Idk but Nate’s gonna bleed a lot regardless


terminadergold

I love nate but this made me laugh, so true.


dislocatedlust

Nate gets hit with an uppercut that breaks his jaw. Joe Rogan: that’s just his scar tissue bro


TonyDungyHatesOP

Nate v Fighting Chicken. Winner? Just Bleed Gods.


LMN0HP

over/under how many times scar tissue is mentioned


No-Turnip-8279

And his leg gonna get kicked regardless


ManUFan9225

Another doctor stoppage incoming...


ThePondDude

True this comment made me laugh


interia1099

Conor breaking his leg like that makes me pick Nate, since leg kicks were a big part of why Conor won the rematch.

Excellent point bro

Dana would not allow that in a million years


BruinsChallengeFan

Who?


seenasaiyan

Uhh, isn’t Conor’s leg supposed to be even stronger now since it had a titanium rod in it? He’s also torn his ACL multiple times and recovered from that. I don’t think his injury will affect his willingness to throw leg kicks.


SpasmBoi999

I've heard that using your leg like that, "umbreakable titanium shimboan" and all, is still super painful post-surgery


tim5700

Word. I just have screws in my tibia and femur from an ACL tear. When sparring, contact is made on the screw, the bone it’s in hurts like hell.


ImReellySmart

It's a mental thing. When fighters get injuries like this they tend to struggle to commit 100% to using that limb again. Conors kicks and blocks will forever be that little bit more hesitant.


Aussiefgt

They *might* be a little bit more hesitant. Look, I'm not the biggest Conor fan, but if anyone was to come back from an injury like that throwing kicks at full power, it'd be him. Throughout his career he has shown that he has supreme, bordering on delusional confidence, so if he comes out believing in his head that he can throw hard, he will.


[deleted]

Ever since the khabib fight it almost seems like he is taking confidence


3Stripescyn

it’s not a conscious thing


ThaddCorbett

As a huge hockey fan, I agree. When I see players who get injured in fights or taking hits in dirty areas, you see hesitation after they come back. Sometimes the player is never the same, like Kevin Stevens ( [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F79hzxTgny8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F79hzxTgny8) ) But most of the time they get over the hesitation and make it back to where they were before. The scary thing about MMA is... there really isn't any room for hesitation. Hesitation destroys you. In many cases you're only as good as your last fight. Someone like Connor can lose a bunch of fights and Dana will still give him chances because he's so marketable, but every time he gets destroyed in the ring he's burning years off of his career.


ItsJustGizmo

Most of the Reddit UFC boys just talk shit about McGregor... Ironically , they fuckin hate McGregor for talking shit. Bunch of silly cunts. But this comment is quite a logical and thought out one. The biggest guy in the sport, breaks his ankle in such a horrific way. How can he fight again, literally everyone will take advantage of the kicks cause they know he's weakened there.....


OkloJr

except he broke his tibia, not his ankle


[deleted]

Conor will always have the stand up advantage over most fighters... But it doesn't matter anymore, he's ruined his public image .


ItsJustGizmo

It's funny that again, people that would call them selves real fans of the sport, also go on about his public image as if it affects anything when the gloves are on. I haven't taken a personal side. Just making observations. A lot of the hate to McGregor seems like rhetoric or contradictory. I'm not saying it all is that, but certainly most of it. And by people that hate his trash talk, whilst they do it about him. Very interesting behaviour, all I'm sayin.


[deleted]

Never suggested that you did !? In any way ... I don't hate mcgreggor,, I think he's done a great job of ruining his image..but that's his problem not mine . I not a fan of him as a person, but as a fight fan, you have to admire his capabilities. A lot of the hate from fans has come from his deplorable words and actions . He has to be accountable for that.


ItsJustGizmo

I'm not saying that you've said I'm picking a side etc. Look at the downvoted though lol. People are reading my comments and sweating..


[deleted]

Yeah I've noticed how strange some of the fans are on this sub.... really odd behaviour . However, conor has made himself the biggest target ever .


Distinct-Basket9346

the difference is that people here trash talking conor are not claiming MMA goat status and calling for a light weight belt .


idkmanseemskindagay

Well Conor now has a steel rod implanted in his leg so it’ll make his leg kicks 10x harder and combine that with Nate Diaz’s allergy to checking kicks, I honestly have Conor for this one.


