I also think it is going to be one bad weight cut. i dont think he can make it 5 rounds with anybody

Also his cardio looked fine against other guys,including Mendes which was a tough fight till the end,and that was after cutting to 145.Some people have better cardio not cutting weight and carrying extra weight and some people have better cardio at a lower weight class,cutting weight and not carrying extra.That's just how it is,people's bodies react differently.For some reason most mma fans are under the impression if you don't cut weight your cardio is going to be 100% of your capabilities and sometimes that's not the case.Conor does not carry the extra weight well imo.Conor belongs at 145 or he'll get f'd up by guys like RDA bad.

I think Conor tired in both Diaz fights because Diaz was still standing after how much Conor threw.

Round 1: 10-9 Conor (or very possibly a 10-8)
Round 2: 10-10 (or 10-9 Diaz for the momentum shift)
Round 3: 10-9 Diaz (or a 10-8 for nearly finishing many times)
Round 4: 10-9 Conor
Round 5: 10-9 Diaz
It's all how you scored rounds 1-3 and if there were 10-8's. I have to re-watch. I remember agreeing with Joe Rogan though thinking that it was even going into the 5th. If McGregor got the 10-8 and Diaz didn't in the 3rd then I guess it would have been a 47-47 draw like the 2nd judge thought. Which frankly seems more realistic than either one of them winning that one, it was such a back and forth fight.

He stalked Diaz for a lot of the fight and ****** his face up, but if you're fighting a Diaz and in a bad spot, god forbid you don't stand in front of them and take punishment or get finished "like a man".

It was a close back and forth fight. The right guy got the decision. Peoples hate is getting in the way of what an excellent scrap it was.

instead I just wanted to say that I do think Conor ran in a few cases, not every time he got away from Diaz, but theres a diference when he uses his slips and footwork to avoid strikes and put some distance between fighters, and turning around and jog away from your opponent. Cruz uses side steps and takes 2-3 steps to get away from his opponents. But to me what Conor did looked more like runnig away than slipping away.
of course its not about standing still infront of his opponent, I personaly havenmt read or heard about anyone complaining that Conor didnt stood still and traded with DIaz... but Ive heard some complaints that he ran... just like a lot of people complain that maywather runs in his fights.
like I said before I enjoyed the fight a lot, in fact Im still pumped and I still think about it when i wake up and go to bad. it was that exciting to me. and Conor little jogs didnt bother me.... but to me he did ran a few times, very clearly showing his back to Diaz and sprinting away... not very technical stuff.

I like the Diaz bros. but they can't handle losses for ****. As far as they're concerned they've never lost a fight. Bendo was tuning Nate up and he was flipping him off like he was winning, Condit ran, GSP laid on top of him (coveniently disregarding all the elbows to the face while doing so), Thompson knocked Nate out but he was "moaning like a girl", the RDA loss was only because Nate was "disinterested in fighting but needed the money". They're basically champions of all weight classes, the only real and clean fighters on the planet and only lose to *****ass punks who are scared to fight them.

I never said Conor didnt fight, I specifically said that I remember 2 rounds in which he ran one more than the other. Im not talking **** about Conor the only thing that could be taken as judgment (I would call it Adjective) was that it was not very techincal of him. you call it what you wil, I call it running and that´s not hating, its just what happened.
Im not mad about the result I said it from the begining, dont agree with it but it doesnt bother me. that doesnt mean I wont speak my mind.

I wasn't taking his word, I was agreeing, and I already said I was going to re-watch, thanks.
