How big of a factor will wrestling play into Diaz vs Mcgregor

[ga_ninja]

I haven't thought about it until now but how big of a factor will wrestling play into the fight?

 

[PancraseForever]

None, ends via KO.

Ko would be nice but I think wrestling will be an important factor. Dictating where the fight takes place is an important part of MMA. If Diaz can get Conor on the ground it would be huge for Diaz.

 

[scorpipede]

very little. The pressure is all on Conor in this fight. I think he knows it. He'll be moving ninja style and Nate will have no chance to take him down. I still say Conor by decision.

how many rounds is this by the way?

I'm hoping Nate lands something clean and gets a hold of Conor's melon for a jump guard guillotine choke.

Conor playing diablo 3:

 

[tenniswhiz]

Neither of them tries to win rounds with wrestling. They both try to hurt and end their opponent.
Pure Vale Tudo fighting.

 

[GordoBarraBJJ]

Not much. It is why Nate got the nod over cerrone and Pettis. His stand up is boxing based and no chance of kicking conor lead leg and body like Pettis or cerrone would have. Throw in no shot or threat of the shot and you have another favorable match up for the cash cow.

Wrestling? From Diaz? From Mcgoober?

 

[pick999]

conor will take nate down at will and gnp way to 4th round finish

 

[Bogeyman]

McGregor gonna finish the fight with one of these

 

[Drofrah]

If Diaz has sense he Will drag it to the ground, a much bigger skill difference on the mat
