You should have. He made a positive point to the legitimicy of the main event.
You into teenage men?
Was just sparking up convo. I'm looking for a date bro. Relax. I can take no for an answer.Um no and I don't quite see how that's appropriate or even relevant

Passive aggressive??? I was upfront about being gay. Nothing homophobic about it. But I can see that you are homophobic and its offensive to me. Whose Connie?Banworthy IMO, passive aggressive homophobia. But you do your thing as long as it's allowed I guess. You obviously don't have what it takes to engage in an upfront war of words. funnily enough most Connie fans seem to be that way when they aren't merely quoting him. Nothing original to say.
Nate has a great chin but so what? Conor has way more power and better accuracy. He definitely has the power to put him away. I just hope Nate actually comes in with a gameplan and tries to get him down for the sub.

I really want Nate to win and I think he has the tools to do it, but he has to dive for takedowns all night. I don't know if dat Stockton life will let him do itI agree Mike.
Don't be thick headed and just stand and bang the entire time, because anything can happen (we've seen it all before)
The Diaz brothers have sick Jits and they need to exploit that weakness in this fight..
I would love to see Diaz rear-naked McDonalds for a submission victory.

The thing that worries me is the Diaz bros have horrible movement. I mean Josh fucking Thompson beat his ass, you know? And lucky charms is more accurate and hits harder then Thompson does. If he chases him around flatfooted he's going to sleep, the only question is how long it'll take. He needs to get him in the clinch and make it dirty, try to get judo throws and takedowns. He never fights like that though, so I'm worried.I'd like him to get this win as well. It'd be a good look for his fight resume.
I'm not sure how much harder Conor hits than other guys Nate has already fought. Sure, Diaz can stand and bang and knock him out but to me that seems like the dumbest way to go about it.
Use that Jits. Even a triangle and Conor tapping to it would be awesome

The reason the fight is at WW is so the lightweight strap is still in play if Conor loses as well as a feeling out process at 170. Nate didn't negotiate his way out of a weight cut. I agree with this being a closer fight than the odds suggest especially at 170.
Yeah I like Thompson he's a great fighter, it's more that he isn't known for having big power. The fact that he was able to tko a guy known for toughness with relative ease is troubling. All he needed was a smart game plan based on movement, angles, and countering. If he could do that to him what is a pure counter striker going to do?I like Thompson, I think he is an underrated guy. He's been in there with the best of them. so I don't consider that a bad loss for Nate. Josh is a respected fighter.
And yeah I agree Mike, make it an ugly fight. Clinch, use his toughness, and try for trips and takedowns.
Sorry but that is absurd.
I am a HUGE Nate Diaz fan and anyone with a brain who follows MMA knows Nate was the easiest matchup out of the pool of available fighters. He's the one guy in the pack who literally cannot wrestle and is the least physically imposing.
Khabib, Ferguson and Alvarez all would have gladly signed this fight and are all more deserving than Nate.
Nate was just in Hawaii and on vacation (look at his Instagram and Facebook) and hasn't sparred since December. He's taking this fight off the couch and is the easiest fight of the bunch.
Nate is arguably the easiest payday available.
WELL if weight cutting affects the solidity of your chin as you are suggesting then Conor has the P4P most solid chin in the UFC and POSSIBLY THE WORLD!!! haha. Like made of some kinda of meteorite shit! Because he absolutely ATE Mendes' bombs in their fight and that was undoubtedly the worst weight cut he's had...he looked terrible leading in and during that fight, and he walked through Mendes' bombs at two weight classes below the weight they will be fighting at.
However I don't think that weight cutting really comes in to the equation too much when it comes to your chin. Well unless you're Sage and you could shave a few lbs off your chin like a baked ham.