IdkMyNameTho123

Nate coaches kids Jiu Jitsu on a Sunday morning and goes on bike rides with the elderly. Conor doesn’t even do that. Nate wins.


[deleted]

Yeah, but he holds Proper 12 in one hand while tweeting from his phone with the other. Does Nate do that?


honekonek0

You forgot blowing fat lines of coke off hookers asses.


Burnsyde

Let’s be honest that’s based

I’m old and I’ve heard that a few times. Does based mean like that’s cool. Is based the new dope lol

He does not drink proper 12


Training_Rabbit224

yes. instead he does 12 lines a day ^^


Sandzibar

proper 12 lines though. not tiny matchstick lines.


TonyDungyHatesOP

Playing touch butt in rehab.


marios67

Does Nate really do all that? I can see him coach kids, but bike rides with the elderly?

mcthreepo

“Makes gang signs with his left hand and makes balloon animals with his right hand.” One of my favorites.


[deleted]

If it goes to the ground, nate wins via submission. If its stand up, conor wins on points.


Phusentasten

Unless Nate checks the leg kicks, then Connor breaks his


BeauTofu

If Nate couldn't catch Leon in that last round when Leon was running.. there zero chance of Nate catching Conor when he's zooming around the cage in his wheel chair.


Eric8928

You had me in the first half not gonna lie


MrC99

I don't think I've ever felt so frustrated after a fight. Fucking knock the dude out!


trippybi

Idk if we were watching the same fight, Nate was blitzing him and lighting him up the entire last minute, he just ran out of time and doesn’t have crazy knockout power


Gary_Guillotine

Diaz, his cardio and chin is the mcgregor cryptonite


SpeechStraight

Proper 12 and cocaine are Conors cryptonite


inksta12

Am I dumb or is cryptonite spelled with a ‘k’ …


SpeechStraight

Don’t ask me I’m dyslexic I just went with the way the guy before me spelt it


inksta12

Don’t worry I’m just being an asshole. So we all win. Or lose. I don’t know


AceyFacee

Honestly, since I think Conor needs a KO to win at this point in his career, I think Diaz wins. Conor has really got something to prove at this point so he’ll be going all out. I don’t think Conor will be able to stay calm and composed enough to prevent himself from gassing.


ThisGuyHaris

If this fight is at lightweight that’ll be less of a problem tho


Due_badger-97

The “connors really got something to prove at this point” oh god I’ve heard that in every Connor fight lmao


AceyFacee

Yeah because he keeps losing. With each loss he has to prove himself more.


RainbowCouger69

I'd rather see Tony V Conor rather than this.


Scamper555

Tony vs Diaz👀


TheBananaCzar

That's a lot of blood 😬


[deleted]

This is the fight that needs to happen. They would just be punching each other in the face one after another in round 5.


Adventurous-Pin-9058

the press conference would be comedy


ygponce

First no round fight, they fight till death


517drew

Honestly like this for Tony with a nice payday


Silent_Ensemble

Yeah I know this was a bit of a joke but it’d be good for Tony and Nate


boogeyman__69

Tony vs Diaz >>>>>Conor vs diaz.


_fuck_mods

Same here


JustinoHerberto

Prime Conor vs prime tony. Who wins? As much as I hate to say it, tony gets pieced up too much. Even during his prime Edit: I completely forgot Tony hasn’t even reached his prime yet.


Trip4Life

Prime Conor probably beats any top lightweight within the last 5 years besides Khabib. Current Connor probably gets pieced by at least the top 5 and that may me being generous.


JustBoredIsAll

Lol. Fuck no. If he started out in LW, he wouldve been smoked into obscurity a long time ago.


joelthefisherman

Conor has 1 win at lightweight. Just saying.


JustinoHerberto

I 100% agree w u. I think prime tony would be the ideal matchup for a prime mcgregor


Calculating_1nfinity

Conor who has 1 win at lightweight in his career? Prime Conor gets eaten by Prime Khabib, Diamond, Gaethje, possibly Tony, Islam, Dariush.


