McGregor via SubmissionYeah, totally agree.
Watching it live I felt it could go either way when it ended but watching it with either corner's commentary and it just looks like a no brainer that Conor won. Round 3 in particular looks so much different. A round he didn't win but it's amazing how much closer it looks without Rogan screaming.
One think I noticed about Round 4 is that Nate looked spritely at the start but Conor gives him a kick in the side and his Corner says 'Oh, that's hurt him' and Nate slows and does little for that round then. Not something I noticed at all first time but now it looks huge as Conor was so tired after round 3 that I had thought Nate had him if I'm honest.
Was kind of funny hearing JK get pissed off a little when corner did a spin kick. Understandable though as Nate caught one of them an almost took Conor down. Another thing which really surprised me watching the fight with Nate's corner's commentary was how sure they where Nate had won. I think it was Jake maybe that even kept asking Nate before the result if they could all lift him up. They were convinced, as they were many times also that Conor was done, which makes watching the fight with the Diaz corner's commentry quite satisfying in many ways
As an aside, question for anyone that watches a lot of fights with corner commentaries: are there any fighters who don't like two or three members of their corner constantly shouting support / instructions at them? As I think that would wreck my head if I was a fighter. Sometimes some of the stuff being said was contradictory.0 -
My wife came up with this idea for round scoring, and she was totally serious
:(
The squeeky things that are in dogs toys shall be put in a fighters glove, every time the glove squeeks then a point is awarded, one with most points wins round :pac::pac:
Asked he what about kicks, knees, takedowns etc, not worth a shoite she said :rolleyes::rolleyes:
End it man0 -
Diaz via SubmissionBig John's take on things, hopefully people can stoo spouting the fight was nearly stopped in the third. He says it how it was conor was rolling ans blocking most of the shots against the cage.

No idea how that guy interviewing him can say that he would have no problem with the fight being stopped. Bizarre thing to say.
That was mind boggling the interviewer challenging John and insisting it was a 10-8 round.
Anyone who says John McCarthy is "a ref" clearly knows nothing about MMA.
The sport of MMA owes a serious amount to John McCarthy. He was a huge factor in getting the Unified Rules, huge factor in training Judges etc.
He's one of the Pioneers of MMA.
RE: Rogan - it's not just Irish or McGregor fans saying it. Some really surprising figures have absolutely trashed him for the bias he showed. Journos like Jonathan Snowden of Bleacher Report - who is the bigger McGregor troll imaginable - said it was insanely biased and probably influenced by a shared love of weed.
That beautiful 1-2 Conor landed was met with pure silence. 2 hard elbows on leaving the clinch met by silence. The 3 Knockdowns were met by a monotone "he tagged him Mike".
Contrast that with when Conor slipped. That warranted a shriek of "Conors in trouble". In the late rounds, Nate threw the most weak, tired 4 punch body combo i've ever seen in my life. It was Mr Burns esque comical. No slight on Nate, they were both knackered, but Rogan said "oh he's letting rip on him!".
Even contrast the post-fight interviews. First fight, smiles and laughter when Nate put his hands on the mic. When Conor did it Rogans face tensed up and got annoyed.
Even contrast it to the smile Rogan had when Conor beat Mendes and Aldo. Rogan was all smiles.
Point here is that there was a clear, obvious bias with plenty of evidence to back it up.
I hope it doesn't carry forward into Conors next fight, whether it's Alvarez, Aldo, GSP whoever he pulls out of the hat. It really does influence the casual fan and i think part of the reason fans get offended is Conor deserves better than that. Forget the Diaz fans or McG fans .....the neutral casual fans came away from that fight call thinking Diaz was robbed. The fact he made such a song and dance over that takedown in the 5th with 9 seconds left, omitted Conors takedown, and casually said "that could be huge on the scorecards"........that leaves the casual fan thinking Nate won. that's 100% down to Rogan.0 -

The audio is in this thread somewhere I am pretty sure
Funny.
I seen Diaz take him down. I didn't see him pound him on the ground.
A few punches that didn't land is what I seen.0 -
