    The build up would be even crazier. If he doesnt beat Nate, this loss will haunt him forever.

    Lose*. The UFC wouldn't go out of their way to bribe a guy who had a one week training camp. I also only made that claim for the Aldo fight, quote me where I said that the UFC would never let Connor lose. OH wait you can't :lol:. Connor was supposed to win, he was dominating that fight and then got ****y. It's cute to see that you're still so butthurt over me embarrassing you over and over again though :lol:.

    Connor was gassed, pure and simple. He gassed from being on top of the fight for one round. **** movement. That was a disgrace. Despite being 3 inches smaller, he showed himself to be the much more physically talented fighter. However fighting includes intangibles more than any other sport.

    He didn't gas. He was showboating and got caught with a good shot and his legs went.

    Doesn't make sense. Diaz would beat him again and his short lived time as a star will be over. He should defend his FW title against Edgar but it seems apparent that the ufc top brass want no part of making that fight.

    He should not rematch Diaz a rematch would most likely have the same outcome, Diaz at the moment is all wrong for him , go back to feather and stay there for the time being, maybe a move up when he is nearer 30 and struggling at feather

    100% he gassed long before he was finished. His body language was easy to read. He'd shot his load from throwing a few punches and not taking too much damage. A few punches hurt him but he was gassed for too long. He admitted as much after the fight when he said he was inefficient with his energy. That's code for gassed.

    100% gassed. Shouldn't have put so much weight on really, did him no favours.

    Why he was moved up 25lb in one go should be a question for the fool that is Dana White. McGregor is now just another one of his exposed bums.

    If Conor loses his next fight .... that is some crow he will be chewing on .

    Should he fight R D A next ?

    Or the easier fight with Aldo , if they each can still make 145 lol , seems stupid to cut 23 lbs of weight and then each guy fights in the 160's anyway .

    Nate Diaz is simply the better fighter
