Does anyone else see McGregor vs Diaz being a 5 round striking fest ?

[Co-Co Zola]

Nate has a good chin, only ever been finished once by strikes. And I'm sure most will agree Connor seemingly has a good chin also coupled with Nate not having very powerful, explosive strikes...I would not be surprised if neither man get's sparked out.

I'm not sure Nate will be able to get Connor down the the mat either...I envision the fight being a back and forth striking battle, with Connor getting the victory, but Nate having done respectably and inevitably complaining about the judges giving Connor the win.

it better stay standing for conors sake...hopefully doesnt turn into condit diaz 2....

 

[QcChopper]

I don't see it being a 5 round anything, if it goes past 3 I'll be shocked.

 

[Chet Ubetcha]

IS this 5 rounds? Last I looked, the PBP (which I know is not gospel) had it as a three round fight. Could be a mistake, or it could be that the UFC is going to try and pull one over on us and only let that one out after the event begins.

Neither would surprise me.

Yes, Conor will be intimidated by Diaz' polished Boxing and run around in circles.

 

[Liquid Smoke]

Absolutely.

Its hard to count out a Diaz if the fight is standing

His post was reasonable. And I could see the fight going 5 rounds as well.

2nd time in two days I see you discrediting someone based on their post count. Do you jerk off to your own post count ? ''Oh shit, 4,222 message on Sherdog, I'm such a boss. There is finally a place where my opinion counts.''

I just assumed it was 5 being the main event...if it's only 3, then yeah, I see it going to the judges scorecards more so.

We can only hope it stays standing.

You mean because no last minute replacement main event has ever been shortened to three rounds...?

I hope its 5 as I bet on a round 4 KO. Lol

There is no way this is going past the second.

Nate has more ways to win than lose.

Greggor wanted to fight!

UFC obliged.

In UFC you meet "your defeat".

How else you keep your fighters in check?

What makes PPV?

Brilliant.

You don't win UFC, you survive. And then retire.
