Yeah watched it again and Conor definitely won that fight. It seems to alot of people that the second round was the decider and Conor dominated the round up until the last 90 seconds when he got tired.

 

Cowboy really hates Conor you can see that after the Diaz fight I wonder if we will see that fight at some stage, that be quality especially as Cowboy wants to come down in weight so might happen in the future.

 

Although I think Conor won I can see an argument for Nate Diaz maybe clinching the fight. To say that Diaz was robbed however is a different story, in no way did Diaz convincing win this fight. Like most, I thought McGregor had rounds 1,2 & 4.

 

He dropped him with relative ease though, and this is a heavier, stronger Diaz. Conor swears Diaz was at least 190 in there last night. He's gonna be a lot lighter in next fight. Which increases chances of ko.
Even if he doesn't, i see Conor winning in a one sided fight.

 

Dunno about relative ease they were just good shots, Diaz is such a warrior he is one of the few fighters that can be even more dangerous when he is hurt. When Diaz was on the ground he looked at Conor to entice Conor to rush towards him which Conor wanted no part of which was the right option. The last round when Diaz finally got Conor down and started ground pound I think if that had happened earlier in the fight Diaz could have won it there. Conor won that fight no question but it was a war and I don't see any reason for Conor just to walk the next fight I personally think it will be like this fight.

 

The opinion that Diaz won is a completely valid one, as is Conor winning, as is a draw. It was a very close fight that could've gone either way and any cries of robbery from either camp or fans are just sour grapes.

I personally have Diaz 3 rounds and thought he came closest to stopping the fight, but I have no problem with anyone giving Conor 3.

 

Diaz is acting like such a * after this fight.

 

It depends what people like more though, personally I felt Diaz hurt Conor more in those last 90 seconds than Conor hurt Diaz in the 3.5 minutes before hand, and I always score professional pre fights like that. Like in boxing if one guy was controlling the round, but then got caught with a big shot and staggered, was holding on towards the end I would give the round to the guy who did the damage.

Incidentally, took a look on sherdog and most don't think Conor won the fight. Shows how close it really was.

 

A couple of them weren't particular power shots though, and one was a simple slip and counter. I don't mean 'easy' as in Diaz is * etc, just that Conor done it with ease. If he could put him down 3 times at 170 or whatever he actually weighed, there's no reason why he can't do it 5 times at 155. If that makes sense :smiley-laughing002:
I agree, Conor made the right decision not engaging on the ground, and also agree Conor would have likely been stopped had Diaz gotten him down earlier.
Only way McGregor can beat him is through striking, imo.

 

I have to say as a Diaz fan, i am disappointed at his performance. I know he was facing a tough opponent and his leg was getting beat up, as was his face, but i didnt see a spark from him.

He toughed it out on guts for me, but didnt fight well. He was unfortunate he had his chances too late on in the rounds, but he still didnt seem sharp. Id have thought he would have gone straight into attack mode at the start of the following rounds to the ones he finished strongly in, but he didnt.

CM definitely won, but i dont even think he was at the top of his game either.

 

Wasn't even close.

 

It was very close.

 

Sorry but you're wrong. Watch the fight back. McGregor won 1, 2 and 4 quite clearly.

 

Sherdog is full of raving lunatics who despise Conor McGregor :smiley-laughing002:

 

I'm sure I seen that they never gave round one 10-8, but scored Diaz a 10-8 later on. Ridiculous :smiley-laughing002:

 

What's he saying?

 

This place is very much in favour of McGregor though, let's not pretend otherwise. He was touted as the GOAT here after all.

It's a subjective scoring sport so I can't really be wrong. The only thing that I would say is incorrect is saying the fight wasn't close. It was exceptionally close and like I said I have no problem with people scoring it for McGregor.

 

As a Diaz fan, he didn't win it was either a draw or McGregor win. Not to say the fight was really close and either could have lost at a few points in the fight.

 

This place is pretty 50/50 and people on here are infinitely more reasonable than people on sherdog where most of the discussion is "LOL TL;DR" with maybe a picture of Diaz with the RNC on Conor for good measure.

The fight was very close and it was the best fight ever imo, but that doesn't mean it was a close decision. Conor won round 1 and 4 without question. People then question round 2. Well.. Conor dropped Nate twice in that round and completely dominated until the final 90 seconds. Clearly Conor's round and yore just being ridiculous if you continue to argue that Nate did enough in those 90 seconds to win the round. All 3 judges rightly gave that round to Conor.


The only thing wrong with the judging last night was one judge giving round 3 a 10-8 to Nate and no judges giving Conor a 10-8 for round 1.
