Conor was at his best, and Diaz was at his worst walking into the ring.

[danwillbeback]

diaz wasn't able to do any sparring leading up to the fight, and wasn't in the best shape he could be in.

on the other hand Conor put in a ton of rounds sparring and had the best training camp of his life.

You think that Diaz was worse than the one that fought RDA....?

 

[arohenoh]

One cannot deny that Nate proved he is better than Conor everywhere the fight goes.
You might want to debate the stand up but even the numbers showed that Nate was superior.
At the beginning of the 1st rd, Conor was consistently landing his left... and it did NOTHING.

 

[Bend NvR Break]

In think the Conor that fought on Saturday was Conor at his best. He did his thing and it just proved not good enough. His shots weren't hard enough to rock Nate and he tried the wrestle strategy that he used vs Holloway and it got him choked out. It happens when you fight better fighters.

You think that Diaz was worse than the one that fought RDA....?

Yes. RDA would have smoked Diaz on Saturday quicker than he did Cowboy.

 

[Goonerview]

Conor had never fought at that weight before. Not even once.

You think that Diaz was worse than the one that fought RDA....?

it depends on what you think is more preferable:

a) bad camp
b) no camp at all

 

[NateBless]

The better fighter won.

Nate Bless.

 

[danwillbeback]

Conor just didn't cut water weight to make 155

Nate is not a ww he is a155er.

Conor had never fought at that weight before. Not even once.

 

[SteelHeems]

B-b-but he has no cardio unless he's cutting 25lbs of weight to look like skeletor at the weigh in!

 

[Bradstones]

CMON MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[logicprob]

Cool story little man. Carry on now.

yes and if you saw the first round conor demolished him. Being 168 lbs gassed the shit out of him. If he were fighting where he belongs at 145 he wouldnt have gassed. The result may have been the same somewhere down the line of the fight, but conor probably wouldnt have gassed so quick.

So not having to go through a week long weight cut gassed him? Intradesting....
