The Reason Conor "Gassed".

[TallGHunter]

The excuses of fighting at a higher weight - (ie - the weight he spars at every day of camp) is weak.

The reason Conor "gassed" is because he hit Nate with his best shots and then Nate started coming on. Nate broke him, and Conor curdled like milk in the hot sun.

Conoor doesn't have near as much heart as mouth, but he sure can tap.

[mangokush]

Conor lost because Diaz won

 

[Dragon Punch]

Also because too much touch butt at the park with the ponytailed goof instead of actual training.

Thought you was gonna say USADA

I did not know this before, but now I do know this. Thank you

he gained 15 pounds he prolly did no cardio workouts and prolly doesnt do much to begin with i coulda threw my back out swinging for a 3 minute round and still not gassed out that bad that was just pathetic im sorry but it was a pro fighter that can barley go one round gtfo and work on your cardio

 

[dragonsfly]

I do agree

Come on the guys been prepping for a fight and you think he's not doing cardio? That's not how a camp works.

He was broke, plain and simple and he gave up. Diaz is a badass that took some shots and brought it on.
Stockton motherfucker.

If you want to give Conor the out on him gassing due to weight, then there's no way you can claim Mendes was 'picked apart' by him.

 

[berimBOWLoh]

he looked small in there. i think he cut height ala Shane Carwin and just like Carwin it caused some kind of rare lactic acid build up in his arms.

its a sad but common side effect of height cutting.

And meanwhile, people are trying to restrict only weight cutting.

 

[Kick Strickland]

He gassed because every shot he threw was full force. That's why the Diaz bros don't do that. That's the difference between seasoned professionals and flash in the pan noobs.

 

[TallGHunter]

So Kick S., just how many shots did Conor throw in FIVE MINUTES that gassed him? Wouldn't be in very good condition would he? It wasn't his conditioning, it was he mentally broke when Nate is telling him to come on after he's landed his best shots.

 

[The Todd]

Tell the best fighter in the world to try and finish the diaz brothers in one round and its not gonna end well for them.

Condit was smart. Connor wasnt.

 

[TallGHunter]

You're right, but imo Nate has better footwork than Nick. Nick is more of a flat footed stalker.

I find it hard to believe Conor was able to put on weight while also putting in the necessary work required to compete for 5 rounds at the elite level.
