path to victory.Just ffs, let's go back and pretend Mcgregor fought Nick instead of Nate at 196. A few questions,
-Would Conor have accepted a short notice fight with Nick instead of Nate at 170?
-Would the result have been much different?
-And say if he did go on to lose, would he have been "obsessed" to get a rematch with Nick?
Personally I feel if this happened Nick would of brutally TKOd him, and if a rematch did happen I don't think anything would of changed.
If this happened, no dual championships for Mcg, no mayweather fight, and he most likely would of had to go back to 145.
Just a random thought that popped in my mind so plz don't take anything too seriously, just fun to think how different things coulda changed for today and tomorow, Was Nick on suspension at that time? I would imagine Nick would of been the bigger money fight also if that was an option.
Agree 100% here. I think in the first fight Nick peppers him on his feet then beats him like Daley when Conor gasses. The 2nd fight although Conor may have better cardio this time still gets beat. Honestly probably worse the second time around.Nick would have gotten the TKO both fights
Nick is 5'11.25 at most Nate is 6'0.5Also he's not bigger, I saw both in person in Vegas and Nate is noticeably bigger.
