Diaz vs McGregor Breakdown | UFC 196 | Compufighter

This video is wildly biased toward Conor. People FAIL to factor into their fight equation that Nate took the fight on 10 days notice. Nate stays in shape but was not in fight shape...and he still won. Damn! His timing was off and he was sluggish.

The talk from Conor nuthuggers is what Conor did wrong and not what Nate did right. Conor won the first round, a round that Nate says that he started slow mind you, but only out struck Nate by 5. I know...Conor landed more power strikes in the first round.

In the end Conor LOST and Nate WON. Get over it.

it's called new muscle bro when u start to put on weight u sometimes underestimate how much it impacts your cardio and take off like a rocket only to end up gassing out and finishing like a toyota prius

But, Conor was very clearly winning round 1. Like, Nate was barely making it competitive.

While Conor quit, nobody denies this, dismissing everything in between is extremely bias and dishonest.

Nate lost the first round, but he said that he purposely started slow because he didn't have a camp and wanted to be able to last 5 rounds if necessary. Nate said that he did the same in the Kurt Pelligrino fight. Why believe all the crap the Conor spews but nothing that Nate says?

What? That doesn't even make any sense. Like, at all. Nate is either really dumb, or is just making an excuse. Or both.

The raw stats don't tell the entire story. Conor pushed the pace of the fight and was the aggressor the entire round. He also pulled off a pretty advanced sweep on Nate and landed on top of him.

I guess Nate not fighting for position and just pulling guard is an advanced sweep.

The raw stats showed you it's far from dominating. If you rewatched the fight, since you haven't you'd agree with what i'm saying. First time I saw it I thought Conor had dominated the first. we're all wrong once in a while.
 
Mcgregor gassed after using Nate's head as a punching bag. Hopefully he can pace himself in the rematch.

It was a sweep. There's nothing else to it. Did Nate try to pull guard, possibly? But so did Vitor, and we all know how well that went for him.

Yeah, he lost. Way to spoil it for me.

Anyways, Nate's excuses are on par with Conor's at this point.

He "complained" that not having a camp affected his performance. That the fight would've been easier for him. It's difficult to say he is offering excuses when he won.

Rewatch the first round, it was WAY closer than you think.

People miss this all the time.

I've watched that fight at least 25 times - I was traveling back from a business trip the next day and had a bunch of downtime so I basically had it on repeat.

Round 1 was very, very close. Nate landed the check hook, a few straight punches and a nice jab to the body. Conor hit a lot of air and arms. The Diaz brothers bleed when a brisk wind goes past so people somehow equate that to damage.

If you watch it carefully now, you see one guy expending a ton of energy but not getting anything done, and the other slowly landing shots that chipped away.

Where Conor actually landed some big punches was round 2 - he landed a nice left and a big upper cut, but it didn't matter - by that time Nate was already starting to land and break Conor down.

The story of that fight is Conor couldn't hurt Nate, but Nate could hurt Conor, and it was wrapped up under two rounds.

only on sherdog will someone ever try and sell a ankle pick as a ''pretty advanced sweep''

nate just fell backwards because he's comfortable working from guard, and is arguably just as (if not more) dangerous there. his triangle for instance is a thing of beauty.
