Just bigger then the smaller guys mcgregor usually picks on.
taller and lengthier yes more muscular ans stronger... dont make me laff.. nate diaz bird chest assSo it is indeed a fact that Nate wasn't bigger.. at all.
Dude rda would have put connar on thst cage and crushed himJust bigger then the smaller guys mcgregor usually picks on.
All day...Dude rda would have put connar on thst cage and crushed him
frankie is gonna maul McGregor. He is going to taje his time and make it hurt for a long long 25 minutes. Connars mind body and soul will never recover from this beating in the near future he will endure...All day...
He can hit people with single shots, but he can't box. So if he fights someone that can eat his single shots and box well for 25 min, it won't last that long. He's like a generic ninja.Connars. Standup isnt even all what it was thought to be. Lets keep ot 100 all he is is a left hand and flashey kicks
Alright let me clear a spot on the coffee table and set my crack pipe down for a moment. No need to lump yourself in with the rest of the world here. lets just stick to all of us armchair experts in this thread. you were the most adamant of anyone that nate had no chance in the fight. you are the armchair expert who's prediction was furthest from the actual outcome.99% of people thought McGregor was going to win, wtf are you smoking? Jon Anik wagered a tattoo he was so confident and the guy calls fights for a living. Predicting the outcome of a single fight wrong makes me and everybody else in the world "the most wrong"? Put the crack pipe down, son..
If you think adding more than 10lbs onto your frame with less than 2 weeks notice, never having fought in the LW, let alone the WW division in the UFC before won't do anything to your cardio, you are an idiot. There is no kind way to say it. You don't know a goddamn thing about conditioning or the human body. Nate came into the fight at 180lbs, McGregor came in at 168lbs and gassed at the end of the 1st round, then Nate caught him with the right, left combination and rattled him and kept the pressure up til McGregor shot for the takedown. He was dazed as well as gassed and had a dude 12lbs heavier on top and Nate is a black belt in jujitsu
He might have gassed a little bit I'm sure every human being in the world would be more tired in the second then the first. Diaz was also somewhat gassed I'm sure.. I'd assume Diaz would be more tired with no training camp and shit.. conners quick and flashy and ends things fast. So we've never had a chance to see it but now we know he has no tank.. He also looked gassed against Mendez imo...If Nate is the better boxer, why did McGregor win round 1 and throw more significant strikes?
Then he gasses in round 2, just like Lauzon predicted
i'm not arguing that adding muscle doesn't effect cardio. i'm just saying the fight didn't go long enough to find out. nate hurt him and finished him before he gassed.You gotta account for 20 lbs of added muscle that McGregor is not used to carrying..more muscle = more oxygen ... I will watch the fight again when they replay it..hopefully they show it soon ..
Mcgaygor had a full training camp and did not have to do a weight cut their is zero chance cardio effected mcgaygor. he just plain sucks and got exposed as the bum fighter he is. Nate took the fight on 2 weeks notice and had no training camp and had to weight cut and he still whooped that bitch mcgaygor.when a fight goes from one guy being clearly in control....then gets tagged, knees buckle, legs gone...now the other fighter is in control, how can that be a cardio issue? conor was winning the 2nd and looking good doing it. nate was just walking through his shots though and eventually caught conor square. the fight changed immediately following that left hand. conor looking great...then conor looking like a deer in the headlights.
I agree Nate's right, left combo is what rattled him, but he was also completely gassed, count how many deep breaths he takes during the fight, very clear indication of being winded, you don't see that on 145lb ConnorAlright let me clear a spot on the coffee table and set my crack pipe down for a moment.

next. while i certainly AM an idiot, me asserting that the 10 pounds conor may have added was not the cause of his defeat is anything but idiocy. i just watched the fight again just to make sure all that crack smoke didn't have my perspective twisted. conor is winning the 2nd big. 2:23 left in the round conor is in control of the fight and gets tagged jab left hand square in the beard. he's hurt. the fight just changed. conors expression just changed. nate has his range and keeps the pressure on and conor shoots before he gets knocked out. i may not know "a goddamn thing about conditioning and the human body" but i know conor had a full camp and didn't gas in the 2nd. he got tagged, lost his legs and went into survival mode.
calling names on the internet? lol come on broski
He went 3 full rounds with Max Holloway and didn't gas, 2 full rounds with Chad Mendes, didn't gas then either.He might have gassed a little bit I'm sure every human being in the world would be more tired in the second then the first.

I've always said he's pretty good. I've grown to like him. it just is what it is bro. When you get your ass whipped you get your ass whipped. No need for bitchass excuses.. nate didn't even train, it's cray cray that someone would use cardio as an excuse for a champion that had a full training camp.. sometimes you just lose, and that's it.I agree Nate's right, left combo is what rattled him, but he was also completely gassed, count how many deep breaths he takes during the fight, very clear indication of being winded, you don't see that on 145lb Connor

The both of you just want to deny the fact that cardio was a factor on McGregor's part and played a role in the loss to passive aggressively imply that Nate won purely on striking alone. I admitted when I saw the fight the one, two combo is what ended it and that Nate is a great striker, he beat the everloving shit out of Cerrone and Maynard, he's had excellent striking his entire career. You want to try to take away what McGregor has earned by climbing up the featherweight rank, you don't like his public persona or his cocky/confident attitude, and let's be real here, that's the reason you're drinking the haterade and refuse to recognize how great of a fighter he actually is.
Now that the elephant in the room is out of the bag, stop being gaping pussies and enjoy the fights
