Nate has lost 3 of his last 5 fights - Beating McGoat? GTFO

[Whippy McGee]

Diaz will treat McGregor like he treated Cerrone. Easy money for Nate Dog.

Called it! Again!

 

[LostMyBlackBelt]

Conor Hype Bike derailed!!!!

Ronda Down!

 

[Not A Real Fan]

Of course, why do you think they picked Diaz to fight him? It's easiest fight out of the people out there

So I guess RDA would have smoked him in under a minute then.

 

[Not A Real Fan]

Diaz gets killed within 3-4 minutes.

 

[FeloniousMonk]

Nate is gonna get butchered. But I would laugh my ass off if he somehow pulls it off.

Itt: filthy bandwagoners exposed

 

[Avenger]

Uh, Nate absolutely does not have the better hands. He's a brawler with limited technical ability and limited shot selection compared to Conor. Out of all of the high level amateur and some pro boxers I've heard talk about MMA fighters, only a handful have talked about who would be successful in the ring, and McGregor's name was always brought up. Whether it was Mickey Ward talking about it or an Olympic bronze medalist at Mayweather Boxing Club. Nate has been Andre Ward's sparring partner before but he knows neither one of the Diaz brothers would make it far in boxing because they're far from being pure boxers and neither is even a puncher (McGregor is a boxer-puncher). They're scrappers that punch with volume and use their range to overwhelm.

McGregor can fight on the inside and the outside very well, off the back foot, anywhere whether he's leading or countering and he can string together slick combinations that actually hurt his opponents to the head and body.

This guy ^^ by far has to be the most retarded poster in Sherdog, and that saying something.

good call on this

and for anyone reading this, see sig below for more

 

[Thesnake101]

I still don't get why some people thought that Nate had no chance against Conor, he is one of the worst matchups for McGregor.

Oh and good call TS.

 

[Benjo87]

I really think all the people who thought they knew it all should be a man and admit they were wrong.

 

[Avenger]

So we're still on

We'll work out the logistics after

Please, tell me you got paid. That was easy money.

All these resurrected prediction threads are dominated by that guy writing essays with the certainty of a true believer. He never imagines that conor can be beat. It's like conor is an immortal.

 

[Slicks]

yes, we're still on.

If you didn't pay up, you should be banned.

 

[CatchnShoot]

With the exception of dickplanter this thread was pretty balanced (by S-dog standards).

There were far worse threads than this one.


Oh, and Thank you Nate, you are a warrior.

 

[melvinj0]

TS you were wrong and should feel very stupid for using the term McGoat.

 

[Nuremberg]

It's just a payday for Diaz, nothing more.

Wow you was right all along.

 

[Recounter]

Last win via decision and another win against Maynard who is on a 4 losing streak...

Nate's 3 losses were to: Josh Thompson, RDA and Henderson...

He's going to be a HUGE underdog. And some of you legit think he's going to knockout McGregor?

Not a smart bet to make imho.

 

[Drake]

I might explode if Diaz wins.

Surprisingly did not, lol.

 

[lowlife]

You're speculating about Conor, he could go much further, but being a world champion in any major organization at this point is out of the question. Many high level amateur and pros have given kudos to Conor's boxing ability, especially for an MMA fighter. Nate wouldn't have enough fast twitch muscle to beat a top 100 guy. He's just that slow, his shots lack pop (snap), and he's not heavy handed. His footwork just isn't there, he doesn't really understand distance well, his range control is certainly not very good and his timing isn't on Conor's level. His shot selection consists of the same old 1-2's, time and time again, like most MMA fighters. Nate doesn't even have good fundamentals, and therein lies the problem. He needs to learn how to enter and exit on angles because he squares himself up to his opponents often, including in some of your GIFs. As a result, he gets hit. What makes it worse is that none of these guys besides Johnson have decent hands (by "decent" that is for MMA).

I'm not even going to mention Nate's posture and how horrible it is. Look at Conor's and compare it to Nate's when they punch. Look at their mechanics and technique, foot positioning and so forth. There's a world of difference.

Lol

"Easy money" would have been getting 4-1 on Diaz as underdog, this dimwit was trying to throw away $1500 profit by betting someone on here $500 straight up.
