+RussianLure Lure who took Conor McGregor to the 5th round because no matter how much blood pours down his face, he keeps coming. Respect. That fight showed a lot of willpower from both fighters.

Thats it!

Yeah both are beasts..... i love how fast Conor's hands are and his Combo's are brilliant & Diaz is just a fucking warrior who never gives up.

Fighting Diaz is like fighting a god damn zombie.

up next nick vs conor

great call man ! take notes Rhonda and go find a new fighters heart . Poor for womans fighting . was a good mentor at onetime , she losses and is non existent . totally weak

Soljan Shametaj one of the realest and most logical comments down here

Unfortunately, you are a testament to what is wrong with MMA judging. A 10-8 round presupposes dominance of the entire round. The knockdowns were there but Diaz popped right back up. Conor was getting worked for the final 30 seconds of round two. It was a clear 10-9 round for Conor, but certainly not a 10-8.

Elmo Blatch I agree

@@elmoblatch9787 He popped right back up because Conor let him lmfao, this fight wasn't as close as people think, if you can truly analyse something you'll know Conor won clearly.

yea you can say that round 2 was 10 -9 Mcgregor and there'd be some strength behind it. But honestly, If you give Diaz a 9 in round 2 then you have to give a 9 to McGregor in round 3 he was landing on Diaz very cleanly and doing arguably as much damage as Diaz despite panting. I really feel like without audio it's a clearer Mcgregor win but with Joe and everyone harping on McGregor's exhaustion you kind of forget he's still landing cleanly even if nate wins the round on sheer cage control and volume of less clean shots. Then you have round 4 which you really have to give McGregor as a 10-9 round so going into round 5 it's either 39 - 37 McGregor up or even possibly 39 -36 McGregor if you score around 1 or 2 as a 10 - 8. So really in order to win the fight or get a draw, Diaz needed a 10 - 8 round and although he got the takedown it was more or less equal until that point. Despite the fatigue, Diaz just didn't do enough in round 5 or 3 to make them both 10-8 rounds and those are the only rounds you can really give to Diaz under any real judging criteria so unless you can watch this fight and say that round 3 was 10-8 diaz which is a tough sell with connors cleans shots and then say that round 5 was a 10 - 8 which is a super tough sell then the either tie or Mcgregor wins. Connor won 3 rounds 1 was most likely a 10-8 and Diaz had 2 10 -9's the fights gotta go to Connor.

Bipsing and Joanna picked Conor.

Brendan "100%" Schaub did as well.

And Kenny Florian and Robin Black

I'll assume English is not your first language judging by the grammar of your comment.

yeah he knows that so he throws everything out in first 2 rounds

He has huge muscle mass for his frame. The more the muscle, especially the leg muscles, the more oxygen you need, the more weight you carry. Along with that, in many ways he tries to throw everything in his shots, similar to what Gaethje used to do before his 2 losses. McGregor may not be the G.O.A.T, but he's a stud for sure for bravely taking on difficult match-ups

Masvidal dropped and hurt Nate way worse. Also Josh Thomson

​@@antoniocontreras7559 look at the size difference bro

He went up two weight classes man

Exactly, but yet all these Wanna-be Diaz fans are saying it's rigged lol

+Sexy Beast Trust me, that won't be for long, all these bandwagons will be gone in a week or two.

bet the wrestlers in the ufc salivate at the thought of a fight with Connor, Diaz/McGregor was meant to be..congrats to both,if Connors smart,he'll fight Eddie Alvarez, weather they strip his title or not, 145division is gonna look like a joke, considering Aldo and Holloway are at the top of that division and conor beat both of em, AlVAREZ/MCGREGOR that's what I want to see and MCGREGOR/DIAZ 3 for the lightweight title, fuck wrestlers fuck boring ass fights fuck khabib,make it happen.

+Sexy Beast because they're pussies

That first round was not a 10-8 round. THE ONLY REASON WHY YOURE EVEN SAYING THAT IS BECAUSE CONOR SAID IT. You're just repeating what he says. That round was not a 10-8 round, yea he got dropped once in that round but he was swinging at McGregor and fighting back. Conor won that round, but not no 10-8 win. Dumb casual, just like most of Conor's fanboys

Facts

AND knocked the bigger man on his ass three times. Legendary fight and absolutely shows McGregor as one of the greatest fighters in the UFC.

+Neo Axl I think busted were better than mcfly

+Tebz.M let them hate. They can only throw exuses and child talk now.

yes and getting one punch and he is about to go to sleep? very baddddddd

he was nowhere near 20 or 30lbs heavier as Conor was saying. He wasn't more than 10 or 15 i promise you

Two knockdowns in round 2.

im a diaz fan and connor won, i dont see how nate won 3 rounds

+David Killen honest man

+Chuck Schick Don't act like McGregor fans don't make excuses man lol everyone does its just normal when you're a fan of someone

I actually think that 2nd round was a draw. Conor did not follow up his knockdowns and Nate recovered right away where as Nate laid a sustained beating on Conor for 30 seconds to finish the round and landed more total strikes.

