I think Conor wins by KO in the 3rd. Also, I see him proposing to Dee in the Octagon straight after the win...

God. Donald Cerrone is a dork. Conor will still rely on his left hand to KO Nate, lose the game plan, go straight in there again and Nate will land the same heavy shots that stunned Conor before and get him to the ground.

Great breakdown from Hardy.

Head still says Diaz, never liked the original match up. RDA pulling out was worst thing ever to happen to Conor. Conor does looked to have adapted however lets see what happens. Stick and move, pepper him with low kicks might be the only way to get the W here, 5 full rounds of scoring and running out of poor positions.

FYI & ANYONE ELSE GOING!!!!!

On fight day hide your flag going into the venue! I don't know why, but at 196 they were taking tricolours away from anyone going through security. I still had mine in my backpocket so I was alright but there were hardly any to be seen inside the MGM. Some lads said they had their flags around their shoulders walking up and at the security gates had it taken off them.

I think conor will make amends for the last fight if he sticks to the gameplan, maybe a doctor stoppage rnd 4 my guess, no way he's going to even attempt to take the head off diaz early this time
A fifth round would be very interesting if diaz happens to be well behind
will diaz be able to goad conor into a brawl though?

Just watched the Bad Blood and 3 episodes of Embedded.

Everytime is shows McGregor i think he will win and there is no way he can lose.

Then they show Diaz and i think he will win and there is no way he can lose.

UFC playing games with me .

He has looked absolutely nasty at welterweight though.

I am the exact same.

But when you put it all down on paper, Diaz is just favourite to win in every area.

Yet I STILL can't help thinking Conor will put it out of the bag.

I know Eddie is just looking for a money fight but 'conor is a good talker, he has to be because he is not too good a fighter' :pac:

Have to laugh at Michael Chiesa too

Diaz all day. I don’t think Conor wants this fight as much as he says he does and I think Nate will ‘Stockton Slap’ his way to a win

The only reason this fight is happening because Conor wants it so bad

Are you referring to the treadmill? That was Dillon Danis who was brought in to help Conor prepare.

I'd say Alvarez is praying to every god he can think of that Shelby doesn't make that match

I think he means Ido on the bike.He was miles behind Conor and his partner and only caught up with them on the video a while later.

RoryMac

Looked like poor Ido was last in the queue to pick their bikes, his one was only a small step up from a penny-farthing

Love Diaz's way of avoiding all the "I'm gonna beat you" "No, I'm gonna crush your hips" back and forth that goes on before most fights (and definitely would have gone on if McGregor had won the first one). He just says things like "He thinks hes gonna win, I think I'm gonna win, we're gonna see" or else last time when he said "He better hope he knocks me out". It ends the discussion straight away and avoids the pressure of finishing in a particular way or a specific round. Also, the UFC using the "Bad Blood" tagline for promoting the fight aint very accurate - both fighters clearly respect each other a lot.

They were all slow as feck. Conor was on an expensive carbonfibre road bike and some lad on a heavy aluminium mountain bike with chunky tyres was doddling along beside him.

Glasses of HTFU needed all around.

That's Julian Dalby former national cycling champion. I highly doubt he's riding an aluminum bike tbh

You can see the welds on the frame. I doubt he brought his own bike over, and I doubt he asked for a mountain bike for road training.
Even if it was a carbon-fibre frame it would still be massively heavier, has wider, lower gearing and the tyres are still twice as wide and designed for off road use and has front suspension forks which add more weight and mean you lose part of your power transfer from ever pedal thanks to the compression of the forks.

BT Sport interviewed Nate today, asked him what he weighs right now, he woke up at 176 and was 182 last week, was never anywhere near 200.

No he clearly was 200 mate his boxing coach and Chael Sonnen said it.
