^^ oh, I completely agree, Yoss. I had it 48-47. I just don't think 2 was as close as many remember, due to the end of it. Yea Diaz turned it up but he was getting lit up for a good 3& 1/2 minutes. It really wasn't that close. JMO

Rd. 4 is really close too. Just after it ended I scored for Connor but right after that I said the hardest shots in that round were Nate´s so I gave rd. 4 for Nate and the fight to Nate. What do u think about rd. 4?

I had Conor clearly winning round 4. I don't even think Nate hit harder in that round, he looked a bit more tentative, maybe recoving, maybe his version of slightly gassing out, but he seemed like he was accepting more punishment and coming back a bit less.

It was by no means a demolition, but I felt is was one of the easier rounds to score after rounds 1 and 3.

I think Nate's strikes in rd. 4 while less in volume hurt Connor considerably, specially a couple of elbows, while Nate wasn't fazed by Connor's strikes.

Diaz got lit up for the vast majority of R4. Re-watch that ****. That round is not up for debate. 

If you want to say Diaz came on strong to steal R2, I still think you're wrong because he got dropped twice and nearly finished, but sure.

Wait people are actually saying Nate won round 4?  Who ever believes this, you need to go rematch the fight and if you still believe it after that, you need to remove Nate's inserted testicles from your mouth.



Thinking Nate won is one thing (which I don't believe he did) but thinking he won round 4, is just some crazy bias wishful thinking.

I scored rounds 1,2, and 4 for Conor. I think it was the right decision.

Watched at my buddy's house last night. Came home to make sure the butthurt was strong and wasn't disappointed. 

Event Of The Year so far

Fight Of The Year so far

Successful Prick Debut of the Year 

How do you go into a fight against Lorenz Larkin without being prepared to be kicked like it appeared Magny did? 

Still can't stand Covington or Garbrandt despite impressive performances by both.

Sabah Homasi and Glover both deserve to be praised for their courage if not their fight IQ

Welterweight Cowboy better than TRT Vitor and just as good as Motivated BJ Penn

McGregor calling for the rubber match right away is highly irregular. This, combined with the fact that he wants it at lightweight makes me think that he isn't going back to featherweight.
