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

You refuted your own point. It's the nature of the beast. There is always someone behind who they are pushing at the moment. Keep in mind Connor is still the 145 champ......

It takes alot of time to build these guys. They have to keep winning, And some of them don't connect naturally bc they don't have charisma etc.

They can't just plug out and plug in stars.

And someone like Jon Jones took hisself out the game. Tho he can comeback bc he didn't lose

That's the thing...Holly didn't even need any other level of BJJ than she already has...

She lost the fight because she didn't play it safe...

Holly should have started "running away" in the 5th...Let Miesha do all the work to cut the Octagon and eat jabs has she desperately moves forward for a takedown (her only hope)...

I don't think a Male fighter can ever become championship fighting with Miesha's strategy...They don't even make it to a title fight with that "I am just going to hope I get a take down" strategy...

Play it safe. She got taken down by mieshasome sheer will and got strangled and wasn't shyt she could do about it.

I bet holly feels she needs to work on her ground game.

But not you, ok.

You can't stay a champ in mma without a ground game

I was watching this the other day

 

[42 Monks]

Did this dude really say "I am just going to hope I get a take down" strategy...

 

[AldavisAlbundyAllah!]

All four girls did their Thang this ppv.

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.....

The fighters ragdolling Nate are the Top Echelon Grapplers of the division...

McGregor has very little clinch and grappling skills...His only way to beat a durable guy like Nate is by KO/TKO...But just because Nate ate all those McGregor shots, it doesn't mean that RDA, Khabib, Fergusson, Alvarez and etc can eat them too...

We have to see it to know...But the fighters I mentioned can easily take McGregor down and keep him on his back for 5 rounds...

Soon as UFC fighters mention Mayweathers name, they get battered

Did this dude really say "I am just going to hope I get a take down" strategy...

Did you watch the fight?

Even before Miesha won with that last takedown, she wasn't "going for it"...Her entire strategy was "I hope I get a takedown"...

Basically, she used the Ryan Bader vs Anthony Johnson strategy the way it was suppose to be used...Don't initiate, Be patient, And hope you get a takedown...

If I was an MMA coach, I will tell Holly "this girl isn't doing anything but sitting and waiting for TD, don't give it to her, do the same thing she is doing...Sit and wait for her to work for that TD...If she decides to come forward, stick and move...If she doesn't, she runs out of time, and you are already winning fight"...

Holly beat herself...Miesha is UNCONVINCING...That's why the UFC didn't want her getting another title shot...They see what I am seeing in Miesha...She is an "accidental championship"...

Miesha beating Holly Holm is like Matt Cera beating GSP...Fluke...And time will prove me right...She won't have a single title defense and she won't win the title again...I will be surprised and bow down to her if she proves me wrong...

 

[Roid Jones]

And yet a few hours before that fight they were all saying "he is good for the sport"...Just because you are a professional fighter it don't mean your mentality ain't bietch made...

A real dude would have said "Connor talks a lot of shat and I won't see him eat his words" then celebrate when he does finally lose...I can dig that...

But if I heard you say "Conor is good for the sport" and see you celebrate after he loses then you are showing me how suspect your heart is...

Fighters getting giddy about the result has me like

Um...she could of moved better...I don't think Meisha can touch her if she moves like she usually does.....worked a jab and kept her off her ...she allowed for that to get that close. So it ended badly..we'll see how she adapts in the next go around.

 

[Swing]

I was rooting for Diaz...but you can see the smug faces on these fags that didnt have shyt to do with the fight. I cant fukk with that.

 

[nineteeneightysix]

The were being company men but enjoyed doing their job when it was time to be commentators about his loss

BS...
If you don't like the way a competitor is approaching the game, say it how you feel...Don't be a bietch aka company man and then turn coat when you get your deepest desires come true...

If you are being company man, then stick to the company man shtick and say "McGregor is a true warrior going up 2 weight classes on short notice and putting up an honorable fight against another incredible veteran like Nate Diaz"

I am annoyed by inconsistent character...I respect a poosie who knows he/she is a poosie and don't claim to be anything else and behave consistently as a poosie...

You dropping names but everything you're saying about takedown strategy sounds basic as fukk.

"Stick and move"

You fronting hard on knowledge.

 

[Reflected]

Jon was scared to fight chael sonnen on short notice. Conner jumped to 170 and fought nate Diaz on short notice. Jon doesn't get a win here whatsoever .
