the fuck he didn't. conor missed alot. was short alot. but he landed bombs bro. several huge uppercuts. in the 2nd he actually catches nate coming in with a huge straight left and IT DID NOTHING. watch the fight again. i've watched the motherfucker 5 times. he blasts nate with all kinds of fire. he does better in the 2nd round than the first until nate finally gets him.

I was watching it on the computer so maybe I missed it, true. Humble in defeat. hehe

I doubt he landed his best shots on Diaz, not even one but will watch a replay. Holloway did survive 5 rounds with him so maybe Nate could take it?

I don't think McGregor has any chance of beating Edgar. UFC knows it, that's why they gave him chad for the interim belt. Frankie might be the best boxer in the ufc. If CM can't catch him with a haymaker he wont win. Edgars to fast and to technical in and out cutting angles and lighting you up with combo's. Im not sure he hits hard enough to knock out edgar. For all the hype coming into the ufc McGregors skills aren't very good. He has a left hand not much else. Footwork isn't good, misses punches and gets off balance and stands square to his opponent and keeps his hands very low. The left uppercut he really loads up on it. Good strikers like Frankie will see it coming, slip it and counter it.
edgar vs mac will be an interesting fight if they make it. they probably won't though. it'll be an aldo rematch. franky is a good boxer, with great cardio, great wrestling, and a great chin. mac will not be whiffing on punches and kicks against franky the way he was against diaz though. franky is a midget. i don't think franky is even in the conversation for best boxer in the ufc, although he DID look great against mendes. on the feet i think cm will woop franky, but it remains to be seen if mcgregor has the ability to keep it there.

Their fight was 3 rounds. A lot of that fight took place on the ground McGregor bruised his knee in that fight.

I still say Mac did not hit Nate with many hard punches. A very few and not on the chin. He gassed from all the misses, or his arms gassed let's say.

Mac did say that he ko'd fw fighters with those punches but that does not change that he did not land his best shot on him. Mute point now.

it's funny that people keep saying its because he went up two weight classes. Diaz is a LW Mcgregor was training for RDA a LW. CM was 168, Diaz was 169 at the weigh ins. I think people are making conor look bad and taking away what Nate was able to do. Two men agreed on a weight, a time, and a place went in a cage and fought until there was a winner. That's it, not the end of the world. There are a lot of ways to lose in mma you get kicked in the face you're going to sleep, a bjj black belt gets you're neck you're going to sleep, Rousy gets your arm you tap or she's takin your arm home. In top level mma everybody loses eventually, I cant think of anybody with 10 or more fights in the ufc that hasn't lost. People making excuses for it, its not a good look.

I wonder how much of it was him gassing vs. several knees Diaz threw into his gut. Ever been punched in the gut? I can only imagine how much more impact a knee would have.

As for the extra muscle nonsense, he had it on him the entire time he was training. No way he added 10 lbs of muscle in two weeks, NO WAY. Not even anabolic steroids works that well.

The guy bit off more than he could chew, pretty simple; I've done it several hundred times in my years. I'll be watching his next fight; he's an exciting fighter. Humble pie usually has shit for filling, so perhaps he will tone down the shit talking a bit.

I hope Edgar is next. Aldo backed out of the first fight and was done 13 seconds into the second.

It's not excuses, it's comprehensive analysis. He gassed according to himself and pretty much everybody that watched the fight. That's what happens to the human body when you add on mass. Rogan talks about it all the time with guys like Rumble Johnson, Gleison Tibau, Melvin Guillard, etc. More mass = More oxygen, pretty basic body science. More evidence is the fact he's never gassed in any other fights he's had in the UFC at featherweight. Combined, the picture is clear to the honest observer.

mcgregor and nate are very close to the same size. nates frame is huge compared to macs but they both walk around at around 175 lbs.

i hope he doesn't tone down the shit talking. i love that shit. thats what pumps up fights and gets people excited to watch. when he said he was humble in defeat and victory he is talking about after the fight....and he has been as far as i've seen. he was very humble and respectful towards aldo after he starched him. he showed up to the post fight press conference after he lost to diaz and answered every question he was asked....gave nate some credit. basically admitted that nate walked through his best shots...said the same shots crumbled featherweights.

people see things differently sometimes but i saw conor load up and drill nate squarely on several occasions in that fight.4:05 of round 2 he catches nate moving forward right in the mouth with a straight left hand. that shot would probably blow franky edgars head off. a lesser shot blew aldo's off. didn't even phase diaz.

macs footwork was getting a little sloppy towards the middle of the second. he was definitely not as fresh as he was in the first. but i still say fatigue was not the primary factor in him losing. he got hurt badly from a punch.

Muscle definitely uses more oxygen, throwin big shots, getting kicked/punched in the stomach all of that takes energy. It was his choice to move up in weight, he didn't get a call the night before. If he didn't know what carrying extra weight or hitting someone heavier than 145 was gonna be that's on him. maybe sparring with some bigger guys or take a fight or two at155 before goin for the belt. If he didn't know what the extra weight was gonna do and feel like he didn't train. You can't pick a fight with someone bigger/stronger/faster/tougher then complain about losing, these guys aren't back stage pulling names outta a hat. If you're not ready don't sign the the contract. I bet this will be a blessing in disguise for McGregor, he'll get back to work put lambo and custom suits away and get back to what got him there. He made some of the best guys in the world look silly, when you have money you have an endless supply of yes men that inflate your ego until someone brings you down to earth a little more modest and a lot wiser.
