you think UFC would offer Conor Masvidal?




Conor vs Masvidal would be massive draw

[musti82]

This fukking retard says its an eastman wound with a pic from 15 years ago.

dumbo im just saying mma had worse cuts and fights continue.

[nn586]

the stoppage was 110% bullchit

he was not bleeding into the eye, every fighter wtching agrees with this

even if nate had a small chance, it's the UFC. anything can happen


if you are ok with the call, you need to reevaluate your life srs


apparently its some people's first time watching UFC itt. you guys are pathetic

[Aristotelian]

It isn't smack if he's right. I'm not really a Masvidal fan but he put on a good performance vs Diaz and I think he would really hurt Conor.

He's also right in that Conor's just trying to get his name back in the game - guess he spent that money real quick LOL

Why/based on what?

[MyBaddBrah]

Wonder the level of embarrassment Nate feels after the level of bullying Masvidal put on him last night.

Nate will never be a championship level fighter. That's why he has to fight for make believe belts.

Or he realized prize fights are more financially rewarding than chasing a belt.

Bro who are you even arguing with lol. You're just saying the same thing over and over and no one is disagreeing. No one is saying it should have been stopped.

[Le234]

the chance of nate winning in rounds 4/5 was ridiculously small, people are being way too optimistic
he was behind 30-26 on two judge's scorecards
could barely see out one eye
nate's been in 4 championship rounds...he's lost 3/4 of them
nate wasn't going to ko/tko masvidal, only way to win was by submission...masvidal hasn't been submitted in over 10 years, not even Maia could do it

Masvidal was just too much..Nate is skilled,but Masvidal was just so much stronger and polished.. Nate needs to swallow his pride and train with other trainers. He needs to have fresh striking coaches as well as fresh grappling coaches and conditioning coaches.. He is all heart. and at times that's good enough..But against someone like Masvidal,his old ways are far too predictable and he's an easy read.. Be it 1rd or 5rds. nothing was going to change..He woke up losing that fight.. Masvidal is too strong,too fast and too skilled..Nate had nothing for Masvidal,and this was a total mismatch..

[jfindon]

Why/based on what?

Probably because Conor sucks ass now?

Glad Diaz lost as I hate that mush-mouthed asshat, but wish it was via knockout.

[Twice11]

this srs

Not saying Nate would've won, he took a ridiculous amount of damage, but the last 2 rounds would've been epic if Masvidal slowed down even slightly (which was pretty likely imo, judging by his body language)

Dana claiming he doesn't want a rematch, but it's purely because he made such a big deal about the BMF belt being a "one and done" and he's stubborn af.

It absolutely needs to happen again.

Re-watch just before the end of the third, when masivdal was on top of him. He was resting on his legs. He did end up exploding a bit, but he was fading fast. That last bit of the third, if you watch closely, plus the way he got up... He was definitely fading.

Cant agree with this more. Strong denial by people saying masvidal wasn't fading or that nate had no chance in the 4th or 5th. Either they haven't watched nate fight before, or they just don't like him.

It's not just about blood. Not all cuts are equal.

The region and type of cut matters dudes entire eyebrow was stitched up.

Eyelid could be damage. If another hit could cause the cut to spread to dangerous sizes.

Permanent scarring at best. Who knows, nerve damage, a brow that perm flops over his eye.

Nate was getting smashed. 3-0

[OttomanEmpire]

some sherdog post

Pre-fight: he was having fun and looked great

Round 1: almost finished Nate multiple times

Round 2: he tried hard to finish Nate in this round as well and almost did

Round 3: fatigue starts to set in a bit, Masvidal looks less confident but still went in to try and finish. in this round he already had less power behind his punches but he still does well (not nearly as well as rounds 1 and 2 but he landed some more brutal body kicks and managed to rock nate one time.

in round 3 nate hit masvidal with 5-10 power shots and lots of smaller less significant shots. it was nates best round of the fight but masvidal did edge it.

Round 3 End: Masvidal looks gassed out walking back to his corner. He looks very worried (it wasn't due to the doctor checking Nate because he looked worried even before that)

Also threw in a pic of Nate before the stoppage, he still looked ready to fight.

I agree with Nate when he said winning a BMF belt off a cut stoppage is bull****.. this rematch needs to happen. Masvidal already said he'd give Nate the rematch which is great.

Final note: I'm not a fan of either guy so don't @ me with some bull**** about being biased lol.

Conor McGregor can beat Masvidal

[KingSWRV]

I agree Nate had no chance.

It wasn’t the same Nate that was surprisingly not rusty from the first fight with Conor. (Which is what originally made that fight cool is that Nate came relatively outta nowhere and still had it which was very cheeky and like able)

Sadly this time around that wasn’t the case. It almost seemed like a cross generation fight with Nate passing on the torch.

Jorge isn’t young but has his recent resurgence in skill and the way all his experience seems to have come together to where he’s figured something out and is peaking and is super effective.

Nate is only mortal and it’s clear he has receded.

Even if you consider the scar tissue, that’s not like the refs fault or anyone’s fault. That’s just a reality of fighting and unfortunately the scar tissue IS a liability and a downside.

That’s nobody’s fault. Nate had a long career.

[Deathstroke]

Nate has turned it around when on the losing end. He’s not the man to ever count out. Even if he had just continued to get beaten on for 2 final rounds and Jorge won by UD I wish it hadn’t been stopped. At least there’s a rematch in the future.

I dunno I guess it was pretty obvious the skill difference to me from the start so I didn’t feel the urge to want to desperately see the rest.

Not sure why people reacted so strongly. It wasn’t like a championship fight and it also wasn’t close so who cares.

The goal was to find out if Jorge could school a guy like Nate who is a brawler too, and he did.

What’s the problem?

[lazerhead]

was anyone else reminded of the Diaz v. Dos Anjos fight? Total domination from Masvidal. Diaz has no power behind his shots, he needs volume and pace to wear you down, similar to Holloway.

All the Diaz fans are complaining cause Nate supposedly turns super saiyan in championship rounds... But Masvidal also has legit cardio and I think it would have ended in a lopsided decision. Masival is on the most exciting run in the UFC. Fuck a Diaz rematch, let's see him fight for the belt next.

also I hate to say it, but a Conor v. Masvidal fight at 155 would be bananas. Conor'd probably get smoked, but if he won his aura would be fully restored.

[Scarrdbutsmartr]

I cant help but to chuckle that the BMF-er fight was stopped due to a cut...Its the type of headline thats so ludicrous its hard to believe its true..


...and the fact that they had a WWE star hand out a fake belt was the cherry on the top. Whats the next belt they create since this hustle was so successful?

And what the **** was with The Rock's face the whole time? He looked like he was holding in a fart.

[nikeoneplatinum]

Conor McGregor can beat Masvidal

How?

[lazerhead]

How?

with his left hand, faggot. Only casuals would say Conor has no chance. True MMA fans know anything can happen. U mad? U seem kinda mad little boy.

yeah... he mad.

Stop talking SWRV. It barely even went to ground, get outta here with your no-brainer BS.

Doctor has been receiving death threats lol

huh?

All I heard a year ago was how Conor looked exactly the same but Khabib was just so much better

someone pls explain

(we now know the truth is that he did look like chit but he was injured for a portion of his camp and on fight night)

If Conor looks like the old Conor in January, counting him out against Masvidal is retarded.

[KingSWRV]

dude that doctor is traumatized.

What is wrong with people.

his whole fuking half of his face was about to fall off
