People are so quick to start shitting on someone once they lose..overrated, hype train derailed and so forth..this fight was a low reward high risk for Conor..he could of pulled out of the card, but he risked losing his title shot against a very game and dangerous opponent.
I thought he looked good, I didn't think he was going to be so dominant striking with Diaz but that could of been due to Diaz's lack of preparation. His never weigh'd this much in a fight, not sure if it was the mass, Diaz landing some shots, the volume of power punches or neglecting cardio that caused him to crash in round 2. Obviously he showed a few holes in his grappling ability, but was that really a huge suprise ? I hardly think he was 'exposed'.
I still think sky is the limit for Conor, it's relatively early in his career and it's possible the guy may have success in three separate divisions at the highest level. People seem are quick to forget that he knocked out a p4p great in under 20 seconds...it's entirely possible he has already reached his ceiling, but I'd be saving the insults or throw away comments until he is retired and we actually know what he was capable of.
