    Word from the Dos Anjos camp is that he's been told it won't require surgery, but he's to keep any weight off it for around a month.

    That leaves plenty of time for a title fight in July if the UFC decide to continue down that road.

    So every injury is the same just by looking at it?

    Do you moon light as a super doctor on weekends?

    3/10 and 7/2 best prices with the bookies.

    McGregor first round KO is 6/4, McGregor by KO is 8/15.

    so by looking at a picture and comparing it to an injury you had as a 16 year old your prognosis he is fine to take part in a combat sports fight at the very highest level? :57::57:

    interesting listening to Danas interview announcing the fight that Mcgregor Chose Diaz instead of Cerrone or pettis. Read into that what you will but it was also interesting how Dana mentioned Robbie Lawler being champ at 170. I wonder if Conor wins they give him a shot at lawler at ufc 200?

    Diaz by sub is 15/2. Diaz by KO is 9/1.

    Some would say that he chose the guy who's not in fight shape, who hasn't fought in two months, and who didn't have any other fight scheduled to even be preparing for. Better choosing someone like that than a guy who's just fought and won at 170lbs, looked dangerous and who'd be more than ready to step in.

    Not that I'm being critical, of course. All this "anywhere, anytime, anyone" patter is just that. Patter.

    He's got a million dollar brand to protect, and he's going to be choosing his fights carefully, especially on short notice.

    Diaz has cardio for days, really underrated boxing , really good submission and an iron chin. This has the potential to be a banana skin for Conor.

    Diaz is kind of inconsistent though but he really struggles against big strong wrestlers.

    Cant wait for this fight im gutted that one of these guys has to lose though.

    Hopefully Conor gets it done though so we can keep hearing the excuses pour out of the haters.

    Hopefully diaz is in some kind of shape and mindset similar to when he fought Johnson and we could have a fight on our hands but if he turns up like he did against dos anjos it should be an easy night for Conor imo

    Conor isn't going to grind on Diaz the way Dos Anjos did though. Usually when Diaz becomes despondent he becomes ineffective, which won't be the case here.

    It's got the prospect of being a barnburner.

    That's my * point :56:

    How can anyone, me or anyone else, say from a picture what is wrong with him.
