If Nate had a full camp he would have easily smashed and subbed Conor in the first round. The fact that Nate was fresh off vacation with only 3 days to prepare for this fight tells you how much of a hype train that Conor is. Conor gassed and got beat up even when he had a full camp and didn't have to cut weight at all. Conor has terrible cardio,crap striking and horrible ground game. Conor is done.
Imagine what a full camp Nate would have done to Conor.

Probably the same? Conor might've done better too having a full camp to train for a boxer/bjj 76 inch reach 6'0 instead of a a 5'8 70 inch thai/presure grappler.

Nate probably wouldn't even get touched because he would have time to spar and get his timing down. He wouldn't have to start so slow either because he'd be in tip top shape.
nah connor isn't done. If RDA whooped his ass he would be done.
He is vastly overrated , even if he improved on certain areas i just don't see him being nr #1 in other divisions. His striking offense is pretty good and fights he does are fun to watch. He just has alot of holes in his game, the top 10 LW has way better grapplers who are lightyears ahead of connors grappling. i just don't see him catching up, i dont think he get into top 10 LW any soon.

Better yet, imagine what RDA would have done. He'd be indicted on murder charges right about now. Conor gave up the clinch to Diaz within 30 seconds of the fight. This is exactly where RDA would have started the punishment. Conor is totally in over his head. Next up, a loss to Edgar at 145 after a hellacious weight cut and poor rehydration.
His cardio already sucks as bad as his white belt ground game does. And when faced with adversity he folds up.

The Diaz brothers often start slow and pick it up as the fight goes on so I dunno. Conor is still skilled so he'd probably have his moments.
Diaz just weathered the storm and beat him. I always thought a fully prepared Nate could beat Conor but I didn't expect it on 10 days notice.
I think it just shows how much better the top LW's are than Conor. He needs to stick to cutting massive amounts of weight to get an advantage over the midgets as he calls them.

Imgaine what a LW fighter with a half decent chin and good grappling can do to him. He has been able to get away with this long because he is fighting smaller men. Guys his own size will be an uphill battle.
If he is really the next coming of whomever, he will do like GSP.
