UFC/MMA in 2016

[Marciano490]

Nate needs to pull that jab back.

 

[Marciano490]

Diaz looks terrible. Getting hit over the top by CM's straight left every time he throws. Bigger problem than the leg kicks even.

 

[TSC]

First round to McGregor?

 

[rodderick]

Easy 10-9 for Conor. Came in with a much smarter gameplan.

 

[bibajesus]

I can't believe he hasn't planned for that leg kick. It's been a known weakness.

 

[TSC]

So I'll ask Marcino - when McGregor is landing these punched that are putting Diaz on his back, why is he not being more aggressive in coming back at Diaz when he gets up? I imagine those hits are dazing Diaz a bit and slowing him down - why not come at him quick and force him to react and possibly open him up?

 

[Curll]

Jeezus, this is a precision hit job.

 

[bibajesus]

Diaz is bleeding, it's on now. He is like a shark who chums his own water.

 

[Curll]

Jeezus, this is a precision hit job.

And as I type that...

 

[ypioca]

That turned pretty quickly.

Those seemed like flash knockdowns. Looked like Diaz was clear headed the second he hit the canvas. It's easier to tell in person. But also with Nate's toughness and conditioning you don't wanna be too aggressive. Also, Conor is a counterpuncher and reactor. Taking the lead and being aggressive aren't in his game plan.

 

[TSC]

Man, is McGregor really tiring that quickly? Why the fuck is his cardio so bad that this has happened both times he fought Diaz now?

Cool, makes sense. Thank you.

 

[rodderick]

Second round was classic Diaz. Conor better have a lot left in his tank.

It's hard to gain weight and work on conditioning and adjust to the extra poundage.

 

[TSC]

He looks done. This is the first fight all over again, barring something drastic.

 

[Marciano490]

Though this is an absurd level of fatigue this early.

 

[Curll]

This is a Rocky fight

 

[Marciano490]

Oh shit.

 

[Marciano490]

Those last body shots aren't helping his wind.

 

[ypioca]

He looks dead.

 

[rodderick]

Flash KO pretty much Conor's only hope. He looks done.

 

[Marciano490]

Nate being smart here. Don't go right in after CM got a little rest.

 

[Curll]

Diaz looks like he's fading.

 

[Marciano490]

Though he can't let this go to 2-2 by giving this round away.

 

[TSC]

I almost wonder if it takes more out of Connor to throw the punches, that it does for Diaz to take em. They look soft coming in.

 

[Marciano490]

Conor's got his snap back.

 

[bibajesus]

Awesome fight. One guy fighting for his career, one guy fighting cause that's all he knows.

 

[Marciano490]

2-2 going into the last round.

 

[Curll]

Diaz's leg is nasty

 

[TSC]

Awesome fight. One guy fighting for his career, one guy fighting cause that's all he knows.

Thanks Don LaFontaine.

 

[rodderick]

Conor fared better in the fourth than I thought he would. Nate fading a bit. I score it 2-2, but I have a feeling we'll have a controversial decision coming our way.

 

[bibajesus]

No problem, but with all my concussions I'm more like pat LaFontaine.

 

[Curll]

CM wins the 5th

 

[Marciano490]

Nate should win 3-2, but I can see the ufc giving it to their cash cow.

 

[luckiestman]

Mick
Nate
Nate
Mick
Nate

 

[Marciano490]

CM wins the 5th

No.

 

[ypioca]

Did Goldberg just say "biggest fight in MMA history"? Like, it's not even a title fight.

Hell of a war, though.

 

[Curll]

I had Mick winning the 5th for stuffing the take downs and controlling the clinch from the fence.

 

[rodderick]

Close fight. Have it 3-2 Diaz, but who the fuck knows with UFC judges.

 

[bibajesus]

It's gonna be CM, ufc is as reputable as AIBA.

 

[luckiestman]

I had Mick winning the 5th for stuffing the take downs and controlling the clinch from the fence.

He got taken down bro

 

[Curll]

He got taken down bro

That happen 2 seconds after I hit enter

 

[rodderick]

He got taken down bro

Also, Nate had most of the clinch control.

 

[Marciano490]

Dana White getting out the eraser.

 

[bibajesus]

CM didn't pick his round this time?

 

[luckiestman]

What bullshit

 

[luckiestman]

Rubber match is for the money. Nate never thought he would get so rich

 

[TSC]

Damn.

I mean, Diaz LOOKS like he lost the fight - but I don't know. This feels dirty.

 

[ypioca]

Suuuuuure.
