Conor vs Nate 3, Who's your pick?

[Pokemon24]

I got Nate by round 4 tko or submission

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Nate, as long as he checks kicks.

 

[CrimsonFan]

Nate

If only Conor utilizes the jab more and try to tone down with the KO punches and slow the pace, I'd pick Conor easy UD.

His pride won't let him though.

 

[Kyler Ruxin]

Nate, as long as he checks kicks.

I love watching Nate, and would root for him, but you know damn well he isn't checking kicks.

~the Heavyweight!

 

[Mixedfights]

Conor wins again but fuck that fight we've seen twice in a row.

#1 contender

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

If it is anything like the others. It will be classic. Would like to see Conor get the finish and get his first title defense.

In his fight immediately prior to his first with Conor, he started checking leg kicks from Michael Johnson. Granted, he ate several before he really started paying attention, but he was clearly well trained to react appropriately.

Also of note, he was slamming head kicks into MJ and off the top of my head I can't ever recall Nate using head kicks as legitimate offense before. Nick has historically tossed out some slow, range finding head kicks but more as subterfuge then anything else.

Nate looked like he spent time patching up holes in his game.

So we'll have to see if he approaches it with a renewed commitment.

 

[Liquid Smoke]

Conor knows how to box now so Nate wins.

Would be nice, but I'm not sure he's to interested in reinventing himself at this point. He's just going to show up to get a check.

the ufc will book this fight once a year now so if you predict wrong this time don't worry you'll have another chance.

 

[xMaxPower]

Nate needs to keep his hands up, and pressure.

If he can get just one takedown that would drasitcally increase his chances.

50/50 fight imo.

Good thing it is not a boxing match.

 

[dragonsfly]

I have 4th round TKO - Nate diaz win

 

[tehShuffle]

Nate.

 

[Deezer]

I imagine Conor using the same gameplan. Nate really needs to get ready for the kicks and vary his TDD offence. He would have won that 2nd if he hadnt also gassed in the 4th. Its a pick em, Unfortunately im leaning towards Conor but FFS fight the number 1 contender

100% jesus christ I just cant anymore. I'm a Conor fan and I'm not critiquing him but rather what has become of the UFC. The main fight we should see is McGregor V Ferguson...this is BS

 

[Gamer007]

I'll bet on Conor but root for Nate, If Conor manages to lose 2/3 to Nate diaz he'll be the most overrated fighter on the roster tbh. Nate diaz should be an easier opponent every time you fight him, he hardly does anything to actually adapt and improve. I hope Diaz can survive the onslaught but 155lbs Conor isn't gonna fade until late in the third so I don't know if Diaz can survive that late.
