Stranger Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 Anyone watching tonight? I expect McGregor to win, but don't sleep on Diaz. His submission skills might be Conor's Achilles Heel. I expect Holm and Tate to be a closer fight than Holm and Rousey were, but Holm ultimately comes out the victor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliTitan3518 Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 Mcgregor is going to knock Diaz out. If Diaz can get it to the ground he has a chance. Diaz isnt an elite wrestler though so IDK how he will get him down. Mcgregor is faster, stronger, a better striker and in much better shape. If it goes more than 2 rounds I expect Diaz to be gassed. Holm should win. Tate wont try to stand with her so I expect a lot of takedown attempts. Holm works with a lot of wrestlers so she has improved her takedown defense.

helimachoptor Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 Also expect Conor to win, but i think this should be a good stand up battle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 I'm looking forward to this one, but I really, really want it to be April 23rd right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Beastin 25/8 is seriously the worst fighter nickname I've ever heard in my life. Jesus Christ who the fuck let him pick that without pulling him aside and telling him no. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stranger Posted March 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Damn! Tate put Holm to sleep. Too bad she lose the belt to Rousey. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Miesha clearly the more well rounded fighter. But yeah, Rhonda will probably beat her again. Ready for this fight. I fucking hate both Diaz brothers, so I hope he goes down. A little worried about the weight jump for Conor, but we'll see. Everyone's body handles that type of thing differently, maybe it's no issue at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rab Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Straight up got out boxed. My stream went to complete shit for most of the first round so I missed nearly all of it, but saw all of rd 2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stranger Posted March 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Conor is still the biggest star in mma even after this loss. He has some incredible striking ability that is on par with prime Silva. He has a solid chin but not an iron one. IIRC I think Mendes rocked him too. I think if he shores up his boxing defense and improves his ground game he'd be damn near unbeatable. Despite the loss, I'd actually rather see him fight at 170. He looked in great shape. This will likely be the biggest win of Nate's career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliTitan3518 Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Mcgregor was too cocky in there. He reminded me of Anderson Silva when he thought he was the shit. Had his hands down the whole 2nd round. Diaz is a tough dude. Gotta give it to him for taking the fight on 11 days notice. Mcgregor didnt look comfortable at that weight. He didnt look fluid. They gotta give Diaz a title shot at 155 against RDA. Holm needs to work on her ground game bad. She has good takedown defense but when she gets taken down it exposes her. Miesha is a very well rounded fighter. Too bad Rousey is going to beat her again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stranger Posted March 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Rematch at UFC 200. UFC best hope that McGregor wins the rematch otherwise they risk damaging his brand even further. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
