[Boss]

It's all just kicked off in the McGregor vs Diaz press conference. The pair of them were launching bottles at each other from one side of the venue to the other.

 

[Spy Bee]

I'd really like McGregor to win, but the only way he can is to hit and run, and I just don't see that going down.

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

Seemed a bit pathetic tbh. Handbags. They're going to be beating the cunt out of each other. Why lob a water bottle at all?

I fucking love Diaz. Hope he wins again.

[Welsh]

I think it's obvious how much I dislike the type of fans McGregor has brought to this sport and for this alone I hope Diaz smashes him.

The UFC has turned into the WWE the past few years

McGregor has accelerated that, even if he didn't start it. Being Irish, I still want him to win. But i'm starting to cringe an awful lot at the whole charade.

Anyone gonna make it to 5am? Can see mcgregor keeping his distance and trying to pick him off. I doubt he'll go all out for the finish like the last fight.

 

Obviously it's good for business if Conor wins, so for that reason, and just cos he's fucking ace, would be nice to see Diaz knocking him clean out.

 

I genuinely like both guys, so it's a win win for me.

[Lee909]

Might have it on while watching tbe Saints game on tv

Never been into the UFC but listened to the hype and watched the first fight between this two whilst on a night shift. It's retained enough interest for me to consider setting my alarm for this. My little girl will be up not long after it so I might as well.

 

How do you see it going? Is Diaz just too big for him? It only took the one punch last time to wobble Mcgregor and ultimately finish the fight. In contrast to McGregor loading up in the early stages, busting Diaz's face up but never really looking like having him in trouble.

 

What's different this time?

[moof]

I think mcgregor went out too hard in the first fight. Most guys can't handle Conor's power, but Diaz has a chin of granite. So because it was his first time fighting at 170 he fatigued quicker than expected, just ended up punching himself out looking for the KO, left himself exposed and when Nate connected, he couldn't recover. This time round Conor is more used to carrying the weight so I'm sure he'll pace himself better. He's been training specifically for Diaz, so lots of jujitsu and boxing with tailored opponents. So there are absolutely no excuses this time, he's fully prepared.

 

For mcgregor to win he needs to keep it standing, use his obvious speed advantage and striking ability to keep Nate on the backfoot. If Nate gets on top he can outbox him, if it goes to the ground, Nate is a bjj black belt with about 15 years of training behind him, under the Gracie banner, super legit, compared to Conor's purple belt, so it's no contest.

 

I genuinely can't call it either way. Exciting as fuck sport, anything could happen.

[moof]

Double post.

[moof]

If I had to make a prediction, I'd go Diaz

Great post mate and sums it up for me.

[njackets]

Can't say I'm that interested, haven't even been arsed watching any of the hype been to much Olympics to watch. Difference between this fight and the last will be Diaz will have more time to train and might finish it earlier.

Stumbled across this the other day

 

 

Still nothing the UFC has ever put on touches this...including these two overhyped trash talk merchants!

[Lee909]

Holy shit on a stick

[Lee909]

McGregors gas tank is awful

Ive never seen a fighter under 150lb struggle so much in the tail end of the 2nd round

He's getting stopped in the 4th isn't he?

[Lee909]

Well ive got Connor 39-37 up going into 5,could possibly see 39-38 10/10 2nd round

[Charles Penrose]

Good fight this.

[moof]

This is a great fucking fight.

[Lee909]

^{3 rounds to 2 for me}

 

^{48-47  for me}

[Charles Penrose]

I've got mcgregor by a round. Think he won 1,2 and 4.

[moof]

Yeah, got Conor ahead, just about.
