As much as I love to hate McGrogor, I don't think that was a robbery at all. Just a close fight. 
Nate Diaz got the tides in his favor in the third round, but kinda faded in the 4th.

Could've gone either way, really. those knockdowns on the second round may have given Conor the fight.

**** this. 

I'mma go all out rappinpapsoda, and say this decision was not legit. For ****s sake. Diaz won, I don't care. How did Conor win 3 rounds? Diaz was lighting him up at the end of round 2 badly. Dominated round 3. Conor won round 4, but round 5 was another obvious round for Nate. I'm definitely a bit salty... Okay, a lot salty, but ****, no way Conor won 3 rounds of that.

@CarteLL, disgusted? It was no robbery man.

Round 1: Clearly Conor
Round 2: Conor owned 70% of it, but Nate's 30% were more damaging, either way. While I was watching I gave Conor the edge, but I'm not exactly objective.
Round 3: Nate, maybe even 10-8
Round 4: Conor
Round 5: Again, most of the round was Conor's, though less decisively than round 2 but Nate finished strong, I gave it to Nate.

I'd say any decision, including a draw, can fly here. No robberies.

If Diaz got the win he deserves they wouldn't be able to sell a trilogy. Profits come first.

@vazio  I agree. I scored it for Diaz, but it was an extremely close fight. I definitely don't think it was a robbery that Connor won.

@yossgold you're obviously Conor's fan.. 2,3 and 5 were clearly Nate's rounds. Watch the fight again and you will see that. Everything I know is Conor didn't won 3 rounds in this fight... no way he did. Should've been draw at least but they got to end this classic fight with a robbery. That's ******* sad.

Anyone calling this a robbery is, yes, you called it, a ******* ******. Conor arguably won every round but the 3rd. I'd say Conor clearly won, but wouldn't call it a robbery if they gave it to Diaz. People just like to hate people who are more talented than them and aren't humble about it, fact of life.

People ***** about literally every decision. Lol. I cannot stand Conor, and I ******* love Nate Diaz. And I am indifferent on the decision. That was not a robbery. 

McGregor won R1/2, Diaz won R3/5, R4 wasn't clear for anyone. I did have Diaz winning 3-2, but in no world do I consider that a robbery, or am I mad at the decision. Shut up.

I enjoyed that fight more than any other fight so far in 2016. Can't wait for the trilogy.

Thought it was great and very close fight but Conor dropped Diaz in the 2nd and won the majority of the Rd before Diaz finished strong so I give him that Rd and the fight. Conor 1 2 4

What am I crying here actually... Aldo ****** his first chance up but that won't happen twice. Conor won't be able to avoid that moment. That's what makes me calm right now... the thought that Aldo will take his belt confidently back and ******* judges won't be able to do anything about that...
