Prediction: correct Diaz   correct Submission   correct Round 2  

@nomad

i think its funny you put all that info about how much this is not a easy fight for conor but still pick him to win by tko ko.

nate is bigger, longer reach, and has been hit harder then conor. then his ground games is on a different level then conor i dont care what anyone believes.  the only way i see the ko vicktory is nate leaves his hands down to long just gets caught

Prediction: wrong McGregor   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

I just re-watched the Mendes fight on Youtube and I almost forgot how much Mendes landed on the feet against McGregor (and the ground obviously). Granted, Conor hit him a lot more, but Mendes does not have the boxing Diaz has, Chad has the speed edge on Diaz but the technique in the boxing goes to Nate. If motivated Diaz shows up, look out.

It could also be a big mistake for Conor to go up 2 weight classes right away and fight a guy who's got a reach, height and experience advantage. Nate has been stopped before, and I think Conor could do the same, but it took Josh 3 rounds to do it and Nate's chin is good, I'm not so sure Conor is going to look good past the 3rd round. If this goes deep, I think Diaz will finish him late. Slightly favor Conor but this fight is a big question mark for me.

Nothing is happened in the staredown. No big deal.

Well it pains me to pick McGregor but I will still be rooting for Nate the whole time!

If Conor fought Poirier again, would you pick McGOAT?

Poirier has always reminded me of Channing Tatum, I have no idea why.

You need to give him some hell and convince him at a future family reunion, haha. Does he even know you guys are related? Poirier isn't all that common of a name, but still.