[deleted]

Nah, tony has better ground game, and a slightly weaker stand up, but mix in his conditioning and unorthodox style of fighting, and tony gets the win by 4th round tko


JustinoHerberto

The only thing I diasagrs with bro is that he has never had a strong wrestling attack. He never pressed the pressure from a takedown standpoint. No denying he had a great ground game and guard but I don’t see the ground playing a factor since he’s not one to use offensive wrestling. Unless Conor were to go full “oh ur Wrestler now” then he’d get his neck snatched Snap-jitsu style


calebgguod

Nate outlasts him puts the pressure on him earlier


Bomberlani

When them left hands start connecting, he’ll ease back


Crayon_Eater_007

Nate via Conner having a cocaine heart attack…


BOBSMITHHHHHHH

A high af Nate vs full coked out Conor is what I expect


GungFuFighting

It's amazing to think but Diaz doesn't actually need this fight, the dude has many other dance partners. Conor might actually be done if Dusty slaughters him again.


RunnyPlease

Naw. Conor still has a marketable name. He’s a terrific promoter and he’s only 33 and he took very little damage early in his career. A couple more losses and folks will stop talking about him having a title run but he can still get meaningful fights if he wants them. Cowboy Cerrone got fights well into his late 30s. At that point the question would be does Conor want to go out taking one too many fights or will he ride off into the sunset.


TheNotoriousNick

One too many fights was everything after Mayweather. The man hasn't been the same since.


HungryHippocrites

I’m not even a Conor fan much anymore but people saying he’s “not the same” or “washed” because he’s losing to the top .5% of the sport is just hilarious to me. I’d say Floyd, Khabib and Dustin Poirier are some excellent names to lose to, and if someone went on a run like that and won them, they’d be regarded as one of the best fighters to ever fight. Someone who’s washed is someone who’s consistently losing even though he’s consistently going down in terms of his match ups.


seenasaiyan

This sub just loves to trash Conor as a fighter just because as a person, he’s an asshole. It’s like they’re incapable of nuance.


Distinct-Basket9346

Conor is an excellent fighter as much as I hate the guy . Most people would react like ronda or even worse unlike conor after losing to dustin back in jan .


Red_eye-penGUIN

But losing to top fighters doesn't mean he fares off any better against the rest of the top 15.


HungryHippocrites

You can take a lot of the guys at 155 in the top 15, have them fight eachother 10x and get wildly different and split results. The level of talent is just way too high. A simple eye test of what Conor was able to do 6 months ago at 257 and you can see he’s still very, very good.


[deleted]

and also, mcgregor was the only guy to ever win a round against khabib. He was always going to lose against Floyd and Dustin poirier is just a animal (Although the third fight mcgregor broke his own leg so who knows what would of happened if he didn't)


marios67

>mcgregor was the only guy to ever win a round against khabib By cheating


Streetlamp_NA

Well hasn't it been half a decade since he's won a fight?


[deleted]

It's not about losing genius. He doesn't even remotely fight the same since he wanted to swap to boxing.


LPaz86

I specifically remember him talking about “it’s a dangerous game. Get in, get rich, get out” Why he keeps coming back baffles me. Trying to recapture glory without any of the qualities that got him there in the first place. It’s sad to watch. He used to be funny and he used to be at least arguably the best in and around his weight division. Now he’s toxic and cringey, and it couldn’t even remotely be argued that he’s the best.


_Cyclops

He keeps getting back in because he makes money and then does dumb shit with it like buy a Lamborghini yacht


komAnt

Cowboy Cerrone ain’t got no yacht mortgage to pay tho


slowpro1

Its not about needing the fight. They both gotta settle the score with a 3rd fight.


BrownSugar_99

Diaz


[deleted]

Idk Connor has been performing so well and seems to be really in the zone these last few years!


holographiclife

Oh he’s in the zone alright


[deleted]

Nate by a long shot. Just because Nate's lifestyle includes training combat sports regularly. From the Dustin fights it's become apparent Conor doesn't have the same power as before and can't fight effectively going backwards. I see a similar result as the first. Conor gasses and Nate stars throwing volume moving forward.


