Conor doesn't have that type of fighting style which is why I don't think he will beat Nate as Nate is nearly impossible to finish.
Thomson caught Nate and finished him, so there is a chance, you never know..
Conor won't make it 3 rounds. He is expecting Nate to be slow like a MW. He is still going to try and tee off and get the win in the first two. He'll blow his load, if he even gets a chance to. I think Nate will overwhelm Conor from the beginning this time. His volume punching is too much for Conor. His ground game is so much better than Conor's that it will again be a quick tap if it goes there.I have no doubt Nate can last 5 rounds and go to a decision with Conor but can Conor last 5 rounds? Nate's chin held up like it usually does in the 1st fight and it didn't look like Nate got rocked hard once by Conor.
Conor however has shown to have below average cardio and a suspect chin. He immediately started backing up after he got hit by a clean 1-2 and then turned into a panic wrestler after he took a couple of more hard shots to the head.

Anything can happen in mma I guess but KOing Nate in 1 or 2 rounds is a hell of a challenge. Even Rory couldn't do it and he was rag dolling him.
He's only been KO'd once and Conor throwing everything but the kitchen sink in the 1st fight and still not rocking Nate once isn't a good sign. Even though Conor keeps saying Nate was close to being finished.
Thomson is also a legit LW. Maybe he has more behind his kicks.
Also Thomson has some crazy ass cardio.
But he hasn't lost a fight where he doesn't worry about the takedown threat IIRCPeople forget Nate's lost 10 fights lol, he is a great fighter but nobody is unbeatable or an impossible stylistic matchup
Shut your stupid ass up. Your username gives away your retarded bias. Diaz is gonna make your boy his bitch again and you'll go back into the same hiding place you went into after March 5th.Conor was only another big shot or two away from dropping Nate in the first . If he can do what he did in the first fight with a little more effecincy in his shots he can stop Nate in a round or two .. I don't believe Nate was not training for the first fight as he admitted he knew the RDA fight was not going to happen and he admitted they were trying to get him to fight Conor for weeks . He used the weight issue to his advantage as he probably felt he didn't have a chance against Conor if he had to cut a load of weight . Now Conor knows who he is fighting and has more time to get ready for the extra weight . All it takes us one big shot from Conor and he can get a KO .
Thompson would beat the fucking brakes off of Conor McGregor on the feet, from the inside, from the outside, in the clinch or on the ground. Moreover, Conor doesn't have the same style that gives Nate fits like Thompson does.
