I noticed that not only did Connor get thrashed at striking distance. The clinch is what mad him gas. Diaz was moving him at will. Look at the hand fighting. Diaz was setting him up for knees and punches effortlessly. I see why he gave up. NO gas, outstruck, man handled in the clinch, knee buckling Stockton slaps, and shit talking demoralized that man. Diaz is not strong. Dos Anjos and any other grappler could maul Connor easily. Pettis would pick that man apart and turn him to a wrestler again. I don't want to hear weight was issue when they both fought at lightweight before. Connor had no heart and knew a submission looked better than a KO! Who agrees?
 
Knee buckling Stockton Slaps?

Conor also might have just been lost in the clinch strength doesn't matter if you can't use it right
 
And it's not like Nate is particularly known for his clinch game... I don't think Conor should try to challenge RDA for the time being.
 
Glad you're able to compare the strength of Diaz vs. RDA from your chair.
 
I agree that he is richer than every Sherdogger that is on here damn near COMBINED! so I am positive he could give a rats ass about your opinion. Its just entertainment and he is entertaing us to the max. CONGRATS CONOR FOR FOLLOWING YOUR DREAM! Nice acting work too cause you got as many haters as followers. But they all wanna see you fight!

The Conor fans use Conor's money as their defense lol. Anyone else notice this trend?

Nate made a bunch of money too all while crushing Conor's aura and potentially crippling his future numbers he does.

Casuals like dominate champs. Mayweather , GSP etc . Things don't go as well as they can be with losses.
 
he was winning the stand up for the most part

Nate just switched gears in the 2nd and used his energy efficiently
 
I hate to say it because Conor at 155 is so much more fun with all the potential matchups, but I was also shocked at how physically weak he was at LW against on the weaker guys in the division. RDA, Khabib, Ferguson, Alvarez, etc....he wouldn't get anywhere near the title at that weight. And to boot he's not good on the ground.
 
Cloner needs to rock people for his style to work. He doesn't dictate range with kicks in a traditional manner. He throws spinning shit and spams his left hand and utilizes his reach over smaller guys to bully them. At 155 his power doesn't translate the same and his chin can't hold up. I don't have high hopes for him at 155 anymore, honestly. If he can't hurt someone to start, he's going to be dealing with clinch work and wrestling from bigger guys who have a huge ground advantage on him.

Time to start cutting to 145 again, Cloner.
