    His chin is cracked, he needs about a year or two off. That drunken ****** dance he did was kind of scary. How do you get clipped by a bloodied, dazed guy with 10 losses with 11 days of training. That's absurd.

    Except he's wrong about everything he posted. Mcgregor had to kill himself to shed 30 pounds to make 145, Floyd fights at around his walk around weight.

    It's quite clear that McGregor's lack of punch resistance was his downfall, even with that beard.

    I think his chin is okay, he just needs to put his hands up more, I bet if I go back to his fights before Mendes etc, and before he got all his fame he kept his hands up more. He literally fought with his hands down the WHOLE fight. You cant duck and dodge every shot.

    Nate is bigger but I think what some people are trying to point out is that there wasn't that big of a difference. Nate and Mcgregor are on opposite ends of the spectrum of weight. On one side you have Mcgregor who is killing himself to make 145 and looking like a zombie every weigh in. Then there is Nate who was walking around at 177 and easily made the limit with a week of camp. Both situations point to both fighters being a lot closer to each other than what everyone is assuming.

    I don't know, man. That one two changed the tide of the fight, had McGregor looking drunk as ****. Diaz was bloodied, couldn't see, and was losing the fight until that meaty combination.

    If his punch resistance isn't in question now, it sure will be in the future. Once they crack, they don't come back.

    He got hit on the chin several times before that 1, 2 though. The damage was building up, it wasn't like he cracked after the first 1,2 and lets keep in mind the gloves they use in the mma. I think connor is fine, he should rematch Nate. Nate with a full training camp vs Connor with a way better game plan should be interesting.

    I didn't really see anything land significant before that combination. I honestly thought Conor was schooling Diaz, thought he was going to take him out in the first round. That one two literally came out of nowhere imo. I have to watch the fight again.

    Connor was schooling Diaz, but Diaz was definitely landing on that chin several times. Watching it I thought it wasnt doing anything to Connor because it wasnt moving him but I'm guessing that the damage added up.

    The cardio was the issue. He wasn't in shape to go more than 2 hard rounds. It wasn't exposed at FW because none of the smaller guys he fought could live with his power.

    Now more than ever I'm convinced that Edgar will take his FW belt if he stops getting passed over for a title shot.

    I don't take anything anything away from Connor. He moved up about 5 classes to fight Diaz. It was probably wasn't the best decision, but fighters fight, so kudos to him. on the flip side to all that, again I have the opportunity to laugh at fighters who who always seems to jab Mayweather whether it's jealousy or just hate. Mayweather garners so much attention from these fools, that they forget that they are not fighting mayweather but the assigned opponent.

    The second time a mma fighter (ufc claims to be able to beat Floyd and then loses.

    lesson of the night, leave floyd alone.
