I didn't notice anything out of the normal this time around. The Irish were relatively subdued compared to his previous bouts and most of Diaz's fans can't afford tickets. Unless you mean on the internet. I haven't been reading pre-fight fan reactions on any of the sites because it's always the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's tough but I didn't like that he turned his back and jogged away twice from Diaz. I'm very disappointed in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JV77 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 The win for Conor is not in question. But this fight and last fight showed that he is far from being great and well rounded. Him and Aldo would be a very even match up standing, with the edge on the ground clearly for Aldo. The 13 sec KO, I won't call it a fluke but it definitely wouldn't happen again.

If Conor even lands one of the shots he landed on Aldo like he did against Nate tonight, its night for Aldo, Conor is the worst matchup for Aldo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SabreFan1 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 McGregor vs. Diaz 3 won't happen any time soon unless Conor wins the lightweight belt within the next year. Not sure how many here caught it but Diaz said he won't fight again until he gets a third fight. By the way he's been talking in interviews, it sounds like he's done with the smaller money fights. I doubt that Dana White is going to give Diaz comparable money for fighting anybody else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe after that he'll fight Nate but he might try and get that 2nd belt before. Diaz will be in his near future no question about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is true but obviously Aldo can't get hit clean like that, as most a part from Diaz would drop. Aldo needs to use his leg kicks or get it to the ground. This why even though Aldo beat Edgar again, Edgar would be an issue for Conor. Aldo had powerful take down stuffs against Edgar, but don't think Conor would.

RRypien37 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Surprised how little talk there is about last nights fights. This card was much more entertaining than the hyped up UFC 200 imho. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is Conor striking was pretty good before but now is even better which is bad news for Aldo, however to the Edgar question although I do agree with you that takedowns would be a problem, the fight on Saturday showed Conor takedown defence is pretty good against Nate who isn't a wrestler but had 25-30lbs weight on him and still stuffed it even after being exhausted. Frankie should go down to the Bantamweight division and fight Cruz that would be an insane matchup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRussianRocket. Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Damn, Canada's very own. Wish him the best. If it means going overseas to get a better living, so be it. I'm sure he'll be back in the UFC sometime down the road but it makes sense financially for why he's making the move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UFC didn't want to match the offer from Bellator. Bad move, IMO. I hope his first fight is against that jackass Michael Page. Never liked that arrogant dude and I bet Rory destroys him. Get a title shot after that and he'd probably be the new champ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFCanuck Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Wonderboy made Rory look pretty bad in his last fight. I'm not surprised the UFC doesn't want to pay big for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tre Mac Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Bored at work so I measured my boxing reach after learning of Jones's incredible 85" reach. Mines is 74" which is greater than my height which is 6'. Cool story, I know. I start training tomorrow. My nickname will be the Artic Hurricane and my fight song will be "I just died in your arms tonight.' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 6'2" but I have the same reach as my buddy who is 6'7" when we stood side by side. Edited August 25, 2016 by RRypien37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
