Paddy Bsrnes cited having to make a big cut as the reason he must today and simply didn't have the energy. Diaz is reported 200lb at the moment . Will have to cut so much affect him?

He's not 200lbs so he has nothing to worry about.

I dont think Diaz cutting to 170 wil be any problem at all, I mean he is normally a 155er. Id say all those pics of him apparently being at 200 pounds are after he has worked out and has a bit of a pump going. I would guess he is less than 200 by a good bit.

Nate Diaz has never weighed 200lbs in his life.

He was asked in the conference call the other night was it true. It hesitated and gave an unconvincing yes. McGregor starting laughing.

Of course he's going to say he's bigger than he is and Conor's camp are going to claim he's sub 170, they're all just playing head games.

I'd say he's smoked about 200 lbs in his life though..

Its different in amateur boxing . You have to weigh in the day of each fight .

Why is the scar tissue such an issue with the Diaz brothers? Surely they're not the only fighters who've been in enough scraps to be affected by the excessive bleeding associated with them? Seems to be mentioned a lot but I don't get why it would be a problem nearly exclusive to them?

Not the only ones and far from the first. Rogan's spoke about loads of fighters having surgeries to remove scar tissue. The 1st I remember hearing about it in UFC was Marcus Davis.

Temp/humidity difference between Belfast & Rio is HUGE! Paddy qualified for the games that long ago he hasn't had to made weight in something like 2 years they said yesterday. While Diaz' social media pictures show him finishing a triathlon or sparring with Andre Ward, Paddy's pictures show him running around the Tayto crisp park with his family or doing hot wing eating challenges to help promote new bar/restaurants

Maybe there was some truth to the suggestion here conor was suffering with an infection against nate.

Er.. can I ask why Conor has never adapted his fight prep to his opponent before? I thought that's what everyone did.

Because he was so used to guys pulling out of fights that he didn't want to be caught out by replacements. Sadly, that's what happened with Diaz a bit, as well as Nate just being better than him in a few key areas of the sport.

Apparently Peter Queally was pencilled in to face Tim Means but for Visa issues. Unfortunate, would've been nice to have another Irishman on the card.

Yeah that 0% finish rate isn't great :P It just goes to show how being in the right place at the right time can help (but for the visa issue obviously).

I'd say he will get on eventually through Conor but he's not ufc standard at all, really didn't like the way he went on after he won at efc he seems like a moron.

Peter Queally, the second coming of Pendred.

Artem gets finishes when he wins. The other lads are prepetual 29-28 split decision merchants.

He does. That's pretty obvious looking at his training videos.
It stemmed from a comment made after a fighter was changed. This was during the rise up the ranks

I think his comment meant: "It doesn't matter, I'm training to beat them all anyway". And not "I never prepare for a specific opponent".

That's absolutely the way a newcomer should be thinking. Outside the top 10 fighters are just going to come in and rock their A game. Not taking a fight on short notice, is essentially saying I'm not significantly better than that guy.

I think the comment you are thinking of was after Mendes stepped in and the legend of when they told Conor (well Kavanaghs version anyway, cause Whites is different) Kavanagh said he woke him up, told him Aldo was out and who he wanted instead, he said "It doesn't matter, they're all the same"

The no specific camp thing was more from Kavanagh too I thought? Not the way the gym operates, its about using each session to improve yourself rather then focus on an opponent. It was ****e talk aswell obviously but almost sure it came from John before Conor. The new narrative is they didn't train for specific opponents because they had so many pull outs, now dropping the just focused on self improvement angle seemingly.
