Nate/Mcgregor size difference *pic

[Dragon Punch]

The significant size advantage Diaz has doesn't mean much when that smaller man destroyed him.

height is only 1 dimension. these threads are always stupid

 

[Ja Jas]

Height and reach only get you so far. Ask Stefan Struve.

 

[FlyingKimurabar]

The significant size advantage Diaz has doesn't mean much when that smaller man destroyed him.

With elite leg kicks, which Conor doesn't have, and elite grappling which Conor doesn't have.

Conor isn't any good at any of Nates weaknesses. Which is how the Diaz bros have been beaten, having their weaknesses exploited. They've never been out boxed, which is all Conor can really do.

 

[El Hombre]

Conor's head is fucking massive.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Main potential prob I see in this fight is Nates timing, rythym, and accuracy being way off, from complete lack of sparring / training.

>IF< he can even get the jab pumping at decent accuracy, he can make this a dogfight.

Diaz admitted he took that fight even though he was injured and out of shape to get paid. What is that, one fight out of 20 something ufc fights?

Struve's height got him a long way.. alllllllll the way down to the canvas!

You should ask Jones. So should Struve actually...

Bad example struve is terrible at using his reach and height.

Two different pictures and not of the fighters together???

Height and reach doesn't mean shit in the McGregor division.

KJ Noons boxed Nick up.

 

[DaIrishBadBoy]

Height and reach can be a positive if you have excellent defence and can keep your opponent at distance, otherwise being the taller/bigger guy becomes a real disadvantage once you allow the smaller guy to close the distance.

However, McGregor is the stronger fighter, has better movement and a higher fight IQ, so I doubt he will be concerned by Nate looking gangly due to his extra height.
