Conor lost because of bad strategy

[subhuman trash]

Conor has been tapped out plenty of times. He gives up just as fast as Sage Northcutt.

 

[BHR]

no he lost b/c he has no training partners he trains with a short bald fat guy who is already 0-2 in the ufc and 11-12 in mma

he thought he was god b/c he got a bunch of tkos by hand picked opponents

 

[Corporate Giant]

He lost because he has no business trying to fight at 170. He let his own ego go to his head and was humbled for it.

he fought a LW and they both agreed not to cut weight. that hardly constitutes a real adventure into the WW division. you're drinking the Dana Kool-Aid

You wouldn't be saying this if Conor had knocked him the fuck out. He came close too. Diaz just had more heart, and more pop in his punches than Conor expected. He deserved the win.

We relearned an important lesson tonight. Never go into a fight and try to bulldog knockout a Diaz brother. You will blow your wad and then get your bitch ass stockton slapped. McGregor probably has the ability to beat Nate but he went about it in completely the wrong way. I think he might have put some undue pressure on himself by saying he was gonna knock him out in the first, and how much great press he got for calling his last few fights.

 

[subhuman trash]

One-trick pony lost to a better fighter. Nothing new here really.

This right here.

It's why I love Conor though...he could have controlled the fighter with oblique kicks but he is a fighter and he chose to fight.

He couldn't. Diaz would've lit him the fuck up if Conor would've tried to win on points.

Conors only shot was to knock him out early. Nate ate his best shots, rocked him, turn him into a panic wrestler, then

 

[KlNG]

Did you watch the post fight interview. Are you not paying any attention? The wrestling had fucking nothing to do with the loss.

Just a joke fam. He brought up the whole ''Panic wrestling'' shit. I thought it was fitting considering what led to his loss.

yup, Conor played dumb. but let's also not forget his panic wrestling, ending on the bottom and then giving his back. very ugly second round for him

Wrestling had nothing to do with it. Nate already said the same in the post fight interview.

 

[thelegend2]

no, he got sucked into the diaz strategy. make you trow a lot, drag you into a war. once you get tired they break you down and finish you. conor threw a lot of grazing strikes and left hooks that clearly made him fatigued.

if he paced himself rather than rushing for the finish he might have won by a large margin.

hahahaha shut up silus, he tried a bad takedown and ended on the bottom

 

[LukeSkyRutten]

Don't over analyse. He got beat. There will be a rematch guaranteed.

 

[skysolo]

He lost because he pushed the Goku button... shouldn't have done that.

He should stay at 155-170. No one wants to see him beat on midgets anymore. Lets see if he can fight a fair fight in his own weight class. So far he is 0-1.

Nah not really. You could clearly see the size difference between the two. Conor looked quite a bit smaller in there.

 

[soulsstealer]

This is the plain and simple fact. He tried to out box Diaz, but was always going for the KO. What did Carlos Condit say? You cant knock a Diaz out but you can out fight them.

After Connor got Diaz hurt he should have stuck to leg and head kicks and worked a few punches in to make Diaz hesitant. This is proven OVER AND OVER to be the Diaz brothers biggest weakness. RDA proved it against Nate and Silva proved it against Nick. And he did it for a few seconds one of the push kicks buckled the knee of Diaz, but immediately afterwards started looking for the KO again.

It wasn't Conor that got into the head of Diaz, Diaz got into Conor's.

Conor doesnt fight like that tho, he tries to finish you

He can't, that's the thing. There is a reason he was cutting so much weight. RDA would have fucking murdered him.
