Diaz is much bigger and longer the Connor, which is something he's not use too. And he's more versatile with his BJJ then RDA. I favor Connor still but that matchup will give him problems.
He woudlnt get him down and he woudlnt give him problems on the feet

He'd only last a few minutes

I'd put the house on it

Reverse psychology breh. Dana knows this is the fight to make. I wouldnt mind seein conor vs ferg, diaz, or pettis.

The UFC has other options (Cerrone, Pettis, Khabib, Ferguson, etc) who are more than willing to step up. They can easily tell Nate to :camby:

So............ can we get McGregor vs Mendes 2? Even if its a rematch, at least it kinda has history and doesn't put McGregor at risk. A good test to see if Connor's TDD/ground game has improved.

Unless he loses.

Here's a name that I haven't seen yet, Connor vs Faber?

Faber is a name that can salvage ppv ratings, it's a good fight to see from the styles makes fight stand point. Only problem I can see is weight.

you do know the real reason Connor has moved to 155 is because of the IV ban right? The hell are you mentioning Faber for :dahell:


Ps I just heard Connor is to grace the cover of SI, with this news and rumours he's going to be in XxX has UFC entered a new phase of popularity with Ronda and him or is this the same old ugly story? cuz Jones and Anderson were on top for more than a minute and I don't recall 1 major movie or crossover media being offered ever

That is nates way of saying he wants the fight. Dana white knows this. You do know the only reason he said that was because of this



You really think this breh is gonna try to jeapordize his shot at conor.


Hes probably on the phone with dana as we speak. He really opend up the interview with "fukk that" completely disregarding rogans question


:pachaha:

Bout will be fun just for the pre fight trash talk the actually fight isn't actually as exciting as you would think (if you are a Connor fan of course) I might be in the minority but I actually wouldn't be mad if they held off on making some bandaid fight and just re-booked the RDA fight another day. This kind Jimmy fix it booking is short sighted

If they didn't have the overseas travel element in play they likely would have ate the bout