I never doubted you

>eeks out decision win >runs away for the last 3 rounds >gassed out by round 2 Yeah, I'm still doubting quite a bit.

he won round 4 ya dingus.

gabriel harding Highly debatable who won that round. When you run like he did though, it's your fuckin' job as a judge to deduct points.

Whoopity Doo lets be honest here, you're a diaz fan , im a mcgregor fan. diaz fans love to focus on that ten seconds in the 3rd or 4th round where conor turned his back to diaz and pussy footed around nate. (conor will never admit it , but at that point he was gassed as fuck) its an exaggeration to say he ran for the whole fight. you really think fight experts would call this fight of the year if the winner just played touch and go? it was an absolute dog fight but conor came out clearly on top.

LMAOOO

and the Conor fans have nothing to wake up for ;)

nah, full on diaz fan. was a great fighr from both fighters

Said the guy with an anime profile pic... come on, man. Don't make this too easy

xchillxdawgx good comeback, I bet that one is a hit in the playground

It’s cause they were reading off the script of the first fight

Without the knockdowns Diaz would win, but the knockdowns gave it to Connor

Amen

to true mcgregor fan for long time big diaz fan after these 2 fights and we get to see the trilogy fucking epic shit great event left 200 for dead

+multichronic88 Im the opposite. true diaz fan, but after this fight much respect to conor.

up next nick vs conor

Who did he prove wrong?

Billi Stax 43/50 fighters (or somewhere near that number) said conor would lose. He proved everyone that doubted him (a lot of people)

A stoppage would of been proving people wrong... but hey more power to him... the game needs him...

Billi Stax A win is a win... People said he wouldnt win. I agree a KO wouldve been better, but no ones KO'd Diaz

+Boris theBlade diaz has always been a dam tank that is for dam sure

+CalvinSomething yeah I always ask people who would you rather be

Doesn't it suck to have to rewatch and analyze the fight to validate his decision win? If he would've knocked him out in the 2nd round like he said he was going to then we wouldn't have to go back and forth about rounds, strikes, knockdowns and so on. All this statistic talk surrounding this fight makes me want to rewatch their first encounter just to make sure Nate won.

+He Hate Me but this means the 3rd fight gonna be even more awesome. UFC fans couldn't have asked for a better fight & a better outcome.

Conor gets 2 easy because of the two knockdowns

same with 1, knocked him a few times with those lefts

Bc Nate beat him in literally every single stat lol

+MadFlavaHeavyFlow81 nope Nate got outstruck in the first, second and fourth round. got 80% of his takedowns stuffed and got knocked down Three times. He might have landed the Most strikes but he had worse striking accuracy.

+MadFlavaHeavyFlow81 ha look at the takedown attempts Diaz had. He completed one takedown out of 7. Conor had more knockdowns too. It's not all about punches landed

MadFlavaHeavyFlow81 Really? in knockdowns? which fight were you watching?

Are you serious conor knocked him down three times, sir. the question is what fight were you watching? I believe nate knocked him down once if you call conor backing up and slipping a knockdown.

Austin 3:16, dude.

+Connor Mighell lol

THe second was almost a 10-8 round for mcgregor ( 3 kds, a bloody face for nate, dominate standup), give credit to nate for fighting hard in the last minute and making it just a 10-9 for conor. In boxing it wouldve been scored 9-8 which I think is better because it says more about the round and clears confusion.

Irish joke, i got you🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪😂😂😂

It's 10 point must in boxing. the only way it could be a 9-8 is if the winner of the round scores a knock down and is then deducted a point.

mcgregor is in the top 5 anderson silva in his prime would fucking destroy everyone i dont care what anyone says

Ugh you guys are annoying. Hopefully you're trolling

+Mike Todd agree the spider is the goat Conor's top 5 all time but he's was pretty young and on his way to go up that list.

+Mike Todd Jones and GSP would probably beat him

Now, that's just silly. lol

Fuck off Alex

very true

Here

typical dumbass

what bitch here

Is he back? They're 1-1. We'll see who's "back" in the 3rd fight

Still here till I die

go write a book

Do you even know what a significant strike is? It's not the lone scoring criteria.

I know its not the lone criteria, those are just the stats from it. but thats how i saw the fight, i really did not see Nate winning the fight, as i said it it was a 3-2 in my eyes. but your opinion is welcome.

3-2 Conor is the right score. But what a great fight.......I wanted Nate, but Conor employed a smart game plan, and showed great heart when I thought he might quit.

