So many people think that Conor is going to walk through Nate but I'm not so sure I'm quite ready to drink the Kool Aid. Nate has excellent boxing, can fight at a distance, durable and has a strong gas tank. If Conor hits him with everything but the kitchen sink and Nate's still standing the tide could turn quickly. Conor hasn't fought a fighter with antics like Nate. I'm curious to see how Conor handles Nate clowning him. Nate is Conor's biggest test and if he take Nate out early I'm getting on board the hype train. I just have a gut feeling that Nate take the decision.
Is Nate, Conors biggest test? I Think so..

It's possible that he might give him a good fight, but I don't think so. Nate has been beaten many times before and by worse fighters. Conor has so many advantages imo and I find it hard to believe Nate will give him a tough fight.

Could be. Although i think that Aldo is a way better fighter. I think Aldo rematch would be Conor's toughest.

10 day training Camp and he is the biggest test ? I am not bashing Nate but they picked a guy clearly out of shape why didn't they pick a guy that is actually in the welter weight division already in camp for another fight or the same in te light weight division ? Instead they choose a guy clearly out of shape because Conor won't STFU about. all he fucking talked about last night was how out of shape Nate is but he is who he picked to fight lol. Pick him to fight then start making fun of him that is how credible this is shaping up to be.

I don't think you will find a Diaz out of shape, not sure thats anything to talk about.
I expect this fight to be the hardest for Conor by a long shot, in fact I would likely bet on Diaz. If Conor beats him easily I will be amazed and he should get huge respect, Diaz is the furthest thing from a pushover fight.

I can't stand Conor but there's a reason his camp took this fight and not Pettis. I think Conor will light him up and finish him within 3. I will be cheering for Nate though as I've been a fan of both brothers for a long time.

It was Aldo... But only because Mendes and Diaz had a short training camp.
Aldo is by far the most succesful fighter Conor has faced and there's some chances that at the end of Conor career, he will STILL be the most succesful fighter he has beaten. That's how big Aldo was.
But I don't think him being the most succesful equals to him being his biggest test.
Mendes and Diaz at their peak condition, in my opinion, are tougher opponents for Conor to overcome.

Yes, Conor is lucky it's 10day camp, that midget fighter probably still won't beat Nate and it's laughable if they let him fight Robbie Lawler. For the record I think Conor would destroy Lawler if they were actually the same size
I think nate has a chance with the right gameplan. If he can get this fight to the mat and work his jiu-jitsu he can do it. If he goes with his stocton slap i think thats were conors kicks to nates lead leg come to play.

I like Nate, but I will say again what I have said in regards to Nate's boxing many times: He showed flashes of good boxing in his last fight but his opponent had zero head movement and got planted with the straight behind the jab time and time again. Nate's boxing is average with mediocre footwork. There is no way, even with his reach advantage that he outboxes McGregor. You can talk about ground fighting and whatnot and it might be a different story, but not Nate's boxing. Sorry.

Depends.
Mendes with a full camp might of been a tougher test, or Aldo who didn't fight emotionally and throw a really stupid Combo. But neither of those things took place so maybe.

You idiots underestimate Nate, Yes I do think Nate is the biggest test of his career. Nate seems to be in great shape and if he can survive the first round and take Conor into deep waters..I think Nate has a great chance at pulling out the win. All Nate's losses are mostly getting wrestlefucked by his opponents, which Conor will not do. Yes Thomson got him with a head kick but Nate shouldn't make that mistake again. This is Very dangerous fight for Conor especially if it gets passed two rounds. I'm just hoping this fight will be awesome!

Nate just fought on December 20th. You really think he's going to get out of shape in 8 weeks? A pro fighter?
