GDT: UFC 196: McGregor vs. Diaz

[Spawn]

Will be interesting to see how McGregor deals with Diaz's size advantage. He's so used to fighting guys he's bigger and longer than.

Don't think this fight will be as easy as a lot are making it out to be. Him vs Lawler would be a hilarious mismatch in size. Diaz is too small for welterweight and looks noticeably bigger than McGregor. Just imagine how much bigger Lawler would look.

Money on Diaz

Money on Diaz

Real money or just a guess?

I doubt CMcG is going to put his rep and cache on the line if he isn't 100% sure he can dispose of Diaz. Dana probably agrees.

Diaz is in it for the payday. I don't think he believes he can beat Connor. This is a case of "take the money and run."

Edit: Watched an interview. $40K for his last fight. Diaz walks away with $500K for this one, win or lose. Cha-ching.

 

[Peasy]

Someone on r/mma put 1.5k on Diaz.

Conor wins tonight, and then beats Lawler at UFC 200.

 

[Avs_19]

Conor wins tonight, and then beats Lawler at UFC 200.

Yes and yes.

 

[darko]

Conor wins tonight, and then beats Lawler at UFC 200.

He won't beat Lawler.

Hard to believe Erick Silva is fighting Nordine Taleb tonight.

Hard to believe Erick Silva is fighting Nordine Taleb tonight.

I was so high on him early on. Just didn't develop the way I thought he might.

Maybe Rafael Cordeiro can build something with Silva now that he joined Kings MMA

Mcgregor/Diaz is such a mismatch, it's amazing how they sold this PPV.

Diaz will lose easily, look at his record. He is a glorified journeyman.

Wins over MJ and Cerrone are legit wins, no matter what

If Conor beats him easily, which I wouldn't rule out, I think that says more about him than it does Nate.

Seeing Diego Sanchez throw kicks makes me sad hahaha

I think (hope) he finishes Taleb quickly. Would be happy to see him get back on track. Such an entertaining style.

it's a fun style. just a style that can't work at the highest level. Finish in the first round or Lose style won't beat top 10 guys

Rogan calling Sanchez a contender made me cringe

Diego carrying a little extra weight.

"Hasn't lost a step." Haha.

"Hasn't lost a step." Haha.

You gotta admit though, his fights are usually good. He never holds back.

 

[darko]

Hopefully Edgar convinces Conor to fight. Would love to see those 2 go toe to toe.

Yeah, his fights can be entertaining. He's usually the one getting beat up though.

Well, his fights were good until The legendary Melendez fight. Nowadays, his fights are pretty terrible. mostly because he's lost most of his abilities to deliver offense
