Anyone watching UFC 196 tonight? McGregor is a beast, moving up from 145 to 170, damn.

He's been ripping Diaz a new a-hole for weeks now, the dude's hilarious, best trash talker since Ali, imo.

 
I'm watching it. Would love to see Connor get smashed but don't think that happens tonight. He should beat Diaz, especially on a short camp.
 
Damn

Just upsets in UFC 196. Diaz and Tate. Ha!
 
All that trash talk and he got rocked lol

Diaz can take punches and hits harder than anyone mac has faced. I am not surprised he lost. Mcgregor found out he can't hang with the big boys. I thought it was "unsafe" for him to fight at 145 and he immediately moved back down.
I am also not surprised tate win, holm is very one dimensional. Rousey played right into her strengths. If they fight again i think rousey will kill holm if she has any coaches worth a damn.
 
All he did was punch himself out. Diaz can take punishment. His face was getting made into ******* hamburger and Conor gassed out. He needs to train longer at that weight and pace himself more with guys who can take a beating.

I dont think any amount of training will help. Conor is probably naturally around 170 pounds. When he cuts weight to get to 145 I would not be surprised if on fight day he is 165-170 pounds anyways. Unless he was fighting Diaz at 180-190 then I do not buy the gassing out excuse. Most 170 fighters are probably fighting at 190+ and they are naturally bigger / longer reach. Also I think his power can only transfer so far. Look at Pacquiao in boxing once he got to a certain point the knockouts stopped. Diaz was cut up, but the announcers said that he has so much scar tissue that he bleeds really easy. Plus Diaz did not seem to be rocked or in any trouble at all. Once he tagged Connor a couple times that was it. I think that 155 is Connor's max weight

huh? He gassed and his shots kept hitting diaz high around the eye not on the jaw. You don't have to buy anything but he gassed. You don't have to explain it. I'm not some novice fanboy..:) I'm fairly certain conor got ahead of himself. It made him a million. I'm guessing they'll fight again at some point. It will sell well. That's the bottom line.$