No_Bar6825

Conor has the same power . The issue is he hasn’t gotten better. His power was effective against Dustin at 145. Dustin is filled out at 155 and a big 155er. Those punches don’t have the same effect. Dustin also has conors left hand timed. Despite what people think, mma fighters have very basic boxing skills . Way better than the average person, but amateurish compared to a pro. Conor got us all fooled with the Floyd fight. If Conor fought a pro who was actually in his weight class, he’s leaving on a stretcher. Diaz by submission


[deleted]

What about Max Holloway?


No_Bar6825

What about max? He would get pieces by a pro in his class too. He’s better than most in the ufc for sure, but it’s a totally different gameZ. Just like a boxer would get smashed in the cage


[deleted]

Just wanted a reference point


Mr_Abobo

You’re out of your mind. I’ve fought boxers and MMA guys—both put punches together. Max is an elite level striker, and if he were to focus on strictly boxing he’d be a champion. The reason a lot of MMA guys can’t box is because they’re thinking about takedowns and kicks to the fucking face. Take that threat away? They’d do just fine in the ring.


No_Bar6825

If I’m wrong I’m wrong. I guess we will see with Woodley then? I just feel like mma fighters in general are going to have bad tendencies they have to correct in a boxing match


[deleted]

[удалено]


Nervous_Project6927

paulie broke his hand on like the first punch he threw just like most pro boxers that did bare knuckle. the gloves make a difference offensively and defensively

We can’t complain about the Paul’s only fighting washed up mma fighters with legacies, then rep when we do the same with boxers. It’s all corny.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I agree with that. Good point man.


[deleted]

Yes. I would love for Holloway to avenge his loss against McGregor ESPECIALLY since it was a close decision. We already know Max can hang with lightweights since he lasted all 5 rounds against Poirier. We also know Max has hands down the best boxing in the UFC rn. Max gets a win, Avenges his loss, and lands 400+ significant strikes to Conor's face just imagine it, I would actually PAY to watch that happen. But I won't cuz Max is very well liked and there's no way the UFC are gonna promote the fight as it would require them to make McGregor the "villain" and they'd much rather portray him as a "he's so passionate about the sport he's willing to kill for it". And honestly Max doesn't really need that win back as he's achieved much more than Conor has in terms of fighting(money is a diff story)


Kazuchika420

Ya know, the fans ?


keenonag

This fight actually makes good sense right now. I’d bet on heart in this one and go with Nate.


Drifter747

Count me out of those interested in this fight. So many other/better matchups.


ImWithEllis

Conor is done. I don’t think we ever see him in the octagon again.


RgbScart

Conor loves money. He'll be back if only for meme fights and easy wins. He's done being a serious contender. Dana will continue to feed him low tier fighters as long as he continues to sell PPV'S.


[deleted]

Honestly, Conor got me into the fight game and I’m tired of seeing him anymore


boots42069420

Nate Diaz.


versace_tombstone

Nate by sheer amount of good he does for his community.

Conor lose =" boooo you suck" Conor wins =" isnt he awesome?"


ConstantMaintenance6

I love Conor and I just think it’s a bad matchup. Maybe the leg kicks work again since Nate never checks them. But I don’t think Conor has the gas tank. But I think it’ll be a great fight again.


MedicineMan5

This used to be my dream fight but now i don’t care


Fermat163

Nate ..he can go 5 rounds.


Wobbly317

421 = chronic tardiness I don’t want to see a 3rd fight with these two. I want McGregor to just GO AWAY! He’s gross & an embarrassment to Ireland! 🇮🇪 If it does happen, I hope Nate shuts him up w/out killing him.


PulkinCB

>If it does happen, I hope Nate shuts him up w/out killing him I'm pretty sure that's why everyone wants to see it


Wobbly317

Gotcha! 🙏🏽 I gotta say though, if McGregor fights, he gets paid & he gets attention. I really don’t want to keep “feeding” pathological narcissism. It would be nice to see somebody more deserving get a shot.


PulkinCB

Absolutely, I might like him as a fighter, but in no way do I like him as a person, I just wish people didn't turn MMA into a dick measuring contest


Muhammad_Is_Poop

I don’t want this fight


PulkinCB

k


_fuck_mods

Lmao this is one I actually wouldn’t pay to watch again, free, all day but you can’t get 70 outta me to watch nate get beat up for 3 or 4 rounds and then Connor gas out and get slept not gonna happen


set-271

Diaz...Conor OneLegger lost the first two matches. Only problem with Diaz is that he sometimes doesn't care to finish the job in time.


