[twone21]

I made a little gif breakdown of their fight.
It's a shame that there isnt going to be a rematch.
Any comments or suggestions is appreciated!

Not bad actually

I'm gonna make it real simple.

Leprechaunnor, became a mark to his own gimmick, i.e. He started to believe his own schtick.

He's a good strikes but with his very limited wrestling and Bjj, he's not half the fighter he claims to be.

Nate is tougher. Nate takes a better shot. Nate's conditioning is better. And Nate's ground work is light years ahead of McTapper. That's how he beat him. Balls and technique.

I'll break it down too. He beat Conor by RNC.
See how easy that was

My thoughts exactly but man did I look like an idiot after he beat Mendes... I don't like taking sides but I still think Mendes can beat him on a full camp.

I meant it in the sense that I spent hours making a blog in anticipation of a rematch and than it gets cancelled....

Great analysis there

 

[chubbman]

Let me simplify it further:
1) Nate is bigger.
2) Nates chin is granite.
3) Nate can actually grapple.

He beat him because he is bigger and has a chin. Nate would also beat Mighty Mouse so it doesn't mean anything.

Nate will fight someone in his own weight class and will lose after he gets dumped on his ass over and over again.

I can break down the entire fight in 1 single sentence. Nate outlasted Conor and then RNC him.

easily ?

He out smarted him.

Conor told the world his game plan of first round KO. Diaz predicted he would actually follow that plan. So 1st round he paced himself, didn't put himself in danger and just waited it out.

Then mid second round he made Conor mentally quit and RNCed him shortly thereafter.

You beat a Diaz by staying on the outside and throwing tons of leg kicks, or you beat a Diaz by wrestle-fucking them. Conor did neither of those, so he didn't beat a Diaz.

Conor rapidly gaining weight to fight at welterweight zapped his energy too quickly and didn't take Conor far enough to beat Nate.

I was impressed how Conor made a much larger opponent have to be stitched back together.

It goes to show that no matter what sort of skillset you have it's never great gambling your stock outside of your weight class or in this case 'weight'.

Yeah I guess it was kinda like the chad mendes vs Conor mcgregor fight in that sense
