I don't see Conor losing this fight, the gamble is minimal.

diaz doesnt have the power to scare conor and if he can somehow get conor down hes probably not strong enough to keep him down

if im diaz

i would fight at distance or grapple with conor

he cant allow himself to get hit with those spinning kicks and of course the usual middle fingers should be part of the game plan as well

 

[LinusCaldwell]

If that Conor poster is the real deal they really playing the belt for Holly isn't she supposed to be the last fight on the card since it's for a title?

 

[FaTaL]

rumor is the fight is at 170 pounds for conor and diaz

 

[The G.O.D II]

Connor should have at least had Diaz cut some weight. Even if it was catchweight. I like Diaz chances a lot here

 

[The Infamous]

Dana being mis-leading again.

 

[Ralph Wiggum]

People overrating the shyt out of Nate

He hasn't been the same since benson took his soul....but im in for the fukkery coming the next week and a half

Edit: I also think he's very capable of beating conor at WW

 

[LinusCaldwell]

Yes Conor said let him comfortable at 170. I hope Nate been training

Oh yea POS Rogan at it again.

Dada 5000's family 'appalled' at Rogan's 'overtly racist' comments

Really can't wait until the day Stann replaces him

 

[Screwface Exchange]

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


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

How can u promote Bones Jones in movies and signing autographs for kids with his multiple run jus with the law and drug use?

Anderson wldve gotten movie and TV roles here if his English were better. That's the problem with Brazilian Champs for ufc the promoting and casual fan marketing push only goes so far.

Loom at that cerro ne fight last wk 20 secs into da fight the fans are chanting USA USA, ain't no Brazilian gettin major movie deals man. Sad but truth cous they deserve it.

It's a Fight Pass card, it should be.

Zuffa have a tv deal with a channel called BT sports so there might be some knuckle dragging. I recall when I got it around ufc 171 and the 2 most profitable events 168/170 (with its biggest stars Silva and rousey) were unavailable, yeah these were ppvs not specifically FP cards but the principal is the same

 

[jackswstd]

If this muthafukker can make 170 what the fukk is he doing at FW? If memory serves me correctly Nate has only been finished by strikes once, I wouldn't count him out so easily.

The TV deals are for PPVs/FS1/FOX cards. This is strictly a Fight Pass card, I don't see why it wouldn't be available right away.

 

[Propaganda]

shyt, that's crazy. dude doesn't really need to take any fight since rda's injury, let alone a kind of pointless one (for him) 2 weight classes up. gotta give conor props for that i guess.

weird fight, but i'm definitely down for the fukkery.