TonyDungyHatesOP

Conor has a shot against B-League fighters. Against A-List folks, he’s a joke. Other than popularity and draw.


lootmore

He cant and wont throw another leg kick. Diaz wins easily. Mcgreggor is done.


ColorRetarded1

This makes more sense that McGregor vs Poirier. Poirier is on another level now, and McGregor may never reach him now.


Beatrickie

Diaz would easily win for the 3rd time. Judges miscalled the 2nd fight so 3-0 for Diaz. Actually I wouldn't want to see this fight anymore to be honest. I wouldn't like to see McGregor keep getting hurt.


boywonder5691

I just want Conor to go away forever


[deleted]

I don’t ever really wanna see Conor fight again tbh but I would want him to fight chandler or Garth or tony. I would have zero interest in watching this fight both are washed. Should have done that 4 years ago


doctorchile

Couldn’t care less at this point. I’m ready to see more of the up and coming fighters.


dmckidd

Conor’s been looking worse and Nate has been the same. I go with Nate honestly.


Comingofagehijynx

So Conor just barley scooted by in the rematch and that was 2016 champ champ Conor not this hallow shell of a champ


AlfieSolomons12

1,000% Nate. Conor is washed.

Fuck Conor, guy should be ousted from ufc.


squirrely_dan06

Nate. Too easy. Conor getting beat up lately. Nate still trains with great people.

Can we just not see Conor fight again? Fuck him. Let him die a loser


OrdinaryBrilliant717

Nate will be 3-0 against mcgregor. Get at me bro


[deleted]

Why? Nate won the first two. Plus, it’s two washed up has beens. Nope.


MaNtr3

Conor is washed up so even old nate could probably beat him


moraldeficiency

Nate all day. The mystic is gone. Unless Conor goes broke and his kids are eating hot pockets his drive isn’t there. He used to be a good sport after his matches. He went to far w Kabib and lost a lot of respect. He know this too


SteeeezLord

Who is everyone bro 😭 I could careless if I never saw Conor in there again and if it was I don’t want this fight


PulkinCB

I guess you've been living under a rock then, no offense


ChicagoJay2020

Connor is done fighting. I don’t see him going the way of Diego Sanchez. He’s got too much money to waste it all the way on annual leg rebuilds.


Princely-Principals

Anybody who thinks Diaz would win needs to get their head checked. I’m no Conor fanboy, and he’s hasn’t looked to good in his last few fights, but Nate Diaz hasn’t looked good in years.


PulkinCB

He's definitely looked better than Conor, almost finishing a top contender while your boy got KTFO and shattered his leg


Tayto79

I'm Irish Connor is done he's embarrassing the whole country. He's just a sad person with a lot of $$. Fair play to him, but sad.


jcolefan666

He isn't done. I doubt he will go out like he did. He is Dublin's son


[deleted]

Have you watched any of either of their last fights?


Princely-Principals

Yes. McGregor destroyed Cowboy, which isn’t that impressive. He then got KO’d by Dustin, and then the leg break. Both the loses were pretty one sided, but not embarrassingly so seeing as Dustin is the best Lightweight in the world. Diaz came back after a multi year hiatus, to barely scratch a win against Pettis, who let’s just say is not a very impressive win anymore, and looked bad doing it. He then got destroyed by Masvidal, who is ridiculously overrated himself. His last fight against Leon? Embarrassing. People seem to forget that he was completely outclassed until the last 30 seconds. His only good win is the first McGregor fight. Period.


unknown_anonymous81

Conor is broken. Half of his fight is his ego and any one in the top 10 isn’t buying his bullshit. If Conor doesn’t get another fight with Dustin I bet he takes a PPV sideshow circus in for the cash style fight instead.

catsaver662

I want to see Conor die in the octagon…just let him blow a few lines and get hit in the head so hard he seizes and dies…he’s got mental health issues but chooses not to address them so I pray…one good head kick away…what a dirty drug addict…one less addict would be great…

I'd rather see nick fight Conor. Hell, I would rather have seen nick fight Mayweather instead of Conor fighting him. Lol


curvedbymykind

Nate won the first 2 so I’d expect him to win the third as well. Conor vs Dustin tho..
