http://mmadecisions.com/decision/7244/Conor-McGregor-vs-Nate-Diaz just gonna leave this here

I'm a huge Nate Diaz fan too, but McGregor won that. Draw at worst. Respect for a great fight that lived up to its hype 

 

[sneakerjunkie]

RD 3 Was one of the best rounds ive seen in a long time

 

[af1 1982]

Nate won the overall fight. But in the time constraints of the round format, Conor won.

i just think it's crazy that conor didnt cut any weight at all and pretty much gassed the exact same way

 

[QU!K]

Conor not built for 170

 

[dman14]

Conor not built for 170

rumble johnson use to fight at 170

Cutting too much weight causes cardio issues. Walking around with too much extra masss causes it as well.

Got find that sweet spot, which I think is 155 for him.

Or maybe Conor just isn't built for five rounds

seriously?  lets not make it seem like conor was pigging out

this guy is pretty much at his natural weight

its no coincidence that he tries to finish people in the 1st

Yes seriously. Carrying around extra weight that you're not used to carrying around while fighting has a tremendous impact on cardio.

 

[M. Fresh]

I'm ready to see Conor go back to his division and do his thing. I doubt we will see it with all this trilogy talk

 

[af1 1982]

Conor got two trilogies lined up: one with Diaz and one after Aldo washes him

 

[thehealthinspector]

Yes seriously. Carrying around extra weight that you're not used to carrying around while fighting has a tremendous impact on cardio.

how is he not used to carrying it?

how much of his 3+ month camp do you think he spends near 145?

 

[xbiker47]

happy with the result

give us part 3

i agree, ultimately these dudes just wasting time fighting each other.

I'm talking carrying it while fighting. I gotta dig it up but rogan had a good discussion on this.

And let's not act like Conor wasn't pigging out. Watch the promos from when RDA was still in the picture. Dude was talking about eating steaks every meal.

come on man, how much do you think he weighs fight night at featherweight?

 

[dman14]

they gonna hold 145 belt hostage again and move forward with a trilogy. even though i could care less about belts, it's only right for aldo to get his rematch

interesting to see a lot of fighters saying nate won

This version of Mystic Mac at 145 destroys Josie a second time

 

[af1 1982]

Not 168 like he did tonight, that's for sure. Just look at the bodies from the196/202 to 189/194.

Complete difference

i keep saying this but its a farce on behalf of the ufc

after the first fight, why are they still marketing this guy as a champion for the fight?

i saw it twice tonight, who cares that he's the 145 lb champ

 

[QU!K]

@RustyShackleford

 

[boxer15]

This version isn't making 145 and will literally speed walk away from legit exchanges.

 

[thehealthinspector]

Complete difference

my point is this guy spends way more time near 168 than 145, especially during training

i dont buy into this nonsense that 5 lbs is going to exhaust him

You're missing MY point.

For the third time, carrying around extra weight in an actual fight 100% has an effect on cardio.

Jog a mile. Then jog a mile with a 5-10 lb strapped to your back.

It's simple physics my G Work = force * distance.

Force = mass* acceleration. More mass = more force = more work required
