Holly didn't get exposed though.
She certainly did. Got to see her ground game for the first time. It's awful and needs a ton of work.

Dana was talking about doing Nate vs. Robbie for the 170 title
Beating a fukking 145 lb'er who has never fought above 155 makes you #1 contender at 170? fukking shameless :dead:

Those jabs were hitting a lot of arms and air but only some of his face. Diaz got a chin for days and with no threat of a TD from his opponent he wasn't going to tire. Which was always going to end bad for McGregor whose style (lack of wrestling and deficiency on the ground) plays directly to their strengths. In many ways on paper this was no different to daley/diaz only thing different was Daley had more KO power and reach

smmfh this nikka said daley I'm done
Nick's instant reaction to the fight. fukkING LEGEND :russ:


the goat :wow:

Everyone knows it's not smart to be overly muscled in MMA or Boxing.
This is true, but since mcgregor can't put on height or length he had no other way to get to 170. He was at a disadvantage before even walking in the ring. He ain't built for 170. And Diaz just should how outmatched he was just from a physical standpoint. Add on to the fact that Diaz is world class and ......welp.....you saw it.
He ate what Connor gave him, and when he was gassed he just hit the switch and it was over.

I think Connor can own 145 and 155, out of his league at 170

That remains to be seen. 145 he's got it........ 155 still has monsters like Khabib, Dos Anjos Michael Johnson Tony Fergueson and you guessed it........Nate Diaz who would be a problem. I think he could take out Cerrone and possibly pettis which is still imo a dream match

i read that conor cuts around 30 lbs to make 145 so that's way too much for a fighter. he can try 155 but i think RDA beats him.

i thought conor was pacing himself at the end of the first but he was actually slowing down to avoid gassing. idk if it was the weight gain or those explosive kicks and punching but he might need a year to bulk and adjust his body before making the jump to 170. any of those strikes on a 145/155 would cause good damage or a possible KO.
He said all of that in the post fight. Said nate had the better energy and those punches would have ko'd fighters in the 155. Also said he didnt like them laughing at him so hes going back down there to teachthem a lesson :mjlol:
