HMMMMM
99.9% of fighters tap when they're in a full on guillotine that's being applied by a bjj practitioner as skilled as Nate is. I don't think many fighters "like" to tap; other than Bob Sapp and fighters like that. That said, as good as Nate is on the ground Conor obviously needs work there. Mendes showed the hole in McGregor's takedown defense (granted Mendes is arguably one of the best wrestlers in MMA) and Diaz further exposed that hole tonight by slicing through his guard into mount effortlessly (Conor was hurt at that point in his defense, but still..) and securing a guillotine pretty easily. If McGregor plans on holding onto his belt and continuing to compete with elite grapplers he better start putting some serious serious time into training to stuff takedowns, transitions from the bottom, submission defense, and possibly some sort of active guard or ideally submission attempts from his back. Anyway, that was a big rant that derailed from the original subject quickly. My point is: 209. Stockton. ************. What?

Love seeing Conor's attitude after losing.
I was a massive GSP fan and the 2007 loss to Matt Serra was devastating for me. I never got that emotionally attached to another fighter haha.
GSP came back and never lost again; we'll see how McGregor responds to this big stage defeat. Will say a lot.
