UFC 196: Nate Diaz vs. McGregor & Holm vs Tate (Sat. March 5th, 10 p.m. ET)

[LuckyLibra619]

This was the moment I started thinking Nate was getting into Conor's head, this stance had Conor feeling like a Manlet

Then Nate had Conor flinching like a bytch

Which all led up to Nate Jabbing/Stockton slapping Conor around in front of the whole world

Could one of you break down, what happened technically, Conor was looking good and free, Diaz was connecting but what did each do that lead to the result.

McGregor was falling short with his punches...He was eating a lot of shots to get at Diaz...In the first round, he did well and damaged Nate...

But he wasn't able to put Diaz away, and the shots that he was eating to get at Diaz sapped his energy, and he was broken and turned into a wrestler, Nate just easily rolled him over and put him to sleep...

Basically, McGregor DOES NOT have the skills that he claims he has...If you compare McGregor vs Diaz to Henderson vs Thatch...Bendo was fighting a MUCH STRONGER fighter in Thatch at 170 (similar to McGregor moving up) but Bendo has REAL skills...

He hung in there and put Thatch to sleep...So, McGregor can't use a "I went up two weight classes excuse" your skills should have made it possible to go into the championship rounds...

McGregor will not be Champ for too long...Frankie can take a punch and he has a ground game...The UFC will make the Aldo vs McGregor II...It is the fight that makes the most sense in terms of storyline...Both are coming off losses and are looking for redemption...

The Frankie fight has NO story...We know McGregor can be beaten, he has been beaten recently and we know Frankie can beat him again...

But the Aldo win could have been a fluke, Aldo was a champ for 7 fights...There is more marketing in this fight...

McGregor realized that he was hitting Diaz with punches that put many LW to sleep, but Diaz was still awake, so he PANICKED...

This is what happens to most fighters when their game plan goes out the window...This fight kind of shows that McGregor's skills are not above and beyond the rest of the LWs..He is just taking advantage of significant size and reach advantage...

You could see McGregor's punches falling short in front of Diaz, and he had to eat shots to get at Diaz...A problem he is not facing in the LW division...

Plus, dude needs to stop that "touch my butt" game with Ido Portal and start putting real work to get a wrestling/BJJ pedigree...

That movement shiet doesn't work...Footwork has nothing to do with that new age movement bullshiet...

Nate is 6 0. The same should apply to him, cept he's been ragdolled at 155. That Movement stuff he bullshyt either, he just lost. Like many b4 him.....

Yo fam I saw a youtube comment somebody wrote "Conor is trying his best to get into Nate's head, what he doesn't realize is Nate doesn't have a head for him to get into"

Nate is a straight up G, my son just goes out there and fights

LMFAO homie they might have to get a fight metric for the number of slaps thrown in the fight

White fighters/athletes talking tough never ever ends they way they thought it would, I wonder if they'll ever learn? Probably not.

I was watching this the other day


All I kept remembering was how hard it was for Mike Johnson to hit Nate, MJ was eating all kinds of jabs/slaps trying to close the distance between him and Nate. And MJ is bigger than Conor, so that had me like thinking of how Conor would be able to hit Nate. Anytime someone has a reach/height advantage over you and you have to eat punches to close the distance you're at a big disadvantage. Which is why it was completely stupid for Conor to say he would knock Nate out by the end of the 1st.

I could see demetrious doing it, but bones has an awkward figure (pause)

Don't think it would be in his best interest to go heavy

Undereducated should not be written as two separate words so I guess you have a lower than average IQ too. Just stfu and go away.

hahaha...

(1) How come these dictionaries spell it the same way I did...Definition of “undereducated” | Collins English Dictionary Definition of UNDEREDUCATED undereducated undereducated: definition of undereducated in Oxford dictionary (American English) (US)

(2) Typical Coli dude, being petty to argue against a valid point based on YEARS of scientific studies...The way Nate Diaz talks is NOT normal for somebody of his age speaking the first language he was taught and probably the only one he speaks "fluently"...

Nick Diaz HIMSELF stated that he was placed in the "special class"...Since they are brothers, it is not TROLLING to assume that they may have the same learning disabilities...

(3) I am basing my assumptions on FACTS, and you are basing yours on reactionary emotional pettiness...
