all that matters is how a fight ends, i get it. And maybe it wasn't a 10-8 but i need eyes on this ;)

but don't f*****g tell me if Conor wasn't determined to win with "the left uppercut" or his "capoeira" kick - eventually Nate's right eye wouldn't have burst in it's socket.

Conor gassed and left his chin up.

There is no butt-hurt, or jimmies rustled. Simply, frustration that Conor was doing the damn thing, quite handily, but kept searching for the rear uppercut and capoeira kick simply to fulfill a prophecy.

and don't get me started on how Ronda might beat Meisha then retire without fighting Holm again.
 
McGregor did not gass at all, let's be serious. LWs don't gass in the second round, especially not when they have had a full camp.

He won round 1 , a standard 10-9.

But in the second he got completely beaten up.
 
Diaz landed more, landed a higher percentage of punches thrown, and was winning round 2 before the panic. Mcgregor only beats midgets.

Fight was eerily similar to Gomi vs Nick. Conor was winning handily, then gassed due to a combination of the pace of the fight and getting tagged. Went for an ill advised takedown then got choked out on the ground.

You had to bump your own thread. This says everything about your little tantrum.

Conor won the first round, Conor lost the fight. Conor should stay in 145, I don't see him doing any better against RDA or any other top 10 155er.

McGegor did well round 1, but not enough to win. He got beaten up round 2.

If McGregor is only a first round fighter then he is going to run into a lot of problems.

i had to bump my own thread because all these moutbreathers that are making speculations re: where Conor should stay etc, don't seem to have watched the fight i watched where Conor fought the second round having seemingly told himself, "you're only allowed to finish the fight with the left uppercut or capoeira floor touch kick."

the first round made it seem as if his left cross was on a string being pulled to Nate's right eye. Had he stick attempted to let that play out...i speculate the fight never goes to the ground.
 
Conor did splendidly in the first round, Diaz is just some kind of freak. He is THE least finishable non-champion fighter in the UFC. One poster called him extremely durable. I actually agree with you TS.

And of course I would never deny that Diaz is way superior on the ground and that ultimately is what defeated Conor but anyone who was not very impressed by Conor's first round is a whole list of thesaurus equivalents to the word 'dumbass.' RDA would NOT have been able to survive those shots. He may well have been able to avoid taking them but he would not have been able to survive them.
 
Why isn't anyone wondering why he supposedly gassed in the second round of a fight he didn't cut any weight for while having a complete training camp. It's an absurd claim. His cardio is fine. He didn't gas. He got punched in the head too many times which deteriorates motor function and looks a lot like fatigue. Any fight fan should be able to see it and draw the simple conclusion.

I think he showed in the Holloway fight he isn't just a 1st round fighter. Fighting a Diaz is a lot different to fighting anybody else though. You can beat the shit out of them and they'll keep coming at you and not even slow their pace.
 
He didn't gas, Nate found his rhythm in the 2nd and rocked Conor bad.

Conor reverted to the Panicked Wrestler mentality and tried taking Nate down to avoid getting KOd on the feet

Nate just happened to be really good at BBJ and choked out the wobbled Conor


The End
 
I can't believe people actually believe Conor "gassed" the second round. What an ignorant statement. The dude is extremely conditioned and obviously trains hours upon hours a day and has always performed under pressure. This wasn't an adrenaline dump, or gassing. The dude got clocked, plain and simple.

It wasn't that similar to Nick vs Gomi.

In Nick vs. Gomi you had a very high pace fight, with Gomi dominating Nick standing at the beginning of the fight and hurting him multiple times, even dropping him. Conor never hurt Nate in their fight at all, he opened up a cut but that's the only visible damage Conor inflicted in the fight. None of his punches rocked Nate, knocked him down, or even hurt him. Gomi gassed before the end of the first round and Nick was starting to tag him at will, when the 2nd round starts it was clear Gomi had nothing left and shot for a desperation takedown while being gassed. Conor and Nate's 2nd round started with Conor looking fresh, throwing combinations and multiple spinning kicks at Nate. Even landed a hard body shot while he had Nate up against the cage. Conor didn't show any signs of fading until Nate knocked him backwards with a solid 1-2 combo. And from that point forward Conor had nothing left, he was hurt and Nate didn't give him a chance to recover and kept hitting him with punches, and landed a solid knee to the body while in the clinch. Conor eventually shot for a desperation takedown that led to him getting submitted.
 
For the last time, he didn't fucking gas. He got rocked. And he was active before he got rocked as well. He won a somewhat competitive first round but Nate found his rhythm in the second and showed it.

He didn't gas but even if he did, it's his own damn fault. The better fighter won at UFC 196
