Nate Diaz Should have tko'd McGregor instead

[HealthyOmnivore]

McGregor was flattened out and gassed, I believe Diaz should have kept punching him and went for the TKO. Nothing against McGregor, still a huge fan but it would have been a better win for Diaz

 

[KONE]

It's close, but I think McGregor tapping out frantically just barely edges a TKO victory out

The man offered his neck and Herb Dean was reffing. Nate made a good call.

 

[RealMadridMMA]

Wow watching that gif just shows how exhausted he truly was.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Nate WANTED to. He made reference after the fight how when he starts tagging fighters on the feet, they all the sudden become wrestlers.

Had Conor not shot that desperation takedown, Nate would have for sure knocked him the F out. Conor knew it too, hence the desperation shoot.

You're a sick man TS.

what if he tapped to strikes?

 

[Sin City]

his "touchbutt" training turned him into. "panic wrestler" to avoid the KO

It's a much more convincing way to win having your opponent surrendering and sort of telling you, "stop, ok I tap, you beat me, you win this fight" by tapping, than having a ref intervening your fight.

 

[DiazStocktonSlappedConor]

He was going to til Conor went for that takedown

 

[subhuman trash]

He definitely could have from that position.

 

[kingskot]

And listen to delusional "early stoppage" claims? No thanks.

 

[INoHespectChael]

It was all business for Nate. He just went for the quickest finish and showed Conor a lot of respect after the fight.

Tito and Brock would have definitely wanted to punish him more. Probably RDA and Aldo too.

Pretty much saying "I'm you're bitch"

what if he tapped to strikes?

Tapping to strikes = ultimate ass whooping.

Jon Jones should have got charged with attempted murder for what he did to Shogun.

Rashad beat the beat the piss of Forest.

Pat Barry got a guy to tap to leg strikes.

he offered his neck to save his chin, he still has his virgin chin tho

Mcgregor would never tap to strikes. Even I will give him credit for that:

 

[SH10151]

he needs to be able to fight at 200 KO could have jeopardize the card

 

[Sgt Smith]

Conor wanted nothing to do with the feet anymore. It wasn't Nate's decision.
