Thereās one or two alright. A chap in work is absolutely seething about the defeat. Heās been outstanding value this morning.
@HBV has more posts in this thread than anyone else, I think you have a deep down love in for McGregor mate perhaps you can relate to him from the acne riddled early days of his career,itās cute you should try posting a pic of yourself to him and get that retweet you so desperately seem to crave off him!
Have they cuntish beards with equally stupid haircut with the sides shaven tight?
but he had never been mentioned on this forum, where some of the biggest āufc fansā in ireland @Watchyourtoes @Watch_The_Break etc etc diuscuss the finer points of the āgameā.
the likes of @ChocolateMice had never heard of him till 11 days ago and then all of a sudden he was serenading all the lads with āanalysisā of how āNateā was a tough bastard but āconorā would knock him out in two rounds
Nate Dogg regulated McGregor on Saturday night
Weed beats speed
Weed beats power
Weed beats precision
Weed beats timing
Nate Diaz.
You need to qualify these blanket statements.
Did some Irish lad not beat him a few years back Kev ?
A sponsored post as well no less. No doubt had set aside a large budget for all the ābanterā videos they expected to see coming in from Vegas this week.
Writing on an article on it, you can find in appropriate area tonight/tomorrow.
But in a nutshell
- rushed fight (money thrown at him, greed)
- failed to respect the weight (arrogance)
- failed to respect his opponent (arrogance)
- was under conditioned (arrogance)
- between the team they completely missed the science of adding weight to a fight class sport (arrogance & stupidity)
- he believed the 1% fluff that Portal brought and forgot the fundamentals of physical preperation (just silly)
Not in UFC
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
McGregors slap to Diazs hand at the presser and subsequently Diaz getting a large flinch out of McGregor at the weigh ins even though he was miles away from him showed mental weakness from Mcgregor, for the first time an opponent wasnāt fazed by McGregors barrage of mouthing and mind games (not enough time to do so maybe!)āI DONāT GIVE A FUCK!ā āwe are gonna fight thatās itā was all Diaz was really getting involved in and it seemed to panic McGregor into pushing an early pace at a weight that was alien to him.Only one winner once Diaz hit him with the Stockton slap.

GSP talks about the challenge of fighting heavier in the second half of this video
The panic in his eyes when Diaz rocked himā¦ I think there was a minute left, he should have just stepped off and tried to kill the minute as best possible but in a moment of sheer panic jumped to the groundā¦ Thatās bad coaching/ game management from all concernedā¦ He will have learned a massive lesson in all this tho, and he pretty much had it all analyzied by the time of his immediate post fight interview. Himself and Edgar seems like the logical fight next - If he wins that he can think about stepping up a weight again.
The Stockton Slap.
