Conor Haters are everywhere, not just on these boards...

[Dejustice]

Look, I am a huge MMA fan. I have always loved the diaz bros. They are what MMA is all about and they embody the true heart and soul of this sport and what it takes to be a fighter. But this Nate won crap is absolutely stupid. Respect to both fighters for putting on a show and one hell of a fight that is definitely up there with any of the all time fights. Conor Won this CLEARLY. Did he dominate? Hell no. Did Nate have his moments, and did nate have Conor where he wanted him? hell yes.

But, the fact is Conor clearly won rounds 1 and 2. Nates flurry at the 1:22 mark in the second does not over come 2 knockdowns and complete outclassing the first 3:38 of the round. Round 3 was clearly Nates, but he never really wobbled Conor, I just felt Conor was gassed and the pressure Nate was putting on him was really overwhelming him in that round. Round 4 was the difference where Nate clearly took most of it off and let Conor gain some momentum back. Conor won round 4 with more strikes and the bigger strikes. round 5 was meh on both sides with both guys not doing really that much and having moments. The takedown won it for nate, but had he not gotten it, tbh it very well could have been Conor's round. It was a clear 3-2 fight.

I see this stuff everywhere on FB and here that diaz was robbed or that diaz won this fight, or that the fight was really close. That isn't what I saw in any way shape or form. I saw Conor outclassing the bigger guy and landing all the big shots the whole fight. If Conor can up his gas tank, which at 155 i think will be a bit better, he eats nate up. I just can't get over how many people really thought this was that close of a fight. If it wasn't for it being Nate, and him being the damn warrior and savage he is, most fighters would have crumbled after getting blasted like he did. Just because Conor clearly won, doesn't diminish the savage diaz is. It really just shows us how good Conor can be. Can't we all just appreciate How great this sport is becoming and how good these fighters are getting, instead of creating stupid controversy?

He's a superstar. They always have haters even when they do shit right.

 

[Dejustice]

I don't get it tho. Don't we wanna see the right fighter win? Don't we wanna see bloody wars where fighters are giving it their everything? Why would we wanna cheapen it?

 

[J. Bernie Cunningham]

People see what they want to, and Conor made that even easier by running away a lot and ending the fight on his back.

But Conor's gonna have haters regardless, he's unlikable.

 

[Fight To Win]

You can have a differing, unpopular opinion on who won the fight while still respecting both fighters? It's possible.

Exactly. The man is very easy to dislike.

I am the first person to call out fighters when they are running, but that isn't running. That was resetting catching a breath and then going back at it. I don't considered nate to be scared for holding on to Conor to wear him out and use his size to his advantage. They were both implementing smart gameplans.

I dont think you can. Not in this instance. There are some fights out there that are very close, and could go either way. This was DEFINITELY not one of them. This was a clear cut Conor victory and anyone who doesn't think that is pretty clearly a hater.

If you say so bro. I think it's pretty crazy to think that close of a fight is clearcut. I would never claim there was no way Conor won that because that would be crazy. But it's whatever. The Conor fans gotta take what they can get and we'll see in the third fight.

If your back is facing your opponent and you're jogging across the cage, you're not resetting. It was a good strategy that pissed Nate off and tired him out, but it is what it is. And I say that as a Condit fan.

He won the fight, but he gave everyone who didn't want him to the reasons they needed to say he lost.

I am not a huge Conor fan, I am a huge MMA fan. I respect Conor, but really think he is cocky and arrogant and had hoped after the first loss it would humble him. I called the first loss and said rnc too. I knew diaz is a nightmare matchup for him and knew he would have to specifically plan to have a shot against him. I also said that there was only one was for him to win the fight, and it was exactly the way he did. The fight wasn't that close at all, like idk what you were watching.

I'm sorry but this is stupid. It was a split decision Conor won 3-2. Most people tuning in aren't hardcore MMA fans big on judging criteria. Thinking he lost doesn't make them haters it makes them people who interpreted an MMA fight differently than you.

No its not running, it isn't when Condit did it, and it wasn't when gus did it against jones. It isn't running to want to fight on your terms and not the other guys terms. Its called smart gameplanning.

If you say so man... I'm not begrudging you your opinion like you're attempting to with me. You can believe McGregor went out there and destroyed Nate if you want. That's your right. It's my right to think you're crazy for it.

I'm a huge MMA fan too, I don't automatically lose that just because you say so because I refuse to share your opinion. Sorry but it's true. I loved that fight and I scored it the way I scored it. It was razor close.

Why didn't he back up or circle then?

Call it good strategy all you want, I agree. That strategy was running though.

 

[wtkace**]

Because Conor willing to trash talk others just to sell fighter better which had cross the line of other fans. That's why he got a lot of haters. I'm not surprised most of the haters will jumps ship to support Also during their rematch.

Where did I say he dominated? Go read the original post. Maybe you need a reading comprehension class.

Eh you know exactly what I'm talking about and all the insults in the world won't mask that. You guys want to pretend McGregor won that fight by a mile. THE FACT is that it was close and could have gone either way. I'm going to continue having my opinion. You can continue having yours. I don't think you're right but it's none of my business. At best McGregor squeaked by. No decisive victory such as say a second round rear-naked choke.
