*gif* Pivotal moment in Mcgregor vs Diaz fight

Look at McGregors feet during this sequence, keeps crossing feet, even has them parallel right next to each other. I have seen old drunks with better footwork. Striking defense consist of dropping his head and hoping to get hit on the top of the skull.
So you're saying the touch butt sparring doesn't work?
 
there was another angle of this is slow motion where you can see it on mcgregors face that he knew he was in trouble...was an awesome rd up until this point, all down hill from there for the golden goose

I hope people stop saying Conor lost because he gassed out or anything. You can clearly see that punch at 2:22 wobble Conor a little bit.
Actually, the pivotal moment in the grand scheme of things was Conor flinching at the weigh-ins like a 3rd grader.
 
His knees buckled as well, a little bit before the gif.
He tried to shake it off, but he was on the road to L.
 
4 inch reach and height advantage = Nate is the same size.
2 inch reach and height advantage = Conor is a giant towering over the division.

I was hoping all the crazy nonsense would stop since the real Conor fanatics have been silenced, but I see the 209 bandwagon has more than stepped up to take it's place.

You mean a 3 inch height advantage and 2 inch reach advantage.

Conor vs Mendes

Conor - 5'9'', 74'' reach
Mendes - 5'6'', 66'' reach
 
Put 10 pounds on the best racehorse on the planet and he will finish dead last against bums.

I know what you're trying to say, but it really doesn't work with horses. Infact, you couldn't have picked a worse analogy to explain it, as race horses usually weigh around half a ton! The better rated horses can give away 50lbs to inferior horses in handicap races and annihilate them.

No. Every single fight leading up to that fight, Nate had a 76 inch reach, Conor had 72. They padded the stats like they do with people they get behind.

They also said that Nate is only 5ft 10, so apparently you didn't even look at the tale of the tape for this fight either.