Vince Marino Got taken down,pushed against the fence,ran from the fight,how's that stat of victorious?I saw Conor winning maybe only 1-st round,since than it was either all rounds to Nate and maybe one draw.But really did anyone think there's not gonna be 3-rd fight?It was hinted so many times that it sounded like worlds worst kept secret,lol.If Lawler wins fights by fighting only one round against Condit than complete judging system has to change.

lolol

Conor punched him so hard, Nate needs surgery now.

+Ginger Jaguar well said

Conor whooped him so bad Nates repping Compton now

+Lord And Savior ConorMcgregor L

10 - 8 3rd for Diaz.

One of the judges gave Diaz a 10-8 which could of been he hurt Conor bad and landed over 60 strikes that round it was a blowout round. Conor dropped him but didn't do much but man great fight

Brandon Edwards I know how you can get a 47-47, but in this fight that was not really possible...If anything Conor had a 10-8 in one round (2nd from memory?). 48-47 was the figh decision imo.

im not sure u understand what 'hurt connor bad' means, castors spewed shit when connor got hit, they all thought he was 'hurt' 'bad' but EVERY hit, did nothing, he was not effected from a bigger man with a harder punch. every hit did nothing, did u mot see him avoid it all, did u not see the immunity he showed to all nate 'threw'

The wall just got 10. ft. higher.

yeah I saw that why did Connor let him get back up 3 times

Jose Cedillo it was diaz intention to stay on ground as both fighters knew Diaz's groundwork is better.

+MegaMsc123 but Diaz said he was injured in Jijitsu practice.

Even with an injury he would beat mcgregor on the the ground. He's a very high level bjj black belt and conor isn't. Conor used a very good strategy to beat nate; he kicked his lead leg to take the power out of nates boxing and didn't go to the ground.

no, you are

Fedor is the greatest of all time

hasn't defended once. i think you're right

at running from the oponent

You mean JON JONES

He'll do it next time

He ate that up kick the first time

No because it would have been dumb as hell. Why risk going to ground with a guy who submitted you when you're dominating on the feet and can force him to stand?

Would've been a bad move. Nate is very dangerous off his back.

Diaz may've been dropped but he was clearly exaggerating the extent to which he was hurt so as to lure Conor to the ground. Conor was smart. Diaz might be able to eat a baseball bat to the head, he has an ungodly ability to absorb punishment. If Conor blew his wad in a flurry - like in the first fight - he would've lost again. Props to Conor for putting his ego aside and getting the job done.

Oh Danny Boy, the pipes the pipes are calling😘

Conor bless you brotha ye!!

Eire !!!

Bruh...Hilarious.

***** Shut tha fook up you fooking bum

Not quite.

One knockdown was legit. One was a slip on the wet floor. The last one near the cage wall was a solid hit but you clearly see Nate drop to the ground on purpose to recover because he couldnt back off to do so. Dropping down to rest or recover from getting dazed is a very solid tactic in this fight because there was no way on Earth Conor was going to the ground with Nate. After that, conor got gassed and got hurt from end of 2 on and every time he needed to rest he ran away. In pretty much every other professional fighting organization he would have been penalized by the ref. In fact... one judge deducted a point from him in round 3 for running away.

rofl cleaner shots dudes face is near perfect diaz is looking like he got jumped by 20 people diaz got rocked dude looks like hes turned asian with his almost closed up eye lids turned his face into a nigga whole things almost black "conor ran" i wish i could bruise up, bust and knock someone down by running

majority of the damage happened in the first 2 rds...connor clearly didn't want to engage in the 4th and 5th when Nate was hittin those body shots so he ran. Y'all mutherfuckers ride Connors Dick like he's the greatest fighter of all time. I don't like either of these fighters but Connor got a pass from the judges cuz Connor looked worried as fuck when the read the scores. It was more of a draw then Connor winning

so who was the guy scootin across the mat like a dog with a turd stuck in his ass! gtfoh!

I guess u didn't hear what he said he said his in pain his foot stupid

+Manny Estrada calling him stupid and you can't even put together a good sentence

+Manny Estrada the damage from his foot was from kicking his opponent

+Manny Estrada *look* Of course hes in pain who wouldnt be but he looked less beaten just like in the 1st fight

yeah cause this is like his 7 8 fight in the Ufc

his only giving him props because nate actually fought and endured, nothing about skill. his respecting his durability and endurance. Nate is not close to conor when it comes to skill.

