Just because a fighter is moving forward, it doesn't mean he is winning the fight...I have rewatched that first round, and all I see is McGregor punching the air, and Nate touching him...

Yes, he threw maybe 3 hard shots...I would love to see the official scorecards and fight stats to see if my fight judging skills are up to par...

I rewatched the first round again, Nate EASILY won that round...Everytime McGreogor punched the air, Nate peppered him with a couple of shots...Even Rogan called out more shots for Nate than McGregor....

MeGregor threw 4 heavy punches, and one opened up a cut on Nate's face...I think the blood made a lot of people think that McGregor actually landed more punches than he threw...

The Miesha vs Holm official scorecard was posted, where can I look at the official McGregor vs Diaz scorecard?

I'm not sure what you're seeing fam. Conor outlanded 28 - 23 (stats below), scored an immediate sweep when taken down and ended the round in top position. He whiffed plenty, but he was landing plenty too especially on counters and that left hand uppercut. Nate wasn't landing cleaner or stronger outside of the body work he mixed in.

Thank you for posting the link...

(1) Round 1 was pretty much even, they both landed the same percentage ...Nate was more accurate to the head and body...Conor had his best striking with leg kicks...

Diaz without a training camp was still a better boxer than McGregor (in terms of striking accuracy)...

If you factor in the TD, then Diaz could have won the first...

(2) Round 1 pretty much comes to subjective judging...6 of Conor's "significant" strikes were leg kicks that had no visible impact, so how do they compare to Nate's TD?

That depends on who is judging...

(3) Conor needs A LOT of improvements to beat Nate...I think he could leg kick his way to a decision, since that was his most effective attack against Nate...

Rogan was being bias as fukk

Highlighted every punch Nate landed even though Connor didn't look phased. Only highlighted Connor when it was a big hit

People are idiots.

You have no idea how many times I've been told I'm not black because my dad is Brazilian. I don't even try to explain it to people anymore, it's like trying to teach molecular genetics to a first grader.
:mindblown:
how stupid can people get

:heh: i'm convinced these ufc fighters have the worst agents and Ariel would make a bette job then 90 % of them.

:jbhmm:So Ariel asked this new fighter if he was shopping around before he signed with UFC after his win against palhares

This new dude was like no me and my agent didnt wanna fool around as piss the UFC bosses off :dahell:

Ariel has lowkey been going in on the UFC since he got his credentials taken away, the way he hyped mark hunt up before he went in on the UFC was a genius move :salute:

Lol I wanna hear the interview. The thing is Ariel is just trying to be impartial and that was a fair question to ask. I asked another mma fighter what he was gonna do he fights in Brazil and all he wanted to do was join UFC no matter what! Bellator and OneFC was giving him decent offers as well :manny:

He was the guy after overeem on todays mma hour but if even if you check out last weeks mma hour condit ended going on small rant thanks to Ariel baiting him into the topic of fighter pay.
Ariel keeps mentioning the sale of the UFC and how the fighters are obviously worth more considering it was sold for 4billion, these fighters are like well yes i guess so :snoop:.

The only dude i saw pissed off about the situation was dillashaw, now mind you he only made 50,000 in his last fight including bonus and he just had the belt how is that even possible :skip:
