Sure he was discouraged, but I think his cardio issues were more physical than psychological. He blew his load trying to finish and started getting his ass whupped, that's what made him gas.
He was inefficient and commented on it immediately after the fight.
He will be ready and fully prepared this time. Nate down in the fourth.
"When you bully somebody, you don't respect the other person's ability to hurt you"
"When you are on top of the world, it makes you feel invincible - it happens to a lot of new champions...and that's why it's so difficult to become champion and remain champion"
"...you have to have a healthy amount of fear...I know Conor has that charisma, likes to build himself up, tell himself he's way better than his opponent...but the worst thing that can happen to you in a fight, is to be surprised, the element of surprise is the most powerful thing...there is no other advantage greater than surprise...Conor got surprised by Diaz and that's what gassed him out..."
"people make too much out of fatigue in this fight...Conor was preparing for a 5 round fight with RDA...Conor could throw an infinite number of punches if he wanted to...he was confused, and that's what led to fatigue..."
"McGregor does not have a cardio problem, he's a freakishly athletic and gifted human being...the reason he got tired was a psychological one, in my opinion"
"bully fighters go from a hundred mph to zero mph very quickly, why, because a bully bullies you because he thinks you are nothing, and when you surprise him, he becomes confused...especially narcissistic bullies...look at when Conor started to get really tired, it's when Nate started talking to him and bullying him back...instead of relaxing and riding out the wave...McGregor, by his own admission, panicked. When he got bullied, he couldn't handle it...it's part of martial arts that you stay calm when the other guy has the strength advantage (GSP vs. Hendricks)...his problem is a composure issue"
If he tries to pace himself that's practically bending over for Nate. The only reason he did well in the first round of the first fight (besides Nate's 10 day Cabo tequila camp obv) was because he didn't stop throwing bombs and didn't give Nate much chance to breathe or mount his attack.
We've already seen that Nate can take ALL of Conor's best shots and keep going. What do you think is gonna happen if Conor throws less punches? Lol.
Nate bless you all and forgive the Conor fan boys, they know not what they do
Ok so you're saying if Conor hits Nate LESS hard this time then he's gonna win? Got it!The reason he did well in the first round is because of effective striking. Throwing 100% into his shots combined with a ton of spinning shit is a great way to gas yourself out. If Conor doesn't throw everything behind every shot, picks his moments and is prepared for a war then I think he's going to see a lot of success in the rematch.
Also, we haven't seen that Nate can take ALL of Conor's best shots and keep going. We saw that he could take them in the first fight. All it takes is one and Conor hits hard as fuck. It's not unlikely that Conor is going to knock Nate out.

I agree with Firas to some extent. However, I think he's blowing the psychological aspect out of proportion here.
Conor certainly was surprised and caught off-guard by Nate's gameness and ability to stay in the fight, sure, but to imply that Nate's success on the feet was restricted to psychological advantages is far-fetched. He hurt Conor physically just as bad as he did psychologically, and Conor never fully recovered from either forms of damage before he ironically succumbed to turning into a panic-wrestler.
Dafuq did I just read? The first paragraph completely contradicts the second. Conor fans stay delusional.
Actually the only thing Conor does better than Nate is talking childish bullshit.They both do things better than the other. I think Nate's standup is high volume, but lacks aggresion and power. On any given night, one of these men could defeat the other. That is the beauty of fghting.
Well there's that - but it is plan to see conor is a front runner who'll quit and look for a way when a fight gets hard.Didn't know that inferior boxing was a psychological issue.
Except he isn't implying that. He explicitly says after that that the other reason was because of the 1-2.
How does the second paragraph contradict the first exactly? He said that Conor finishing Nate on the feet isn't unlikely when Conor picks his moments instead of trying to create them from thin air relying on his power alone. In short, somervillecr wants Conor to not only rely on his power, but rather to save the full power shots for scenarios where Nate is susceptible to that power.
