RDA may have killed him

[silicavaginitis]

2 week Nate?
C'mon....dude may have to consider other options.

 

[Abysmal]

Got beat by the skinny fat guy that had him all perplexed over his body type.

 

[HAWTRIDDUM]

Conor probably dogged a bullet with RDA getting hurt, being totally honest.

 

[bringitoncomeon]

Dude it's fighting you never know what might happen. Maybe RDA's chin couldn't take those punches you never really know. It's all about matchups

 

[KONE]

RDA might've gotten hurt if Conor landed some of those overhand lefts on him like he did on Nate, never know. But yeah if it got on the ground somehow it would've been over fast.

Nate's toughness and ability to absorb damage is incredibly underrated.

 

[yesitsmario]

Conor needs to stick to 145 until he betters his ground game. Even then, he still needs to watch out for Frankie and (full camp) Mendes.

 

[MarleyLynx]

RDA would've been knocked flat. Signed a conor fan who picked Diaz.

 

[Yonny]

It really all depends if RDA would be able to take the same shots Nate did. If his chin held up he would wear down Connor and the same result would happen. If not Connor might of made quick work of RDA because he doesn't have the same level of boxing skill and length of Diaz.

 

[edirp]

How?

They will be closer in size so I see no way Conor loses. Nate is just too big. More like an 85 pounder on fight night whereas Conor is a 70 pounder at most. Not a fair fight.

are you forgetting how comfortably dos anjos beat nate very recently?

 

[Beorn]

You are aware that Diaz normally fights at 155? Two different body types

 

[MarleyLynx]

an injured nate on 8 days notice who missed weight on a bad cut over 2 years ago

It's the details.
That being said RDA is a monster. He didn't fight the best Nate though and even through that Nate did better than pettis Cerrone and benson.

 

[Loriquero]

I'm not sure about that. I think dos Anjos would have run into Mcgregor's space, taking some heavy shots and maybe being knocked out in two rounds. He doesn't have the range and arguabily the boxing ability that Nate has for dodging Conor's straight left. Nate is just a nightmare matchup for Conor.

But yes, I can't rule out that RDA could do to Conor the same he did to Nate and Pettis. even worse because now we now Conor has worse chin/heart than Nate and Pettis.

 

[WSKUNGFUCLUB]

anyone who doesn't think conor would have gotten AIR TIGHT skullfukked in all holes by RDA doesn't know a thing about MMA. seriously. RDA is the far superior and far more skilled fighter in all aspects than nate diaz. he wouldn't have even gotten tagged like nate did. his first few shots would have destroyed conor. not only that but chubby chad mendez rolled off his couch and EASILY took conor down at will before he gassed. a much bigger and stronger RDA would've had conor on the ground and FINISHED the first time he got his arms around him. total joke. RDA would've murdered conor.

Nah. RDA's kind of famous for walking through punches.

Dude destroyed Anthony Pettis like his strikes meant nothing.

He lost how would he dodge a bullet?

Ever heard of "styles make matches"? We'll know how RDA does against McGregor when they actually fight. But first, McGregor should go back to Featherweight and defend his belt.

 

[Substance Abuse]

Probably.

Cloner never felt power or adversity like that.

Tap or go to sleep.

Holly had more heart that Cloner.

 

[99escobar]

He may have. One thing which isn't being highlighted enough in the aftermath of all this is what an amazing achievement Nate has accomplished.

He beat one of the so called pound for pound best fighters in MMA, the featherweight champion, on less than 10 real days of training.

lol no. RDA is superior to Nate in everything, and would of destroyed Conor.

Name one other fighter Nate would beat that RDA wouldn't. You can't because there isn't and you'd see that if you didn't have Conors nuts in your mouth.
