Giving Conor no chance is insane

He absolutely lit up Nate that first round and that was the slowest, unsharpest Conor we've ever seen. Nates face reminded me of Gsp after one of his decision wins. At least twice i remember Nate taking a shot and looking like he was on the edge of "rocked"

Conor, you have to agree is one the smarter guys in this game and although both Diaz brothers are warriors, they are no puzzle.

People seem completely oblivious to the fact that when you put on size like that, it takes time to adjust to and Conor this time will have had ample time come July.

Not an McG fanboy by no means, I just think its ridiculous to count him out of this fight, with all due respect to Nate.
 
He has a chance for sure.

But you also have to factor in that this was a NO CAMP Diaz he fought in the first fight, and McGregor hit him with everything he had, and could not stop, or even slow him down.

Now, imagine Diaz with a full TEN WEEK camp.

Full camp Diaz will not have a slow start, Conor will connect with less, you do the math.
 
He sure did give Nate all he could handle, but yet it wasn't enough.

How is a fully prepared Diaz gonna improve Conor's chances?

If Conor is one of the smarter fighters as you say then why wouldn't he use the tried & tested blueprint to beat Nate, chop away at that lead leg and just strike to point fight with him.

Lol you forgetting Nate had no sparring and it took him a round to figure out his timing and distance? Also Conor landed some nice flush shots but you're exaggerating a ton.

I dont believe in NO CAMP Diaz. Nate said it himself, hes always training and always in shape. He looked like he always did. He took shots and he gave. You can act like Conor didnt put Nate on check and Nates post fight behavior would certainly have you believe that but i think Nate just didnt want to give Conor his props because of the "Nicks little brother" insults... Or maybe it was the balloon animals remark.
 
he got beat at his own game by someone on 10 days notice. It's not unreasonable that people dont have faith in him.
 
Conor is one of the smarter fighters eh?

Then why does he throw those wasteful kicks and gas himself out? Why would he shoot on a BJJ black belt with slick submission skills? Why would he keep his hands by his waist against a crisp boxer? Why doesn't he use a jab?

I don't think he's a smart fighter at all. I do think he's a smart business man though

Nate was literally ona yacht in cabo getting fucked up. Sure he's always in decent shape but that doesnt mean he's training he just maintains a relatively active lifestyle/fitness level even for looking skinnyfat most the time. A fighter is always gonna say theyre in shape before a fight you expect em to say "Naw mang ive been chain smokin bleezys and drinkin patron with my boy giblert."?

Also I think Nate did give him props after the fight, said he hits hard and he's tough.
 
Conor fan reaching in desperation. Nothing to see here, just move along.
 
Absolutely lit up? Did you even watch the fight? He landed some shots...but....far from lit up nate.

Lombard lit up Magny in the first round...that's lit up. But still, just like Conor, he gassed and lost.

I disagree that he actually hit him with everything he had. Yeah, he tried a lot of, some too many, huge KO shots but Diaz was pretty good about utilizing his height to roll back on them. Conor didn't ever connect with the kind of shot he did on Aldo or Mendes. That's as much a testament to Diaz as anything else, but that doesn't mean Diaz can just shrug off Conors best shot.

Conor for sure has a chance. A left hand that Diaz doesn't roll with right and that could be it.

But the Diaz brothers are for sure a puzzle. No one fights like them and unless Conor gets really good at leg kicks its going to be a long night for him next time.

"We'll see the next time"

Conor clearly was going for the KO right from the beginning with those sloppy overhands. He'll be his technical, precise self this time around. He has the kicks in his arsenal, just ask Firas Zahabi.
 
Nuthuggery aside, if you are being honest with yourself, how will Conor beat him?

Is he going to outpoint a cardio machine over 5 rounds? Nope
Is he going to KO him? Nope
Is he going to submit him? Lol fuck no!

So how does he win?

If you think 5-6 punches difference is "absolutely lit up" then I have some bad news for you
