Nate submits him in the 2-3rd. Your prediction for the second fight?

[Walker Smith Jr]

Before the first fight 99% of sherdog predicted "easy ko in the 1st for Conor" while me and other fans knew that Nate will strangle him.

Now when Conor's hype is dead and delusional nuthuggers are extinct. What's your prediction for Nate vs Conor 2?

I see Nate keeping him at range and outstriking him again. Conor's flaws in his boxing will be his downfall.

Diaz submits him in the second.

 

[ditchbankbandit]

I think they will just replay the first fight, no money spent and the fans would be none the wiser.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

I think he finishes what he started, and actually KOs him next time.

With a few Stockton slaps thrown in for good measure:

 

[Neitzsche]

I picked Nate too, 3 to 1 underdog. I was surprised that everybody was picking Conor. Conor's moving up two weight classes, without any real time to gain the weight? C'mooonnnn...

2nd fight....I still pick Diaz, Diaz has unparalleled conditioning. A reach coupled with height that makes it hard for Conor to win even if he paces himself. I wonder what the odds will say..

 

[Walker Smith Jr]

I seriously doubt it. It's really unusual for Nate to tko someone. When he hurts someone he usually goes for a submission.

Would be cool to see tko though

same prediction i had last time Diaz sub round 3

 

[ThaiPlumRillo]

Yea nate by ko or tko this time. Unless connor shoots in again to give up. He definitely thought it'd look less humiliating getting subbed instead of KO'ed.

 

[Guernica]

Since we all know you can't train heart or chin, I'm taking Nate again whithin 3.

points and a decision. Mcgregor

 

[HUNTERMANIA]

Diaz fucks him up worse overall this time, but Conor doesn't gas himself going for the kill this time. Diaz by stoppage rd 4.


Conor is gonna land big shots and fight well... but Diaz is gonna fuck him up, ultimately.

 

[Apollo33]

Diaz unanimous decision

Might be interesting if McGregor decides to train leg kicks. He will come out timid and cautious this time, but there's no way he can out cardio and out point nate in a 5 round fight.

I didn't read anyone so dumb to claim he'd KO him in the first. But to be honest, I'm not real good at paying attention to stupidity. I actually thought Conor had better fight IQ than to try and bully KO Nate and would be in better shape, get a UD. Boy was my face...smiling like a mofo. The first time I actually picked Conor since Brimage and he, again, proves me wrong. Still smiling though.

Conor has no business being in there with Nate. Especially at 170. Go back to 145 MAYBE try a contender fight at 155. Nate finishes him again. Maybe it will take a bit longer. Chokey chokey.

 

[Legumes]

I'm picking Diaz to take the win again. Conor's best chance in my opinion is a stoppage early on. If that doesn't happen Nate takes over the fight. His cardio, durability, reach, and volume will present problems for Conor even if he fights much smarter this time around.

 

[Cat Biscuits]

Conor will learn from his mistake of underestimating Diaz and slow his pace down. Diaz still puts it on him and Conor channels his inner wrestler again.
