UFC 202: Diaz vs. McGregor II-The Official Live Discussion Thread!

[Jasonw1178]

I gave Nate Rounds 3 and 5. I just can't wrap my head around giving Round 2 to a guy who was dropped twice.

Agreed.

When watching the fight I'd have to say Nate was the more dominant fighter but he lost the fight. Connor controlled the fight most of the time, forcing Nate to enter a kickboxing match. Even though Nate has the better build for that, he lacks skill there. He did not down Connor once, except for the very end where honestly it looks more like they both fell out of pure exhaustion. Nate whining about Connor "running away" but then again he just layed there on the mat a few times but the ref wouldn't let him just lay there, especially after being punched down in all cases. Connor was just using movement to put Nate where he wanted him. He gave chase. If he just stood there the ref might have came down on Connor. Connor didn't write the rules. It's one of those things where the smarter man uses the rules to his advantage. Nate ain't all that bright. Either way it was a good fight. The whole fight they were going at it.

You gave Nate Rounds 2, 3, and 5?

I disagree with that, but you're not the only one I've seen say that.

I wasn't scoring the fight round by round just enjoying it as a whole that's why I felt nate might have won... looking back I can see how I was wrong in thinking that

[jamez123]

202 was a great ****kin card.

Cerrone's perfect combo.
Rumble with epic power.
Diaz looked like he was getting steam rolled in 1-2, mcgregor looked gassed out and ready to fold in 3, probably the most kick ass fight since Lawler/Rory.

[Dizzie38]

I was rooting for Diaz just like the first fight. I guess I can relate to the Diaz brothers as I grew up in **** circumstances with my brother. Never been so happy for a guy I've never met making that much dough.

The fight was fukin awesome. I thought Diaz took it but yeah looking back I think it was the correct decision 3-2 because of the knockdowns. I was bewildered when Diaz stopped pressuring in the 4th. If he kept it up he could have won. Kudos to both fighters and I look forward to the trilogy.

Conor whoops Aldo, then Alvares/LW champion then a title fight at 155 with Diaz. Nate then wins the belt and retires. Chit would be like a movie.

Surprised people would give nate round 2. Is landing some shots in the last minute of a round really enough to turn around the scoring in your favor when you were getting controlled pretty well for almost 4 minutes aswell as knocked on your ass twice?

Watching the fight I thought he won that round because of the previous fight. I thought Conor was gonna get finished 2/3 rounds as he looked tired and also all the hype because Nate just came out of nowhere after getting his ass beat for the majority of the fight up until that point. And also some bias.

How much did you guys end up betting? How long is the ban?

I hate ban bets... we have so few regulars around here to dilute the idiots. Every regular that leaves means one more post from KingSWRV I have to read.

I had it same as you but I can definitely see how people could scored the 2nd for Diaz, he did have more total strikes landed in that round

I do think anyone saying it was either a dominant performance or a robbery are idiots though.

[ComesticSurgery]

LOL Diaz Fairweather fans can't even get the rounds he won right. Brb some people say 2,3,5. some say last 3 rounds. some say he won round 3 10-8. LMFAO at the excuses. I had money on it and I wasn't sweating the decision one bit just like every other knowledgeable mma analyst.

I think Aldo is not big enough to handle McGregor. McGregor was walking through guys and Aldo cannot take too many of those power shots. Unless he can't beat up on the ground, McGregor should win vs Aldo.

Not sure how McGregor would do against the top LWs. His take down defense seems to have improved as he seems to be focused on improving his BJJ with that Dillon Danis guy.

lol. KingSWRV is gonna be going in dry the next couple of weeks after that fight too.

This, plus I see tons of Daiz sack puppies claiming that round 3 was 10-8 but round 1 wasn't. Plus "he was scared the whole fight, he ran, he was scared homie." The casuals who root for Diaz diminish what was a great fight

[Artyforever]

[chalup]

how long did you take a ban for?

We dropped it down to a month and 50 bucks, more pissed off nate lost more than anything. I was extremely intoxicated I might try to go through the videos I recorded during my drunken escapades, was also on some other things. I remember the fight being extremely even, with Diaz getting hit like usual, he did nothing in the ****ing clinch when I was screaming at him too. He could have easily won the fight by throwing bombs while he had him in the clinch. Conor was obviously gassed, anyone saying him turning around and running a bit wasn't him being gassed is a ****ing moron. I think Diaz gassed somehow to and didn't do enough in the clinch. Oh well brothers.

agreed, 202 was the real 200

it's the mcgregor show once again

[KingSWRV]

Damn rough week for Chalup:

1. Got kicked off the squad
2. Lost 50$
3. Banned for 30 days


I almost feel sorry for him....

Spoiler!

...almost

[Gainzzz]

we can drop the ban if you wanna slide an extra $50 over.

[Black_Spit]

lmao drop the ban if he pays you the $50 *******.

[Gainzzz]

lmao drop the ban if he pays you the $50 *******.

don't think so jeff

[Hugh2]

Hopefully Diaz will have an actual game plan for the 3rd fight other than let Conor punch himself out on his coconut head.

[KingSWRV]

lmao drop the ban if he pays you the $50 *******.

Nice try.

[chalup]

I'm at the one that made the bet hell I thought I would be paying for the fight at my own place anyways so ill be saving money looking at it that way. I also wanted 3 month ban bet and we decided on one. Guess ill set up email for paypal to pay? Never done something like it before.

[Gainzzz]

lmao @ how hard Conor cucked all the MMA fan psychologists. John Kavanagh just said after the weigh ins craziness, Conor looked him dead in the eye and said 'the illusion of insanity is over, now it's time'.

Conor GOAT

prolly shouldn't have released that info though.

[audacious92]

Man,if Diaz keeps fighting like this in the third fight , he will surely get tko'ed .He aready suffered three knockdowns which will deteriorate his jaw and will no longer be able to take these kind of shots anymore.He is tough and can block some hard shots with his face ,but as far as his mma career is concerned,Conor will surely shorten it for him in the third fight.

Dude I don't give a **** about anything besides Nate losing a ****ing 5 round decision to Conor and not ****ing him up in clinch/cage. Blows my mind.

I got a new respect for the dude now. He said what he did and did it smarter than I imagined. I hope he doesn't go back to 145 TBH. Imagine him and cerrone or woodley fighting. GSP would obv smoke his ass. Khabib would, used to think ferg would but his chin is suspect as **** now.
