Prediction: wrong McGregor   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

I could definitely see Diaz boxing up Conor for a few rounds and sealing the deal with a sub later in the fight. For Conor I think he needs to stop Diaz within 2 or 3 since Diaz will come on strong late in the fight.

Prediction: correct Diaz   correct Submission   wrong Round 3  

McGregor could get one punched too, Facestomper.  Aldo was never KOed before his last fight and he had taken some hard shots form Mendes and got right back up.  

Anyone can get KOed under the right circumstances.

I have to wonder: Would Conor tap if Diaz gets him in a tight choke?

Conor seemed pretty pissed when Nate brought up the steroids thing! Maybe Diaz did find a way into his head haha!

Poir, I noticed that too. When Nate says he does not give a F%^K, he means it.

Nate should keep that up until fight time.

This fight in my opinion is very clear for Conor.  But also is true Nate is the first fighter that is taller with more reach than Conor. In long time Conor has been advantace with his reach. I want this fight.

Maybe it's me but I thought Conor got the better of Diaz in most of the exchanges.

I could've watched that press conference for at least another hour or two, that was too short.

It's odd...to watch Nate try to hate Conor, you can tell he respects Conor though.
