His striking is much better? - No

Is he faster? - Yes

His gas tank is better? - No

He got longer camp? - Yes

I think it will be very close fight.


Diaz via decision or tko/sub in round 4.

can't wait to quote this after conor makes it look easy, you're about to see conor true power march 5 lmao

Nate's cardio shouldn't be too bad. By all indications he's been staying in shape.

Except for when he was saying "meh, I haven't even had a camp for this"

Conor will basically be fighting at the same weight he would be if the fight were at 155. Nate and Conor aren't going to be the size of normal 170ers who cut 20-30 lbs to make the limit. It's basically a LW fight where both fighters cut only 5ish pounds instead of 20+ pounds.

Yet, we don't know how Connor would fight at 155 either.

A fighter having to weigh in at 145 in one fight, and 156-170 the next, and fighting someone with significant size, weight, and reach advantages and will probably be at least 180 pounds.... all this combined leads to even more unknowns than most fights.

Professional fight analysers that set betting lines would be smart to not set a wide spread.

Such a hardcore MMA fan you're following semi-underground fighters when nobody else is, yet you just joined the oldest MMA media site yesterday.

"Gee guys, after a decade of following MMA I've finally decided to start discussing it with folks online!"

Right.

LOL! I was thinking the same thing. So hardcore jumping on the McGregor bandwagon.

Anyone who truly been following mma would know that Diaz has a good chance.

 

[lock-jaw]

War Diaz, War McGregor.

Can someone educate me as to what this means?

 

[ThaiPlumRillo]

After a few failed spin kicks, connors going to meet the ole 1-2 from nate for atleast 3 rounds.

Conor has fought at 155 before so we do have some idea how he performs (speed, reflexes, etc.). It's against lower level competition though so we can't make direct assumptions.

As for fighting someone with a size advantage, I agree that could be a factor. My main point was that people are talking about Connor going up 2 weight classes and fighting a 'WW' when realistically both are LWs who are going to step into the Octagon at close to the fight weight they'd be if it were a LW bout. So difference isn't really fight weight but pre fight weight cut.

Maybe you are right. It's fighting business not mathematics. Anyway I would bet on Diaz.

 

[OverCoronavirus Pressure]

Just like they did ronda

Haven't seen a ronda thread in like a month

Yah, they only want to call her fat and unskilled these days.
It's tough on this forum for a fighter to keep love, not so hard to get it

Right.

Maybe he was that guy that posted a thread that rda got injured before he actually did and got banned. Or was he not?

 

[Bjjpitbull8]

Because I like Nate always have appreciated his style.

Because I can't stand Conor due to his fan boys.

Do you Conor freaks get that Diaz brothers have kept their fan base win lose or draw and stood the test of time? Conor will fade like Ronda after he gets beat. Nate is a stylistic nightmare for Conor the only thing going against him is a small window to prepare.

Diaz said that he might get murked. Not sure if he is even betting on himself.

 

[Fatal Catro]

I like Nate and do not care for Conor; still picking Conor to win.

 

[chiefwiggum]

Sure, if you have an 11 year old account then I'm down. If not, find someone else... Ya bum.

Mines pretty old and I would bet, but I don't want to root against Diaz for the sake of my sherdog account.

Shogun is proof that you can lose most of the time and still remain a Sherdog thread favorite.

[BustaHimes]

Nate Diaz will have a gastank as deep as a puddle of cat piss with a 1 week camp.
I like the Diaz Brothers, but Nate isn't championship material. With a 1 week camp, the tools he does have will not work. He simply will not be able to keep up with McGregor's pace.
I am looking forward to the fight, but this was a fight that was put on to save this card.
1 Week camp Nate does not pose a threat to McGregor.

Cliffs: Dat cardio on Nate will be as deep as a puddle of cat piss. War Diaz, War McGregor.

Good thread rothnroll, you impress again
