Wow @ Lawler getting beaten. It was pretty comprehensive so I wonder if he will get an immediate rematch?

I had Diaz winning that fight 3 rounds to 2... UFC-influenced decision and Im a Conor fan.

I thought the same when watching it - but all three judges plus most mma sites (bloody elbow etc) scored it rd 2 for mcgregor in play by play. Connor got a knock down in that rd - but winning rd 4 got him the fight.

Mcgregor should definitely stay to the light weights hes not a welterweight.

Rubbish... I like the majority of people had Connor winning 1, 2 & 4.

Round 2 is the key round... Because Nate really poured it on and had Conor in REAL trouble at the end of the round...

But Connor dropped him twice in that round... unfortunately for Diaz there's just no way to get back a round when you've been knocked down twice... Other than finishing Conor... Which he came pretty bloody close to... But he didn't.

If they scored that for Diaz it would have been the first time I think probably in MMA and even Boxing for that matter that a dude won a round after getting knocked down twice earlier in that round...

It just won't happen...

Yeah my streaming was playing up so didnt realise connor got two in that rd. Diaz wasnt as active as he usually is but that might have been because of mcgregors leg kicks.

Like to see them fight again but would like to see mcgregor drop doen and defend the belt.

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Is it time to move on from the Diaz Conor story or are we actually going to have a trilogy?

Time to move on IMO.

Correct decision in the fight FWIW.. Could have only been a McGregor win or a draw

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Oh and f**k how scary is Rumble?

 

[BuderusIsaBeast]

Great fight but I really hop we don't see a third anytime soon. I want to see Mcgregor defend his belt against Aldo. The fact McGregor has strolled so much with Diaz suggests to me he should stick with featherweight and only move to lightweight when he can't make the cut anymore

 

[Jono078]

Man talk about a fight living up to the hype!

I know it's 1-1 between Diaz and McGregor but honestly I don't want to see the trilogy any time soon. I'd rather McGregor start going after that 155 title. I think he's done at 145 - it's a super tough cut for him.

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Some good potential and confirmed title fights coming up soon. Every division seems to be invigorated except the Heavyweight division

Rumble Vs Cormier
McGregor vs Alvarez
Aldo vs #1 contender for the undisputed FW title
Woodley vs Wonderboy/Lawler
Bisping vs Hendo

This CM Punk is an absolute lunatic. He has never had a fight in his life of any sort yet is going up against a guy who can throw a few punches. Surely, it will not end well for CM Punk.

 

[Pugzley]

It's Clobbering Time!!!!!!

 

[Pugzley]

Of course he has to come out to Cult of Personality.

 

[Pugzley]

Damn!

Respect to Punk though for hanging in there for 30 or so seconds.

 

[lafai]

Punk got squashed lol

 

[Lyoto]

Overeem needs to retire; guy has been KO'd 13 times. Can only imagine how many concussions he's received during training as well.

 

[shiznit]

Is there a bigger douche in all of combat sports than Edmond??

Seriously... I wish they would let Werdum take him to the ground a f**king strangle him!!

 

[Fufu Andronez]

that was odd by Overeem. Haven't seen a heavyweight run like that before.

Also Stipe is a beast!
