I mean, they give few fucks, say crazy dumb shit, and throw punches in bunches even to their detriment. Even if you hate them I dunno how you can say they're not good heels. If I were a promoter I'd take 10 just like them.
Yes. There is at least a 1/3 chance that the fight gets to the ground and Connor gets submitted via some actual Jiu Jitsu.Anyone else think Diaz +400 is a decent bet? His reach is something I don't think Conor has experienced and Diaz has a big advantage on the ground. Crazy to think this is a coin flip with a lot of hype betting pushing the line?
Why? He gets more fights out of that crap division. Ronda can destroy Tate again then it's a bigger buildup to her rematch with Holm. If Holly had blown Tate out there's just the semi interesting rematch with Ronda.I would be fuming if I were Dana.
I suppose but Ronda/Holm would have been a better fight to sell if Ronda were on "the road to redemption."Why? He gets more fights out of that crap division. Ronda can destroy Tate again then it's a bigger buildup to her rematch with Holm. If Holly had blown Tate out there's just the semi interesting rematch with Ronda.
can I take that back wtf, Diaz playing possum or something?Diaz is toast, already looks gassed. Conor just a much better fighter.
Have you seen Diaz fight? He always looks stoned bloody and hurt.can I take that back wtf, Diaz playing possum or something?
I was happy with my +300.Fuck I called this but didn't get +400 so didn't take it.
I thought he was looking sharp until he took one on the chin and then his eye lids immediately got heavy. I don't think that was gas.Conor should have stayed at 250, extra weight just gassed him. Diaz wouldn't have knocked him out at any weight. Would have been better off being lighter and picking him apart. Prob wanted the knockout and cost himself the win.
Yeah. He was hitting forearms and elbows and not getting through to the head and body. Not sure that's true. He just didn't have the power to keep Diaz off him or the chin to take Diaz's punches. Not like Nate was turning those over even."I hit too much arms"
Please tell me that's a boxing phrase and not that he did too many curls.
Is St. Pierre coming back?
Bjj is great, but when a dude is flopping around on his back trying not to get hit with his head and neck totally unprotected, you don't need to be Penn or Gracie to throw a choke on him.
Wrong weight class.Connor is a front runner. Give him Nurmagomedov and he'll lose his belt too.
That was awesome. I think Conor was just too big for this fight. Cardio didn't adjust to his new weight. He also seemed to go all in for the KO rd1 throwing some uncharasteric huge bombsTate, on the other hand, did a helluva job scrambling to lock that in then holding it through the flip.
How can anyone justify McGregor getting a shot at the lightweight champ when he just lost to the #5 guy in the lightweight division? I know they fought at 170, but Diaz is still a lightweight fighter. I'm sure 155 is in McGregor's future, but I think he'll need to defend at 145 a time or two before he takes another shot at 155, and when he does, he'll have to beat someone at 155 before he gets a shot at that title.I wanna see him fight RDA at 155 though. He would definitely be ready in time for 200 off the broken foot.
