So Conor moved up three weight classes then.
I am aware of both social and sexual intercourse. For the sake of the more pedantic contributors, second edit incoming...The word "intercourse" can technically be accurately used to refer to two people having conversation (i.e. "Yo, after grabbing a bite to eat, me and my bro went back to my crib and had intercourse.)
From Merriam-Webster Dictionary:
Full Definition of intercourse
- 1 : connection or dealings between persons or groups
- 2 : exchange especially of thoughts or feelings : communion
If he makes weight then that's his weight class (although he has missed weight). He seemed a little undersized at ww"Nate is also bigger than he looks. He's just one of those guys who, he's not super built, he's not super muscular, but he's strong. He's a very solid individual.
I remember clinching up with him and he was clearly the bigger man. There are only a handful of guys who I've fought where it just felt like fighting a 170-pounder or a 185-pounder. He was one of those guys. It felt like I was fighting a guy who didn't belong in my weight class."

For such a skinny-fat guy Nate seems to win a lot of fights because he's the heavier man.
Is he ducking WW or being smart as long as he can make LW?
What are you talking about? He looked normal, completely fine. His face at least looks the same as it would on fight night. The difference between this Nate weigh in and Conor at 145 is night and day. He even missed weight by 5 pounds.
Here's the vid. Anyone with a working set of eyes (watch at around 21 mins) will agree with me.
If you go strictly by walk around weight, he actually may be over 185 and so you'd be right.Nate is a natural LHW.
this weigh in vs Thomson is what I was thinking of
25:45
he looks like a gargoyle

rory does that to most WWsHe was absolutely ragdolled by Rory
He's no WW either
He lost to Rory, and comfortably made weight at 155 for years, so I don't know if you call that "ducking" but sure...
Nate is sorta like Jones, he isn't truly that "big" but his reach and height are very difficult for shorter opponents to handle.. the same way McGregor is a monster at FW
Not against Condit, Wonderboy, Lawler and Woodleyrory does that to most WWs
if nayt stopped eating like a bird and calling it "vegan" he could definitely put on some width
hes 6' and 200 pounds but fights at LW lol
Ducking WW? Nate has a 3-2 record at WW. However, against true WWs, he's at a disadvantage. Nate's a LW. Is Conor ducking LW or being smart as long as he can make FW? Not a fan, but Conor is being smart so that he can fight in multiple weight classes. However, that doesn't mean he will be successful.For such a skinny-fat guy Nate seems to win a lot of fights because he's the heavier man.

he's clearly ducking fighters his own size
amirite?
even if i gave u all those 4 then my statement would still be trueNot against Condit, Wonderboy, Lawler and Woodley
they were pretty even strength wise

Conor fans give the excuse that Nate being the bigger man (handpicked by Conor, btw) as to why Conor lost, then revel in the fact that Conor is the biggest FW. WTF!
Getting those excuses lined up eh?"Nate is also bigger than he looks. He's just one of those guys who, he's not super built, he's not super muscular, but he's strong. He's a very solid individual.
