Good fight but LOL at Conor being rocked by those punches. This is why I prefer boxing to MMA, even Amir Khan would take those punches like nothing.
I knew as soon as this guy fights a Mexican/Chicano warrior he is getting chin checked. Mofo has been feasting on Brazilian china!
You don't know how good this victory feels....bunch of MMA sites and YouTube clogged with Conor fanboys overrating and quoting everything he does. Bet those checks ain't gonna be SuperHeavyweight Anymore.😅😅😅😅
Nate Diaz throws straight punches , they don't have to be particularly hard if they land on the point of your chin . Conor doesn't have a glass chin , he just learned not to trade with a guy who is bigger than him and has good boxing skills.
Yes he does. He could not hang with an out of shape stoner who came in on a 2 week notice. Diaz literally put the blunt down 2 weeks ago to beat the UFC's top frontier.:hi:
He has a weak Chin. The guy seemed to be the goods, but he definitely has a susceptible mandible. There's no way around it.
Uh , no . You missed the part where Nate was in shape and had been training for an upcoming triathalon . Nate is just a natural boxer , once he gets his hands moving , he is very fluid , Conor was foolish thinking he could trade with the bigger man .
He was rocked easily in the 2nd round by a ****ing BJJ artist. Find me any top boxer that would go down as easy as that... It's ridiculous how easily MMA fighters get KOd, half of fights end by the 2nd or 3rd round.
No ****. Nate dwarfed Mcgregor. He never going to win in the exchanges. Just shows how size and power doesn't carry to well, although some of the shots Mcgregor landed would have hurt some at 170. Every shot landed by Nate, mcgregor wasn't going to absorb to well, it was evident.
Don't underestimate Nate Diaz' boxing skills. He punches straight, fluid, and throws nice combinations behind the jab. Conor is also an excellent striker. Size (and ground skills) were the difference. Conor hit Diaz plenty, and hurt him, but did not have the one punch knockout power at that weight. Once Diaz got his timing down and started connecting, McGregor seemed yes to get hurt and to gas. Then Diaz ground skills were totally dominant. I would not say McGregor is glass chinned. He just got caught trading with a bigger, skilled puncher. Must be mentioned that Diaz wasn't intimidated.
Excellent striker my ass! It was hilarious how often mcgregor would get tagged back just as he landed a punch. His technical deficiencies were laid bare. The first fight he didnt have a massive reach advantage his defence is non existent and his chin got blown up. UFC hype product exposed.
Uh ..... Conor is not a top boxer , he is a good MMA fighter . Conor did not go down from a punch , he got rocked due to keeping his hands down . Got to protect that chin laddie . Conor chose to try to take Nate down which back fired as Nate easily took control on the ground and sunk in the choke for the win.
Watch his fights at his usual weight. The precision, speed, and power are clear. Watch the fights. Don't just judge on tonight's fight.