LazyGamer101 not arguing that. Its not only skill that makes a fighter good. Endurance & heart matters. Nate almost gave what he got & after like 4 knock downs still gave one hell of a fight. And if I'm not mistaken, one judge scored it a draw even. So Nate too deserves some respect from the Connor fans is all I'm saying

Tissa Senaratne People don't know how to get better endurance or durability. That shit is really hard to replicate. Conor with his style of fighting almost faded again in the second round. He did less throws than before but was able to hold on longer. He is unable to keep up the same volume for longer than 2 or 3 rounds for some reason. I would like nate better if he was not just an endurance and cardio king. Those are attributes that people never can recreate. I am not dogging Diaz at all, he destroyed some fighters i thought to be great with his skill sets but those skill sets are the basic bare-boned stand and throw with them until they cant throw anymore. He knows when his opponents start to gas and starts to think his beaten them when cardio did that. He starts to throw middle fingers in the middle of the fight as if his the man when he did absolutely jack. I hated that from him before and i kinda still do to be honest. But im sure in any given day, he can stomp the shit out of me with those basic skill sets.

His arrogance pays the bills.

+Michael shuffler lol right trash talking in a sport dealing with fighting is what draws money...hype hype hype=money money money

Michael shuffler Yeah I don't mean pre-fight arrogance and trash-talk. That's all to psyche out your opponent and gain more money from the fight. What I mean was how humble he seemed post-fight. He had a lot more respect for Nate Diaz than I've seen him have for the likes of Jose Aldo or Dustin Poirier. He seems much more down to earth.

Fuck off Keith Jackson

Yea cause he was soooo aggressive fucking hugging him like a pussy right on the cage. GTFO kid

someone has never heard of dirty boxing... So many wannabe fighters out there.

100% agree

connor won 3-2 and did far more damage including dropping nate 4 times. Connor won.

Max Mus ups and downs since this comment, but now we’re back! Conor champ by the end of 2020.

Who? Lol.

scratch less face > 2 black eyes broken face

+Dankoski x187x stand in the pocket and trade > run around for 23 min

+El Capo TheDon which fight did you watch? You casual fans need a life.

Diaz lost to kj noons the first time to tko Doctor stoppage and won decision the second time they fought

+Tebz.M mcgregir fans are the fucking bandwagon

Maybe 190 is a little too much but 180-185 seems realistic

He probably was like 180

Yeah he's a delusional guy. Love your name btw

If you don't think Nate was 190lbs at least. You are a fucking idiot, go sit down. Nobody made more excuses then Nate. DON'T BE SCARED HOMIE.

nate diaz walks at 190, everyone knows this. he even said so himself

i think conor won, just. and im irish and i il always support an irish man doin his thing, but u cudnt say a bad word against diaz, fuckin warrior.

+ineedmoney121 warriors

I agree, but look at their post fight interviews. You've got Conor looking like he had a light sparring session, and then Diaz resembling the Elephant Man who fell head first on a bed of hammers.

Khabib is not russian he is caucasian

No one can stop you =) Eddie Alvarez needs to be humbled for ducking Khabib Nurmagomedov and saying that he is an undeserving title challenger :O

+MMA prospect he's Russian

Conor 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Nah, Im a fan of both guys, but McGregor won round 1,2,4. Diaz only had the flurry at the end of 2.

+destro1989 you're an idiot

Nate won round 2 cuz of a lil flurry that Conor dodged most of the punches? Conor knocked his ass down and won that round very clearly

you literally went out of your way to make an account named conor mcgregor..

lol

+DT37F1 lots of logic i know

😂😂😂😂😂😂 you have jokes

+Eddie Adams lol lil midget steroid head 😂😂 no one better than Connor

hahaha

Hope so man

And then after McGregor BEATS Poirier this summer he'll then face off with Nate Diaz in a trilogy fight this fall.

Yea because This would be the hardest match up in conors fight

u dumb

lol right?

+o Karma oo CONNOR WON BOY U MAD??

+xxbublebee123 are you seriously stupid??? im on conors side you dumb fuck. stay in school kid

Someone get they mans

that makes it even more impressive that conor can run away and still bust nates face up to a bloody pulp like that.

He wasn't afraid of him the first time around, he beat him in just 13 seconds, so why would he be afraid of him now? Especially after this 170 challenge which has made Conor even stronger both physically and mentally, as well as in terms of skill. The only thing that he probably fears is the weight cut ahead of him. PS: The fight was not rigged. His victory is justifiable.

This fight was GREAT but it was NOT that close. Nate won by a long shot! Its the new owners turning this to the UFWWE...

+Leonardo Donato (DarkPosts) your delusional just like the rest of the nate fans. Your all just butt-hurt 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Damn good point, maybe Dustin calf kicks damaged it further. Finally accumulated to that snap in the third fight 😮

He had leg issues forever. MCL tear in the Holloway fight, tore the ACL during the Mendes two week lead up, crutches on this one, leg battered by Poirier and crutches in fight 2, then bone damage coming into the 3rd Poirier fight.

HIS GRANDAD LOL

+Tommy Lally Chill with that shit his grandfather is dead

You can't get such suits, tree peepal died makin dis suit nomsayin?

you're a tit, his photo clearly isn't him

Nah m8, his background pick is an actor that plays characters like that

LMAO LOL

Hahah you are one funny guy mate
