He has to diet and exercise a great deal to make 145. He's carrying way more weight than he is used to in fights. Having to diet and exercise so hard to make 145 will help his cardio. |

Congrats to both fighters for making the UFC untold amounts of money.

IMO, not enough to swing the round, but it was close. Round 5 was close. Diaz had a lot of control, but it was ineffective control. The takedown at the end, IMO, won that round for Diaz. Thus 48-47 Connor, and I think that's the way most people saw it as well. Connor fought a great fight. He couldn't knock Diaz out - probably the only opponent he's faced that issue with - but he game planned appropriately, and the low kicks were a masterful way to both take power out of Diaz and keep the distance open so Connor could score points. I didn't think he had it in him, honestly, but I thought that was the only way he could win. |

That's the perfect way to put it. He had a narrow path to victory, and that path revolved around cutting Diaz's power down with the kicks and counterpunching - and NOT getting exposed to Diaz's power. He saw it, and he took it. A lot of growth in him as a fighter from these two fights. As he said after, you win, or you learn. He took that to heart. |

Even after realizing he was getting hammered by those kicks he never made any serious attempt at putting Mcgregor on the ground. His team knew Connor was adjusting for and planning for this fight, yet they went in with the same intent regardless of his clear superiority on the ground. Just don't understand it. |

On a more positive note we were able to watch two girls from my gym fight last night on a smaller outfit. MMAfutures is the name of it. The streaming was kind of shitty, but for $10 it was worth the watch. Some really good guys pitted against some total amateurs. Damn, train before you step in the ring.
Our girls both fought for the first time last night. One won by mounting and beating down her opponent, the other lost in a decision. Good for them. They both trained hard for this and looked good. |

Guys like Nate Diaz it's the reason you carry a gun. What I mean is, there is no way to make some guys quit. Very true, Diaz is 1 tough hombre. Factor drugs into the equation on the street and you would be forced to break something for a perp to stop. And then he might still keep coming. The super human stregnth factor induced then is also what is scary. |

Dude just scored 2 million and that's only what was disclosed. The only fight he's interested in is a rematch and only because of the payday. I bet he would gladly take an 18 month suspension to smoke and hang out. By then Connor will be free from taking care of enough business at featherweight or lightweight and Dana will agree to the trilogy. |

I think too much chance to wait 18 months. bigger money is ASAP. the longer they wait, the greater the chance of it loosing interest and the cash payout.
Imagine if Conor got hurt or severely beaten within 18 months. or if Diaz fucks up even more, which Im sure he will do eventually. It will be in Diaz best interest to get the fight inked ASAP. |

I think too much chance to wait 18 months. bigger money is ASAP. the longer they wait, the greater the chance of it loosing interest and the cash payout. Imagine if Conor got hurt or severely beaten within 18 months. or if Diaz fucks up even more, which Im sure he will do eventually. It will be in Diaz best interest to get the fight inked ASAP. Agree that it's in Diazs best interest but Dana is against it. He wants Connor to defend his belt of give it up. If he doesn't want to fight Aldo at 145 he should fight Alvarez at 155 and if he wins they should let Diaz cut to 155 for a title fight. That would be a money maker right there. I don't believe he has a choice. Aldo is an interim title holder, if McGregor doesn't fight him next I believe he is required to give up his belt. Aldo McGregor 2 is still a huge, HUGE, money maker for the UFC. Diaz McGregor 3 can wait until after that. True. I'd love to see him fight Aldo again. He won't knock him out that easy again. Aldo is a bad man in his own right. The outcome of that first fight really surprised me. If he beats him again then let him have an immediate shot at the 155 also if he wants it. Then like I said before, if he wins that 1 too maybe Diaz can put down the bong long enough to drop to 155 for a title fight. |

Here's my 2 cents that nobody cares about.
Weight divisions exist for a reason. Conor proved a point and probably learned a lot in the process, he also took a lot of damage. Nate is taller/longer than most other 155s, Conor has no business fighting at 170. Conor's advantage of speed/power/movement is perfect for 145 and maybe 155, but it's not going to make him champ at 170. I know you will all give me the  for this one, but I have no desire to see Nate and Conor fight again. Get Conor in against people his own size.
145 to 170 is not the same as Cowboy moving to 170 or Rumble fighting at 245. |

I still think he would have been better off not taking it. Although judging by the second fight he seems to have learned something about himself, game planning and his limitations, so in the end it probably made him a better fighter... Which should scare the shit out of the rest of the featherweights. In the end Conor is still led by the money, and he is honest and open about it, which is kind of refreshing. That is why he took the fight the first time, and is probably why there will be a third fight. |

Conor is far and away the smartest businessman in the UFC and these other rubes who fight for the UFC still think he's just an annoying trash talker. It's so painfully obvious they just don't get it. Maybe down the line I don't have a problem with the fight, but not for at least a few years. |

145 to 170 is not the same as Cowboy moving to 170 or Rumble fighting at 245. I agree he doesn't have the size to be champ at 170 but it's still fun to watch. Same as like GSP at 170 when he was champ. If he had wanted to fight a big name light heavy at the time like Rampage it would have been awesome. |
