How the hell did Nate win round 2 if he got knocked down twice...?

he didn't. only the Diaz stans thought he won round 2

 

[droseph]

I'm a Diaz fan, but I gotta be objective. Conor beat him fair and square. Only reason that second round wasn't a 10-8 was cause Nate closed out strong. Got a better chance of convincing people Nate won round 4..

I saw two KD's in the entire fight but one was in the 1st Rd and the other in the 2nd Rd? Or maybe I missed the other one in Rd 2 it because my link was lagging.

One in the first, two in the second.

 

[blackcease]

Nate closed out Round 2 real strong even with the McGregor knockdowns earlier in the round. Conor gassed and looked like he was on his way out at the end of that round. I could see it being scored either way but I thought Nate's rally was enough to steal it.

Also I can't remember if it was the third or the 4th but I think it was the 3rd, that was damn near a 10-8. Conor had nothing for Nate that round. But again, up for discussion.

Then 1st and 2nd have to go to McGregor. 3rd is the round Diaz won the most decisively. 4th and 5th were swing rounds.

 

[bronconation24]

Diaz should have won based off round 3 alone. Semi srs. But god damn mcgregor was digesting blows

 

[freakydestroyer]

Anyhow, there is no way Conor will be willing to fight Diaz at 170 again.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Nate and all his excuses. Lmao: pathetic

he already said he won't. and why should he? fought him twice at 170. if he wants to go down, he should

 

[DeadsetAce]

Nate and all his excuses. Lmao: pathetic

what did nate say? i haven't heard any of Nate's post fight interviews/pressers

 

[droseph]

Nate had Conor in a clinch most of the third round and Conor stuffed all of Nate's takedowns. Wasn't like Conor stood there either, he was landing his own. I don't see it as a 10-8. If that was a 10-8, no way in hell did Nate steal round 2.

Nate said he hurt his knee a month ago so he couldn't train any jiu jitsu, then he said he hurt his rib 2 weeks ago while sparring.

ah gotcha. thanks

 

[tiger energy]

I hate Mcgregor to the core but even I had that 2-3 at best for Nate. Even from the start I can see Conor is in better condition than the 1st match. Nate should have finished Conor when he had the chance (cue in Mcgregor's quote), or pushed for more action in the later rounds because he was not getting the decision. He didn't do enough, plain and simple.

The resurgence of Conor's nuthuggers in my newsfeed is annoying though.

 

[droseph]

I don't know what's worse though, the Conor stans, or the Nate stans that became fans only after he beat Conor.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Conor threw us all for a loop with his antics. Everyone thought Nate was in his head

Conor fought a calculated fight, the exact opposite their first fight

 

[T0INE]

Didn't watch 202 but heard it McGregor/Diaz II was a very good fight.

Props to McGregor for getting the decision and I see that his fans are byke on NT.

Gonna catch a replay.

Nate making excuses.

 

[g money 87]

Had it 3-2 Diaz and the second was close. Donor def stunned Diaz by dropping him a few times but Diaz hurt him more IMO.

Will rewatch and assess cuz it was too chaotic live

Side notes
Aj becomes next lhw champ
Cody don't touch Cruz
Cowboy looking like a beast, I thought story would give him trouble

 

[freakydestroyer]

I feel as though people are giving Diaz credit for McGregor tiring rather than the damage he actually imposed.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Overall I thought Diaz won but either way close fight

Cody and Cruz needs to be made

Conor said he has options and that "this sport might not be one of them". Smh he probably goes to the wwe watch

That and because he was talking, point, putting his arms out, etc.

[sofa king awsm]

[EddieDoyers]
