Yeah, even mentioning the 2 week camp, I think he's dead in the water.

Regardless of what condition diaz is in he will get wrecked he doesnt have the skill to win, its that simple he has a punchers chance nothing more

if only nate had the brains to even attempt to take conor down it would at least be interesting

He doesnt even have one,he hasnt got one punch knockout power,diaz only hope is some clinch into a trip then submission,hes not ko ing conor and hes not winning 3 rounds.

I think if mcgregors been training for a tough RDA and gets a lazy diaz it will be an easy night. that said who the f*ck knows really look how tall diaz was to him and the reach, we never ever know.

i only said earlier that conor was a giant in the land of jockeys!!! it's lilliput for em down at 145, maybe that's why he always said he'd clear out that division 1st, he was right really.

A trianglers chance!

Over 300k live streaming it,other streams included there was probably 4 or 500k watching a press conference that is crazy.

didnt ken florian get to 135 at one stage or was it only that 145'er against jose??? ha ha ha I think his head alone must be in the 155 division on it's own now!

I'd say he meant 3 of the 5, which is enough to win the fight.

it will be but I mean to get a decision he needs 3 rounds to conors 2 at least,lack of camp will put a stop to that for definite.

Going down the same route as Aldo,posting **** after pulling out of a huge card,

He will be ko'd stiff when he returns in the same fashion as Jose too

Is Normal.

He's got a point though. Not that I think Conor rejected the Cerrone or Pettis fights, but the Diaz fight is tailor made to keep the hype train rolling. He's out of shape, out of camp and not as good as Cerrone or Pettis. Dana knows exactly what he's doing.

To be fair its a lose lose situation for the ufc and mcgregor fighting either of the other lads its a step down from the belt, cant blame em taking the safer option after all mcgregor didnt have to take any fight

I'll be shocked if it wasn't Abdelaziz that actually tweeted that or at least typed it out for RDA.

Pettis is medically suspended and wouldn't be cleared to fight, it was a toss up between Cerrone and Diaz both wouldn't be making 155 either way.

McGregor will always take the fight and I respect that, but the UFC had the chance to put in 2 guys who would've made it a better fight, but instead they went for a guy who's out of shape and not as capable. They'll say it's for the fans but we all know why they picked Nate.

Fair enough if true, Cerrone vs Diaz is a no brainer though if you're looking for a better challenger, even though Nate beat him. Also think Cowboy could've made 160 or 165 at the very least.

Diaz will last longer than the choker cowboy anyways its not even a question Diaz was the fight to make,same way he had nobody to smash up but Siver,

Get the message they are all sacraficial lambs to the slaughter when they fight the goat,Remember the Aldo never been ko'd rubbish he was done in seconds.

Cerrone would have had a good shot at making weight, a catch weight would have certainly been doable like was offered to Nate, Diaz was clearly the one they wanted, Dana said it, McGregor said it, Diaz said it, even squeezed more money out of them and got the weight limit eased if Conor is to be believed Frankie also said it.

Diaz is certainly the smarter choice from the UFC/McGregor POV, its no shame to say that.

Lets just get one thing clear..the title of GOAT is and always will be reserved for Cathal Pendred..:pac:

I think Nate in shape could've been a competitive fight, he's got a great chin and his boxing isn't great but he lands a lot. Also got the BJJ threat. He's not in shape though, so I expect Conor to win without much bother. It'll be interesting to see how they do at 170 though.

Very true man,a legend going out on the top as champ after clearing out 170 and 185.

Davei141

Diaz with or without a fight camp is a much more interesting fight than Cerrone.
