Nate said he'd cut to 155. I believe he wanted more money though. It was Conor who wanted it at 170.

You're wrong. He first agreed to 155 but wanted more money.:

Speaking to ESPN.com, Diaz did go more into detail on how the 170-pound fight was made. He said he was originally willing to drop to 155 pounds, but prolonged negotiations and other circumstances eventually had him standing firm at 165. McGregor ultimately suggested the bout simply be fought at 170.
"The first day [UFC] called and said it was going to happen, I was like, 'All right, I'm going to go work out and try to get this weight down,'" Diaz said. "I agreed to 155. I went through a hard day of training. I stopped eating. I had a mission ahead of me.
"Later that night, several things were going on. UFC said, 'If you don't take the fight under these circumstances, we're not calling back.' I said, 'If you aren't calling me back, I'm going to dinner, and things will be different tomorrow.' They called the next day, and I'm like, 'All right, now I'm only fighting at 165, and that's your fault.'
"I don't have the sparring you need for a fight. Now I'm going to deplete myself, too? I was with it, then they started messing around with the whole situation."

Dominates the #1 p4p fighter in the sport in 13 seconds. The 155 pound shot was well deserved. Frankie is a weaker figher in comparison to RDA. Then instead of pulling off the card with the late notice change (like 99% of other fighters would do) he SAVES the card by taking on Nate Diaz at WW.
You have no legitimate reasons to hate the guy. It must be something else. Like I said, you're insecure.

How would you know 99% of other fighters would pull out? You needed to pull that stat out of your ass. I give Conor credit for taking a fight but he chose Diaz because he and the UFC figured he was the biggest name fighter they could get to pad his record and who wasn't training for a fight. And yes, Conor ducked Edgar. I don't believe Conor wants to fight at FW again at all. Even his own coach says it's painful and unhealthy for him.

Nate Diaz regarding the first fight:
"He's fighting a LIGHTWEIGHT and he's getting all this praise and I'm over hearing it."
Nate claims to be a LW. You claim that he is a WW. Only one of you have any direct insight and subsequent credibility on the matter. Can you guess which one of you it is?

Nope still dislike him. Hoping nate hands him another whooping
Caught the top FW in 13 seconds. People get flash KOed. It happens. You can't say he dominated him when they both just landed one punch.
Yes, Frankie is a weaker fighter than RDA, but Conor ducks him because he has nothing to gain, but everything to lose (the belt). He agrees to fight RDA because the opposite is true.
There are plenty of examples where fighters take on late replacements. Truth is that Conor didn't think Nate actually posed a threat.
I hate Conor because his fans are annoying and he is turning MMA into boxing/WWE. Just defend your belt against the top challenger at your weight class. If you want to move up to LW, don't lose to the 5th ranked fighter in that weight class. And if you do lose, go back and defend your belt before taking on other fights at different weights. That's a legitimate reason not to like him. Same reason I don't like Rousey. Rebelling against the ridiculous UFC hype machine and accompanying nuthuggers.

Conor fans are world class turds, but Conor sucks too though. I like John Kavanagh, but Gunner and Artem and that goofy movement motherfucker seem like they're turds too. You know what? Dee seems like a turd too. Did anyone see her grab Uriah when him and Conor had that altercation backstage? Uriah should have smacked Conor and then smacked his bitch too. Send her back to Ireland with a black eye, courtesy of TAM, bitch.

I'm claiming that he is a LW/WW, clearly he's willing to fight either. Nate Diaz isn't the brightest bulb on the tree, but you go ahead and keep thinking you're right.

So by your make-believe logic, Conor is a FW/LW/WW He's fought at all three.
BJ must be a FW/LW/WW/MW/LHW and HW when not in training for a fight.

Willing to fight at WW is different than actually being a WW. Conor is willing to fight there. Is he a WW?
Nate has fought the vast majority of his career at LW. He fought at WW enough to test the waters and realize that he would be giving up way to much size and strength to be consistently effective there so he returned to his NATURAL weight class at LW.
But I'm sorry, you are right. Clearly you know more about Nate's true weight class than Nate himself. I'm starting to think that you are just yanking my chain. No one could be this dense.
You are actually trying to argue that you know more about Nate's true weight class than Nate himself. I can't even type that without laughing at you.

1. Who would you wanted to have got the title shot when McGregor did? Aldo's five fights before McGregor were Mendes (x2), Frankie, Lamas and Korean Zombie. Who was the right person to give the title shot to at that point in your opinion? Do you think the fan-favourite Irishman who's knocking everyone out in the division might be a reasonable shout?
2. You can say a lot of things about McGregor but that he's 'ducking' people is easily the least true accusation made at him on here. The guy fights like he talks... no doubt about that. From almost the moment he got to the UFC he was aiming at the top and relentlessly called out/bullied/embarrassed the P4P#1, 10-year-unbeaten champion of his division before knocking him out cold. Then he decides to immediately go to the division above and take on a very intimidating champion in RDA. Oh, just as a side note, both these absolute war-horses pulled out of their fight with Conor the first time and he took two completely different opponents on days/weeks notice. But yeah, he's scared to fight people.
