For those who missed it. It was awesome.
One of the best fights I've seen in a while.
McGregor threw the kitchen sink at Diaz and couldn't drop him.
-
Diaz is a true veteran, waited out the storm, and beat that ass.and props to meisha tate the new women champion.rousey vs Tate 3.??
-
easy come easy go
-
Very good fight Diaz brothers always come to fight! Conor is just young in the fight game and punched him self out in the first round....& the dude needs some good Jitz at least learn some defense. Having said that if you think thats it for this kat hahahah dude is a wrecking ball and has only gotten started!
Congrats to Tate !! guess we will be seeing Rousey soon hahah!

Didn't catch the fight, but saw the highlights.
McGregor also gave a very humble post fight interview. I was very impressed. He hypes up the fights and talks trash, but he seems like a respectful guy. Made me more of a fan.

Conner is back to being a jackass already Lol. Humble pie don't seem to be his flavor.

Same thing as Chael Sonnen. All an act to hype up fights. Sonnen impressed me when he was coach on TUF. Could tell he was a cool guy and really cared about his fighters. Then he talks all sorts of smack for the fight. Almost like WWE! Haha
I saw him calling Aldo and another fighter pussies. I think it's still all an act.
-
big guy who can cut weight good n beat up smaller guys. not impressed. same with jones

You guys are comedy!! Conor just answering back to some shit talking Aldo was doing the night he lost thats all! Ya they do talk shit but it pumps up the pay per view #'s! Its about dat $$$$. Its why he made north of 8 mil for the Aldo fight and its been said he will pull in about 10 mil for the Diaz fight with his 1 mil purse and pay pe rview payout!! It ain't boxing kind money but compared to past UFC & payouts he's breaking the bank! & i am sure Diaz don't mind all that shit talking since now he's ballin! Hell most fighters make under 100,000.
You say a clown cause he runs his mouth i say smart business man!! LMAO!! :geekdanc:
-
I'm wondering if Conor is still going to run his mouth about fighting Mayweather.

Just checked the payouts and didn't realize they were making that much these days! McGregor $1 Mil and Holm $500k for the fight alone and they didn't even win. Yeah, guaranteed purse for the fight, but I recall once upon a time I thought a title event payout was in the $100-200k range and that was with the win bonus (double the guarantee purse). I want to say that when GSP fought BJPenn a while back that it was big news that the payout broke $300k, but that was a while ago and fuzzy memory. Haha.
Try looking at the purses for the prelims and other events. The purses are tiny and some of those guys, even if they win and get a total purse of day $50-100k, I have to believe that the fighter ends up with a small fraction of that. On top of that, the fighter can get a medical suspension and not be allowed to fight for months. I'm not saying that I feel bad for them, but sort of puts things in perspective of the range of stuff the fighters have to go through.
A college classmate runs a website that covers boxing, MMA and other similar events and you get a real feel for the highs and lows of the "fight game".

Of course! :D
I would think it would be entertaining to let both put their money where their mouths are. . .

Mayweather would smoke Conor in a boxing match.

I was thinking at least allow some kicking and dirty boxing. Allow them to pin each other on the cage and go to work. Would limit Mayweather's running boxing style. I am a boxing fan and appreciate Mayweather's skill, but I'd rather watch people like GGG and Kovalev. I really enjoy watching Terrance Crawford. He's a good blend of technical boxing and willing to get in there and bang.

From what I understand of the Conor shit talking was he was saying he'd kill Mayweather in a boxing match. When you're talking kick boxing or thai it's really interesting to see if Conor could grab Floyd.........but I'd still go with Floyd to smoke Conor.

You mean like how he smoked Pacquiao with his duck, duck, goose skills? :crazy
Lets recap that fight:

Same weight Mayweather would destroy Conor in a boxing match and GGG is garbage he fights all bums. McGregor lost which is what I expected against a bigger opponent who can take pun he's and has a ground game. As far as tate she's all heart down 3-1 and does what she's has to to win.

GGG against Mayweather would look just like Q's video.

Gayweather may beat McGregor in a boxing match, but this wouldn't be a boxing match.
That's like saying a Thai boxer will beat a wrestler in a Thai boxing match; of course he would win. But put them in an mma fight and the odds shift dramatically.

Sure, but the point is Conor is talking crap on Mayweather not the other way around (at least not for now).

Yeah, I sort of recall that. Gotta love McGregor's fighting spirit! ;D
I would still like to watch a McGregor and Mayweather boxing match, if just to see what happens after all the trash talk.

GGG is garbage and fights all bums? :wacko:
Well, he knocks out said bums and most of us wouldn't stand much of a chance stepping into the ring with the bums that he's knocked out, let alone GGG himself. At that level, anyone can land a big shot and hurt and even knock out a heavy favorite, especially with 10 oz gloves. It's not like GGG runs away like Mayweather either.
GGG vs Canelo would've been a good matchup to see what GGG can do against a tough, talented and skilled opponent, but that doesn't seem like it will happen.
