Connor has used every excuse as to why he lost. Both fighters had the same 9-10days to prepare for each other, plus connor had an entire camp to build.up his cardio. Imo he should not have gassed out after 5min.
Connor is already talking about a trilogy fight with diaz... Gotta win first. Makes we kinda skeptical a fix may be in order with promises of a bigger payday dowb the road for nate with a trilogy.
On a side not the rest of this card blows.
i am pretty excited to watch rumble fight, he is always very entertaining.
I lost respect for Conor after he lost and then kept making excuses about how he lost after all that shit talking... And now even more so after he said he was going to knock Nate out by round 2 and that he was going to charge in and pressure him and he's a fighter etc but then ends up running a from Nate several times in the last 3 rounds and buying time etc. Some real bitch shit.
never buy into that crap, all that he (Conor) is doing is maximising his PPV cut by saying and acting the way he does. Thats show business and thats what is lining his pockets
the fight was awesome, you could tell from round 1 that Conor was implementing a game plan. As the rounds wore on and fatigue set in you could see them coming closer together (danger for Conor) and it just made a greaat fight. Cant wait for the decider of the trilogy
I got mad respect for Diaz, he just kept on eating kicks and punches and came back for more
