McGregor vs. Diaz III

[Sjb1888]

Considering that has only happened twice in his career, I'd go with no.
I would expect that he would pick his shots a lot more than the second fight.
To be truthful though, if Nate could drill some basic trip takedowns from the clinch, he could own McGregor in rounds 3-5 enough to earn the W, but would likely tap him out.
But... Diaz doesn't really learn new tricks, so I'd go with another 3-2 split or a draw.

Nate is severely drained at LW, I don't think he'll be able to take the punishment, and I think Conor will have more in the tank at LW.

Nah, apparently not.

I heard that Nate was injured early on in camp and was just coasting in training in order to make it to the fight in one piece. He looked a little rough too. Definitely not 100%

Conor was on antibiotics for his camp in the first clash too, after dealing with staph.

I'm not saying that the win/loss should be discarded or devalued. All is fair on the battlefield, naturally. I just, personally, would like to see the 3rd fight be as pure as possible.

You heard this where?

I believe it was audio of a nate interview on this forum.
