mcgregor vs diaz confirmed

[ashketchup963]

Holloway, Brandao, Mendes, and now Diaz.




I doubt all these "late replacement" fights are a coincidence. I guess Dana figures he better secure his invesment with paige/sage/ronda going up in smoke

They have Conor fight at 170, so he can get a title shot against Lawler at UFC200, still

If that's the case, Conor should be careful what he wishes for. Robbie is no one's bum and could and probably will hurt Conor.

[infinityplus1]

Will this be for an interim title or nah?

Agree. I like Conor a lot, and I think he beats Diaz solidly...But Lawler is a whole 'nother ball game

I could See Conor having a reasonable chance to take out RDA in the first couple rounds, but I see slim-to-none chances of beating Lawler at all

But, he's a lunatic, so what the fuk do I know?

[scooterbrah]

Will this be for an interim title or nah?

why would it be?

[DrunkMechanic]

Diaz is probably googling "how to pass urine test for weed quick" right now

for sure, the first thing he did when he came home was probably rip a bong lmao

the diaz brahs said all they would do is fight the big fights.. good for nate tbh

[Admos]

The line looks about right.

[scooterbrah]

lold

[jamez123]

lol @ you believing anything Dana says. Let's not act like this is the first time Dana has put words into Diaz's mouth. And even if that might be a reason, this still gives Conor plenty of room for an argument at a 170 title fight. Call it what you want, but you can bet UFC will shove Conor down our throats if he wins at 170 and Conor will damn well take advantage of it. Taking this fight at 170 just opened up 3 weight classes for Conor and he didn't even have to fight RDA or at 155lbs yet.

If Conor wins, UFC hype machine and Conor will just be like "Conor went up 2 full weight classes less than 2 weeks away from a title fight and went on to beat Nate Diaz! Give him a title shot at 170 now since RDA was injured!" Blah blah

who said anything about dana? that's what diaz's homies said on twitter earlier... don't be a dunsky

It's a conspiracy man

God bless Nate Diaz, only he would think a 170lb fight would be for the 145lb title.
Are the people around him as thrown as he is, or did they just conclude it's easier to just train the guy and let him live in his own world.

I want Diaz to win and see his reaction when he realizes he doesn't get a belt out of it.

[MaximusPlatypus]

Oh chit. This is a welter-weight fight? I'm excited to see to see how fairs against the big boy... though, if its that high in weight, I wish it was Nick instead of Nate. A man can dream I suppose.

Nick would ravage Conor.. he's just too big. Remember Nick handled Anderson silva very well at 185.

[Skeeeeet]

[GBLynden]

Conner might get beat at 170. It might make sense to lay some money down on Diaz.

[TheArcadian]

If Conor wins I really hope it sets up a GSP superfight

How crazy would it be for McNugget to take 170 and our savior rises from the ashes to dismantle McGOAT

[RoccoTanno123]

Not likely unless better odds emerge. Diaz's style very much relies on him having a gas tank advantage and this is a short notice fight. Nate also doesn't have as much punching power as his brother. He will have some reach, which will be interesting, but movement and kicking are kyrponite to both of the Diaz brothers. Conor can do both of those quite well.

Can't tell if you're trolling or what?

[HateyouOP]

Absolute meh

[EoR]

Read Nate is making 500K for this fight

Plus anywhere from 125k-250k for his next few fights

Conors changed another bums life

This. Fighters want that easy pay day, there should be some form of tax fighting Connor lol, because he's like a separate division with all the money he can even make for someone who loses.

Oh and another massive fight stopped because of "injuries". Either fabrication or sh*thouse training safety. It probably makes them both more money in the long run.

[PrettyPinkDonut]

I'm more retarded than Diaz....disregard
In my defense I can't read that hashtag orgy bull**** people do now-a-days

[ElixanderVild1]

Most fighters would drop out and not risk a loss for no real gain, so respect Conor for that much at least. Hope he wins and stops Nate and sets up a fight against Robbie/GSP at UFC 200.

Got himself in a good position if he wins where he can have a fight at the three different weight classes, 2 for titles and one in defence of his title, all very big money fights and if he chooses to walk away rich and with his brain unscrambled. Beat Nate, fight Lawler for the title.. Then fight RDA, defend against Aldo, go back up and super fight with GSP... Leave the UFC a legend.

[2011fastford]

people counting out Diaz in here....

Diaz cuts really good angles and has very good boxing, he also has a high level ground game... I think this has potential to be a very competitive match up

[kathebrahl]

[anonymous]

Do you guys think Nata might be stronger than Conor considering he doesn't really need to cut to much? He walks around at like 190+ I believe?

What if he tries to grapple **** him?

[sloop]

I can see it ending like this:

Refs stop the fight in the 2nd or 3rd round with Conor winning.

Nate is furious and attacks Conor after the bell has rung.

profit

If Nate makes it to the 3rd round the fight will start to heavily go in his favor..
