Does a McGregor-Diaz3 Tune-up fight make sense for Conor?

[King in the North]

He should fight Dennis Siver

 

[UL]

makes no sense & if you think it does

1
you're a casual
2
you are shit at business

 

[LouisBolanos]

According to Sherdog, Khabib is ducking Conor and Conor is also ducking Khabib, so based on that I think Conor vs. Nate 3 and Khabib vs. Poirier make perfect sense. Winner of those two fights aka Khabib and Conor should then fight.

 

[blaseblah]

Lol at tune-up. The Diaz fight should only happen after he loses definitely and is no longer the top guy.

 

[Where you at Georges?]

I am a casual

I am unemployed

 

[Bogeyman]

Diaz is probably a tougher fight for him than Nurmagomedov, so no.

 

[ImNotSurpisedDonks!]

Diaz is probably a tougher fight for him than Nurmagomedov, so no.

At 155 tho, I think Conor has a big edge versus Nate. That weight advantage will be near gone.

 

[Koro_11]

Not really, even if he wins convincingly it will pretty much make them 1-1-1 in everyone’s eyes, and then he has to fight him a fourth time.

 

[Dirge]

If Conor loses, he is fucked... Either it will be his last fight or it won't happen.

Too much risk and not enough reward if he intends to continue fighting.

 

[Noleggeisha]

I wouldn’t give a fuck about it if that is any indication.

 

[C0NCH3TO]

Hell no. Diaz is irrelevant nowadays. Conor got at most 3 fights on him left in mma( and thats being generous). Why would he waste time fighting Diaz?

 

[Xaero]

Conor can fight Nate for the LW belt and Dana can downgrade Khabib's belt to Interim or just take it away even if he can fight.

[Ares Black]

You dont take tune up fights against someone that has shown he can beat you

A tune up fight against Aldo makes much more sense
Hopefully he can last a little longer this time to help Conor train a bit

Fighting Aldo is a terrible idea for McGregor. He currently has a 13 seconds KO over an all time great. It would not happen again.

 

[OriginMMA]

The last time Conor thought Nate was a “tuneup” fight he lost.

 

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

I don't want to see that fight a 3rd time

 

[tonyDaTiger]

I don't get the narrative that Nate is an easy fight for Conor. He got finished in the second round and survived a controversial majority decision. Certainly not a tune up fight, the fight literally ended with Nate GnP'ing Conor

 

[MescalineDreams]

Thats one risky tune up fight. So would any current top 10 lw be. He's better off jumping in at the deep end and go straight for Khabib. A loss to a lower ranked fighter or Nate could put a serious fucking dent in his already declining rep.

"any current top 10 lw"

lol..the level of stupidity is profound

 

[MescalineDreams]

I don't want to see that fight a 3rd time

i do, just not right now. After he fights khabib It's a fun fight / title defence.

 

[MescalineDreams]

Diaz is probably a tougher fight for him than Nurmagomedov, so no.

at 170 It is, not so much @ 155.
