OFFICIAL: Conor McGregor vs. Nate Diaz @ 170lbs Headlines UFC 196 (Poll)

[dickcheney]

Yeah, this (Thompson) keeps popping in my head when I think of his chances

 

[The Bard]

I love Conor's willingness to fight anyone, but Diaz at 170 is a bad business decision.

 

[Drake]

I saw about 10 polls on twitter today and they all voted Nate Diaz. The fans want to see nate diaz!

I just think Cowboy makes a lot more sense, is more ready & a tougher opponent.

 

[Aerose91]

Yep

Wow. Well, i guess it helps Diaz ever so slightly since he won't have to cut weight

 

[DaffodilMcWoozy]

Time to promote Holly to the main event and main poster spot.

I forgot those two were fighting

 

[Kotoamatsukami]

Conor by R2 TKO sounds right

 

[KillerElite]

Diaz 1,2,5

 

[Broad Blade]

I like 170lbs better considering the circumstances from both sides... Very exciting and intriguing fight...

 

[Drake]

Do we have a bet or not?

I said no in the other thread. Not really a Conor fan.

 

[MusterX]

170? Dayum. Respect.

Why? He isn't fighting a welter, he is fighting a 155'er. The top Welters are going to be much bigger.

 

[chunglii]

Meh. 170 and Diaz and still the main event. Just meh.

Shut up. You're gonna watch it and like it.

 

[Codpiece]

Wait, Nate at 170?

I think they could have chosen Cody McKenzie and you would still have picked Cody.

Conor denyers make me LOL. Continue.

McKenzie via KO

[SublimeSun]

What an awesome fight! Both guys are going to bring it. I gotta go with Conor, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Nate rough him up.

 

[Drunk Bum]

Lol the butthurt when Conor gets subbed by Nate

 

[MTL]

This being at WW is weird.

I think it's better that way actually. If Nate loses no one can say "well he only had 10 days to make weight". No cutting required. Just show up and fight. The only thing that would have been positive about this being at LW would be if Conor wins, it would make him a ranked LW.

Very interesting. Lets see how Connor deals with being at a disadvantage height and reach wise. And if it hits the ground it may be over he will sub Connor easily

 

[Substance Abuse]

Beating a bloated Diaz does not mean he's walking away with that belt when Lawler, Condit, Woodley, Wonderboy and other guys are walking around at 170.

I don't think Diaz has much of a chance in this fight either.
