Can Conor last 5 rounds with Nate?

irishzombie said:
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 .

Anyone can get a KO. Bisping got one off Rockhold. But one thing about this fight is that Conor needs to prepare for it. He came off earlier like a man is a man and he'll take anyone on without preparation or even if he was injured. He gave so much shit to RDA for pulling out. He tried to express this invincible aura that he wanted everyone to believe he had. Well it didn't work against Nate! Need to prepare for that mountain, bro!

He can't go 5 rounds with anybody. He throws power shots to knockout in the 1st 2 rounds. He has no other game plan.

Besides, the longer a fight goes the more it favors the fighter who is multi dimensional and has more weapons. 5 round fights are bad for Conor even if he didnt gas

He grapple fucked Holloway in the 2nd and 3rd round. Conor is also a superior striker to nearly 99% of the UFC. Nate just might be a bad match up, but at least Conor now is training specific for him and knows he cannot go in there and brawl. He needs to be surgical. He has a speed and power advantage over Nate; he needs to utilize it the right way.
 
How is his chin suspect? He ate bombs from Mendes, who hits harder than Nate, I'm sure. Conor was spent. When you gas, you cannot absorb punishment and push through it.
 
He'd have to do something to hurt Nate's mobility, and keep him from constantly pushing the pace, otherwise no, I don't think he'll be able to last five rounds with Diaz.

It's not like he has the wrestling to keep him fighting off his back or pressed against the cage.
 
he can last five rounds
if he doesn't blow his wad
 
A lot of BS spoken here for the only answer...no.
He won't see the 3rd

Is that why he almost got knocked out by a journeyman lightweight fighter?

He has no bottom game whatsoever. It's embarrassing and years behind where it should be at this point in his career.

Someone's had a few too many Irish car bombs tonight.

HELL NO

but Conor can definitely knock out Nate--stay tuned!
 
Diaz via natural selection.

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.
