That's a great line. I'm throwing a unit on Diaz +120. Not going to jam it or go large even though everything points to a Diaz victory again, they could easily get sloppy early and whoever lands the cleanest could put the other one out, and I don't trust the UFC even though they've announced Conor is going back to 145 (155 seems more logical), a trilogy can't be ruled out...
good luck and enjoy. Hope I make it home in time to see it. I'd rather see the fights that happen afterwards with the unruly Irish fans though. Lol

Not trying to imply there is, but a trilogy would be beneficial, nonetheless. This fight's victor is whoever survives the initial onslaught or controls the ground game if one tires. Conor may land a KO punch to win, but if he doesn't, I think Diaz is game enough to take a beating and wins any ground war that could happen. Conor's wrestling is atrocious and that's the only way to control a world class jitz black belt.
Everyone enjoy the fight. I'm excited for the Magny vs Larkin matchup, but I'll have to see the replay.
I agree too. Only brought it up bc of the trilogy factor. I've yet to see a UFC fight I thought was rigged, however, I've seen some ex UFC fighters in rigged events, no doubt!
if conor's ego wasn't so big this would be the best path to victory. Don't put everything in to a KO attempt - just use leg kicks, jabs, superior footwork and speed to win 3 of 5 from the outside. Play the Dom Cruz game. But it's hard to rely on that. And with the water bottle incident, the fact he's lost to him before, and Diaz's mouth inside the cage, it makes it even tougher.
For him to take that fight at 170 wasn't just dumb...but it might of been apart of the rigging. Because no logical fighter would fight a non title match in that quick of time at 170 when you were about to fight at 155. Everyone talking about Diaz had no camp and whooped mcregors ass. Mcgregor was preparing/training for someone else at a different weight. He had to put on 15 pounds in 4-5 days or whatever. That's a losing recipe after spending a few months training for 155 imo.
Oh no doubt. But it's still not smart if he cares only about winning. If he cares only about money, the more winning the better the endorsements and commercials. So whether or not he takes it his name wont be as big if he keeps losing. And that comes back to accepting a fight where someone is waiting for you at their normal weight.
