I seen a lot of people saying this will be easy work for McGregor but I think Diaz could give him fits, he doesn't overextend and has length with a nice jab to utilize it unlike Conor's previous opponents who had telegraphed styles that allowed Conor to use pretty simplistic boxing to win, not to mention Nate has slick BJJ skills and these guys have some long limbs.
Diaz has NO POWER...His height means NOTHING...Watch the Benson Vs Diaz fight...Diaz was getting dropped with leg kicks and he left the Octagon LUMPED while Bendo looked fresh...

Conor will have kicks to the body and legs ALL NIGHT...

Does Conor ever actually kick the legs? He'll kick to the body and head, but I can't say that I've ever seen him actually kick the leg with bad intentions.

I think it'll be a boxing match for the most part.

That's not the point. If Diaz starts winning any exchanges, Conor will try to clinch/takedown
But the probability of that happening is very low...Diaz is flat footed and stands tall in font of his opponents...He is not fast...But he has weak volume...Diaz is VERY hittable...

And we have seen what happens to people when they get hit by Conor...They get slumped...But people who get hit by Diaz still look fresh after the fight...

I really don't see Diaz winning this fight...Especially if Conor fights on the outside with leg kicks...

I am stating that they will be available...I don't know if he will take advantage....

Plus, Connor is a better boxer than Diaz...Dude puts people to sleep without even cranking up on his punches...Diaz is too open for a diverse striker like Connor...

I will ALWAYS bet on a McGregor or Wonderboy type striker over a Diaz type fighter...

do you know who conor mcgregor is or are you getting him confused with someone else? :dwillhuh:

conor comes from a pure boxing background and is the best boxer in mma. theres no wrestling in his country at all. why would he attempt a takedown against a guy who is levels above him in jiu jitsu and is know. for having a damgerous guard and subs from his back? that is literally the worst thing conor can do in the fight is attempt a takedown. you are a troll.

Cause Conor is bytch made. I know he's the best boxer in mma right now, but he breaks if hes not over twice as good as his opponent. If the exchanges are even close to even he starts breaking. He went for the takedown against Max Holloway

You don't have to like Conor but no way is he a punk. Become champ and then challenge another champ and then take another fight 2 weight classes above? Cmon son

Bendo isn't a good comparison, most of Conor's kicks are spin kicks and bendo had the threat of a take down. Bendos kicks to the legs of Diaz were legendary painful

Edgar turned down the fight...
No he didn't, that's that Dana White bullshyt to sell a fight :russ:

Edgar is out on a groin tear. Dana's trying to act like everyone was too shook to fight Conor, when in fact he came at people either with bullshyt offers, or while they were injured. I'm willing to bet money Aldo turned it down cuz it wasn't for the title.

I'm not really disagreeing with anything you've said. I'm only pointing out that Conor, from my observations, doesn't fight that tactically, going for leg kicks and all. He likes exchanging and kicking to the body. He's still got the same tendencies as when he first started. I'd be super surprised if he actually tried to take out Diaz's legs.
