By the way mewse, I'm happy to redo our bet for the rematch - I'll take a 30 day probation if Diaz goes full Dracula (again), you can take a week off if Diaz loses. Also, hat.

Touch butt in the park is never going anywhere so Nate wins all fights with Conor forever.

If Conor wins the rematch vs Nate, I will take a significant hit to my personal wealth. So I will be upset.

He definitely had success with some leg kicks and he is actually pretty good at fighting and hopefully gameplanning. Like people have said the result of the fight won't change their divisions very much but I do want to see it.

I think it's a winnable fight for both guys and won't be super surprised either way, but if I had to call it I'd go with Nate based solely on the fact that he weathered a storm of offensive pressure that was way worse than anything Conor ever put on any of his previous opponents, came back to finish him in the second round, and did it with virtually no sparring to get ready for the fight. Conor probably has to just accept he's not going to get a spectacular KO on Nate and go for a decision. threeagainstfour fucked around with this message at 22:55 on Jun 29, 2016 |

Everybodys favorite Coach talking about McGregor vs Diaz quote:The Aldo fight was such a big result for the gym and the country, that we all took the foot off the pedal,” he told MMAjunkie. “Then you’re straight into another one, and it’s hard to explain the mindset at the time, but it was a bit of a circus, almost like it was a pretend fight.

I'd ask what this threads going to do when Lesnar beats hunt but I already seen body snatchers so I know it's just going to be pointing and high pitched shrieks for a good bit and then as it tails off a single mournful cry: "his tattoo looks like a penis to meeeeeee"

threeagainstfour posted:Conor probably has to just accept he's not going to get a spectacular KO on Nate and go for a decision. In his whole career Conor has only ever won ONE fight by decision, which was when he tore his ACL during the fight to Max Holloway and wrestled his way to the scorecards. Apart from that exception, he wins fights by overwhelming opponents with his pace and aggression until they make a mistake he can exploit with his heavy, pinpoint accurate left hand. people seem to expect a kind of versatility from fighters that almost nobody ever displays. Most guys fight in a particular way according to their preference and skills, and they'll make adjustments and improvements over time if they're any good, but it's very rare to see somebody come out looking like a different fighter. Even more rare for that to be successful. The best example of a guy making a smart choice like that is, ironically, Condit-Diaz. IMO Conor won't fight that fight, and I don't know if he would even be successful at it. Five rounds with Nate Diaz is a tall order for a guy who typically finishes fights in the first and who was visibly slowing by the end of the first round, the last time he fought this same guy. On the other hand, it's entirely possible Conor could make some kind of adjustment to the strategy he used the first time, and KO Nate.

people here like to say nate didnt train for the fight but conor didnt train specifically for nate either. this is just conjecture on my part but i think conor is the kind of person who needs to do everything perfectly in order to prepare for a fight and while he was leaner than nate for the fight he was most likely basically just as unprepared as nate was. its not like nate was unfit for the fight even if he was on a boat like he says, cos if he was unfit, he would have blown up just like conor did. so i think conor will look better in the 2nd fight

Not saying Conor is a worse athlete or that Nate is betting. But you can't argue that having a camp and sparring to prepare for a fight isn't better than not being able to do those things. Furthermore, Conor has openly proclaimed that he never trains for any specific opponent, just trains to fight. If that's the case, then he wouldn't change his game plan at all vs Nate in either fight.

Theres more to it than conditioning. There was a significant skill difference in the boxing between those two, and is a few months really enough for Conor to make enough improvement in his game in that area? Probably not. He can gameplan better and say he wants a camp focused on Nate but that skill gap isn't going to be closed much.
