No punches landed on the ground.
So if you swing but don't connect it's still pound and ground and you get points for not connecting?
Interesting.
Stop it!!!

Re-reading this thread and even by your stunning level of anti-Conor, these sour grapes take the biscuit.
Interested to know if you have re-watched Round 2 since?
It was 2 knockdowns for a start.
Nate barely laid a hand on Conor for 3 and a half mins of the 2nd round.
It was embarrassingly one sided!!!! And the last 40 second flurry all Nate did was bounce shots off shoulders and Conor snuck in strikes.
Round 2 is borderline 10-8 to Conor up until about 20 seconds to go, and i'd only give 10-9 based on the fact Nate connected with 2 clean punches.
SMH.
As Kavanagh noted today, Round 3 (the one 10-8 was given by 1 Judge) is actually so close to a 10-9 conor or 10-10 if you score it objectively over the 5 minutes. Conor shaded the first 4 mins. Nate flurried for a minute.
I've seen 3 prominent Journalists from Bleacher Report, MMA Fighting and now MMAJunkie come out after a re-watch with Muted commentary and give it to Conor 49-46 or 49-47.
10-9, 10-9, 9-10, 10-9, 10-10 i feel is the perfect score for 49-47.
The takedown at the very end for Nate can't be weighted heavily whatsoever given it's duration (9 seconds) and damage (minimal).
You can make a strong case Nate didn't win any of the rounds clearly. Conor won 3 rounds decisively.
Also, as a final point - people keep saying Nate has so much Scar Tissue and bleeds easily. Go re-watch the RDA fight, the Johnson fight, the Rory Mac fight..... he was trickling blood at worst. He looked barely touched against Johnson.
Conor was the first man to ever drop Nate 3 times in a fight from strikes and he busted his face into pieces.
I look forward to Darced and Subcomandante Marcos cheerleading Eddie Alvarez in 12 weeks.

I agree with alot of what you're saying here but too say Diaz didn't win any around decisively is false. He clearly won the 3rd and 5th imo. While the takedown and 9 seconds of octagon control don't do much with 9 seconds left, for me it was enough to tip an evenly balanced round Diaz's way.
Anyone who thinks Rd 2 was for Diaz and Rd 3 was a 10-8 is blinded by their hate for Conor.0 -

Only 3 years ago he was popping into the Post Office on his way to the airport to collect his dole before flying to take on Brimage. It's an unbelievable story.
