So Conor has a new infinite gas tank now all of a sudden?

Shiiiiiit, Tony has been documented to be able to cut from 191 to 155? Source? Literally huge if true. Same with Nate walking around at 200lbs.

I'd be less surprised about Conor walking around at 175, but like you said it sounds like that's MAX.

Walk around shape isn't necessarily how they come into their camps regardless. 191 sounds more like a (possibly low, possibly "normal"/high) walk around wait for Tony and 200 sounds too big for Nate- plain and simple.

Yes, I'll find the video of Tony Ferguson confirming that. Give me like 2 minutes.

Conor huge 145 who nearly dies to cut weight, puts it back on and smashes on little people. Yes he is legitmitaley good. But why cant he do the same w Nate? Nate and Conor have height differences but look at their bodies. They do not walk around so different.

jeremy stephens was just on JRE and said he was 176.

jeremy is 4-3 at featherweight.

weight isn't everything.

Nate walks closer to 200 than he does to 170.

Nate is larger than Conor...

That'd be interesting.

This is why when people say Conor should be fighting at 55 I'm baffled because this dude is much bigger than Conor.

Exactly, and to think Conor is going to fight at 170 for the 2nd time...imagine if this guy ends up having to step in for Diaz and Conor doesn't back out? Conor is great, but if he wants to make money for as long as possible he should avoid fights at 55 and 70 with monsters like Ferguson just one class above, along with Rory & co. at 70.

I think Conor should stay at 45 after 202 even if he does win, although I do feel like he had a pretty good chance at knocking out RDA back when that fight was going to happen.
 
Conor's cardio is shit, this was the same obvious weakness Weidman has but his fans kept on making an excuse for every single fight he gassed in (Maia, Silva 1, Machida and finally Rockhold). It is highly unlikely that Conor becomes some cardio machine within a few months and his best chance to win is still an early KO which is not likley given that Diaz took his hardest shots and shrugged them off but it is still possible that Conor knocks him out cold.
 
the only difference in this fight will be a sharper Nate. Conor isn't bringing anything new, the fight is just a reset where he'll have the same puncher's chance he had in the first one, where his chances diminish with each passing minute.

Cool, hes been working on his cardio for a couple months. Nate has been on this game for years. Nate fought out of shape last time and still beat a full camp conor. Conor flys in specialist gets hooked up to some computers and starts running his laps and all of a sudden hes going to be this new cardio machine monster with brutal KO power?

I think NOT

I think so.

He did an 8-12 week intensive championship training camp last time and gassed after 1 round, but he did the same length of camp this time and is going to easily last 5 rounds.

How you ask??

De luck oh de oirish.
 
Yes it's unthinkable that cardio can be improved, it's simply not possible.
