Nate Diaz For No Reason

Fuck it. Why not. Always a good reminder that Conor is a below average fighter.
 
That 1-2 was clearly the turning point. Conor was stunned and never recovered. As soon as it landed, I was screaming all the way til the tap.
 
Don't like to appear to disrespect a fighter, but it was so sweet to see Conor choked out.
 
Stupid thread. Conor moved up two weight classes to fight Nate, who entered the ring 185-190 pounds. Conor knew he would land, he just didn't know Nate would get up. Second fight he proved he learned from his mistakes.

Horseshit revisionism.

Conor was prepared for lightweight, he only moved up one to welterweight. Unless you're going to count that original move-up, in which case you're willfully ignoring Nate moving up one class for the fight too. I hear all the "moving up two weights" all the time but never "against an opponent moving up one." Really overplaying the underdog status there.

Also, no fucking way Nate was over 180. He had been competing at lightweight at that point and had 11 days to cut weight. You think he, off time from his lightweight run, did a full cut to 170 and rehydrated to 190? Even though when he was actually competing at welterweight full time and making cuts with a full camp, he's on record entering the cage at only 180?

Conor didn't move up 2 weight classes. He is a LW who was only able to make FW using IV's. He was preparing to fight a LW and he fought a career LW but they just didn't cut to 155. KJ Noons and Sam Stout were booked for a LW fight and at the last minute both agreed to skip the weight cut and fought as WW's. That doesn't make them WW's.

Conor has a great career, no need to gaslight yourself.

Conor was aiming to fight RDA at lightweight and Nate stepped in on 11 days notice after RDA pulled out.
Nate was out of shape having a vacation in mexico when he got the call, his size wouldn't be a big factor here. Nate was just an overblown lightweight at the time, not a welterweight.

Conor would've had the same frame for a lightweight fight(a division he's fought in before pre-UFC), the whole excuse of him bulking up too much muscle which caused him to gas out makes no sense since you can't do that in 11 days that's worth a damn. In fact, he should have an advantage since he didn't have to cut any weight and Nate did.

Now Nate and RDA aren't the same fighters, but they do have similar attributes. Both have iron chins and insane cardio, something Conor didn't consider since he went 100% in round 1 and didn't put Nate away. Bad fight IQ from Conor, him thinking Nate would go out that easily was foolish.
This made him gas out and Nate put it on him because of that mistake.

Nate was the underdog here, you can't buy into Conor's narrative about Nate 3 times the size of him since that's bullshit and just a way to excuse BOTH of his performances against Nate.
Conor may have won that 2nd fight, but it proved that 1st fight wasn't a fluke at all. Went life and death with each other and Conor ducked the trilogy match that Diaz deserves.
 
McGregor is vindicated after future WW champion Leon Edwards was nearly finished from that 1-2

Kudos to McGregor for taking that 170 pound fight on short notice just months after winning the Featherweight title
