Hey I've watched UFC for a long time and many years ago the Diaz brothers were a big deal on the quiet I think Conor was getting into the business watching them very similar styles. They could have been big champions but problems with attitudes and drugs affected their careers.
It's been a long time since either brother fought but on the quiet I still think Nate will be a tough opponent as they were lucky enough to have natural talent. Have a watch on youtube some old clips of them.
I just really hope Conor doesn't underestimate Nate, it could go either way that Conor takes him out quick or it will be tough fight. I am a lot more worried about the original match than Dos Anjos, you watch the PPV money fly, lol
Thanx,Yeah I'll have to check some of those old fights out on YouTube....to be honest I hadn't heard of them but I am recently new to this and I know you have followed it for some time.
I don't know where you are in the world but are all these fights on PPV?I get them as part of my sports package,the hardest thing for me is staying up during the night to see them,I do record them just incase but ya can't beat live sport!
I am paying extra tomorrow night on PPV to watch our own Carl Frampton fight(boxing)
Yeah it can be hard I'm a WWE fan also so having to stay up to watch PPVs is not uncommon agreed nothing beats it seeing it live even half asleep lol
Yes should be a good fight tomoz I think Frampton has got it. (Hopefully)
I am also hoping with UFC that Bisping can pull off the fight against Silva not going to happen but Bisping is a top guy (met him)
What a night for great victoriesWin for Frampton and Bisping beats Silva in UFC
You see it @EdNorton?
I watched the boxing Flash,it wasn't a very good fight but I was delighted with Frampton's deserved win....not sure what fight one of the refs was watching.
I was planning on turning over after that to watch UFC and for some reason that wasn't on BT Sport so that was that....you happy with that result?
Not long now to McGregor.....fingers crossed for that one.
I am bit concerned as I said about the mcgregor fight now. I would be less so if he hadn't had to put on all that weight for his original fight so I think he may be slower and watching the press conference, have you seen it? I hope he's not getting caught up in an ego battle than just doing what he does best. Hmmm will just have to see. Yes I was happy for Michael top bloke I can't stand Silva so arrogant and I thought you idiot no one said the fight is over and they had to drag him back down.
I haven't seen the press conference Flash,I don't know anything about the other guy but I am still confident he will win....he's a great fighter.
Have you ever seen McGregor's documentary?I only caught the last episode or two on TV but it was very good,I'll have to see if it's on YouTube and try and see all of it.
The hype has been huge now and I'm really hoping with the extra weight and all the press and fighting that Conor has his mind on the fight lol
I'm sure he will Flash.....looking forward to it and the Holm and Tate fight as well,going to have to set my alarm to get up about 3am to watch it.
Sadly I called it. I had a feeling as I said that Conor would lose. I told you Diaz is good and I think Conor put on too much weight and was pretty slow and sadly as I also said he clearly got caught up in everything. His game plan went out of the window and it became a brawl and in a brawl Nate was always going to win. I've very disappointed as I am a big Mcgregor fan but that was bad fight.
Glad Miesha won though again predicted that Holly's win over Ronda was a fluke, she was rotten in this fight and Miesha dominated the fight and glad she won. I dont know why Ronda did take it to the ground. However I can also see Ronda vs Miesha again and Ronda winning again as she's beaten her before. Considering how often Ronda had to defend and then Hollys first defence and she was bit rubbish, odd.
Very disappointed for Conor. But hopefully he will bounce back, he looked a bit broken afterward suddenly the wee lad from Ireland was standing in the ring again a bit lost. He needs to feel himself again I think he's been a bit lost in the hype and money etc.' He didn't look confident coming to the ring first time in a long time. I think he wold she beat Dos Anjos but I had a feeling he would lose to Nate. He needs to lose the weight again, it was too much for him fighting someone at 170 is huge
It is risky @Flash your right,if McGregor was to lose the re-match then where would he go from there?that would more than likely be the end of him.
I think it's safe to assume that he won't underestimate Diaz this time and will be better prepared so all being well we will see the result we want this time.
I really think he should have have fought some he could beat to build confidence back. It can be timing and who you fight. for example Meisha Tate couldn't beat Ronda but when Ronda (total set up) mysteriously lost to Holly (who?) I knew that then when they fought Miesha would win which she did. Holly has turned down Cyborg as she knows she would lose and then two losses that's it. I really think after such a great rise Mcgregor should really be careful he can beat Diaz this time. I mean maybe the first fight was a suprise although I called it and this time Dana has paid Diaz a huge amount to then take a fall against Mcgregor who knows?
McGregor out of UFC 200
Rumours of retirement.
You'll not like to hear that @Flash
