'209 vs. Ireland' - UFC 202 Thread (Diaz/McGregor II, Glover/Rumble, Cerrone/Story)

[↓R↑LYB]

so for the most part we all on the same page that the fix was in for a 3rd fight

and we all know diaz is goin to win that fight in 4

I can't see how y'all say the fight was fixed. The fight was close as hell, and I'm not even a Connor fan.

Judges scorecards

 

[jackswstd]

Conor still had the better punches....most of Diaz stuff last 2 rounds had zero behind it....

They were landing though and scoring. If we're gonna nitpick strikes by the amount of power behind it they need to change the way they score fights.

Running the whole fight? The dumbasses coming out the woodwork.

Breh always crying about agendas but can't see they are doing the same shyt

 

[Lazy Migrant]

McGregor moving around the ring landing the cleaner shots ala Money May but the Coli says he ran

Nah. Mayweather evades. Connor was running. He wasn't even facing him a lot of the times. I think Connor won, but he was definitely running. At points Diaz was pointing and laughing at him.

Evading doesn't work in the UFC when you can be physically grabbed and clinched

My dude what are you talking about?

Nate won rounds 2,3 (by a wide margin) and 5. 2 might be arguable, but they should have taken a point from Conor for all of that running. 47-47 at the absolute worst.

Watch the FightMetric numbers prove me right about this being a bullshyt screwjob. Looks like Conor was making a guarantee when he said that there would be a third fight.

Edit: Round 2 FightMetric numbers: Nate Diaz landed 37/76 Significant Strikes to Conor's 34/70. Both landed at 48%. Conor did not win that round.

Why are people surprised? When a fight like this is so close, they'll want to squeeze out a 3rd one. It's shady as hell but it's a business move.

 

[Box Cutta]

the hypocrisy

To be fair, when has Floyd ever legit dropped his gloves, turned his entire body, and jogged away foot over foot like that?

Like someone said earlier, Floyd evades shots...Conor had moments of legit jogging tonight.

Besides, Conor and his fans should know by now to keep Mayweather's name out'chea moufs....

 

[aceboon]

scorecard, that Nate round wasn't a 10-8 round to me, judge leaped off the edge with that one

 

[Konnan]

I missed a couple of knockdowns it seems because the stream was freezing up

 

[RubioTheCruel]

All three judges gave Conor rd 2

 

[luckyse7enz]

What a fight. Won money on it Conor, Garbrandt, Cerrone, Johnson.

[GoddamnyamanProf]

May have to peep that 2nd RD closely again. Connor was looking strong(did he have a few knockdowns or was that the first?) but faded towards the end. May sway my scoring

He knocked Diaz down once in the 1st round and twice in the 2nd.

There was no fix.
