Good Point... Respect!

[KillaMane26]

the way UFC fights are put together with the best always fighting the best....shouldnt be a big deal as far as losing and no point in dudes putting too much importance on undefeated records

It coulda had something to do with him loading up on all his shots and becoming panicked when he wasn't hurting diaz. He even said as much in the post fight presser...the only reference he made to the weight was that it may have helped diaz take the punishment. They're basically the same size. McGregor is a front runner who cuts heavily to make 145 so he can rely on overpowering his opponents.

Of course that had something to do with it, he admitted so. The main thing he said at the presser was that he misjudged his energy expenditure, which was clear in watching the fight. He was loading up looking for a spectacular KO and he gassed.

It's not just that everything was a power shot, he did it with an extra 25lbs of weight on his frame and he burned out much faster than usual. He will learn a valuable lesson from it.

He wouldn't have had 25lbs extra weight...he walks around near 180lbs. He cuts a lot of weight to make 145 and uses an iv to rehydrate. He's said before it's hard to make that weight, and now he's ready to tuck tail and run back down there. Not one word from him about a rematch. Front runner.

Because UFC is clearly doing something right...
Conor may talk crap but he fights the fights that fans want to see.

Don't talk rubbish.

He fights at 145, he's never been in a fight anywhere near that heavy and it showed. He gassed and learned an important lesson.

He has already stated he'll 'see Nate again' and that he'll give 170 another try. He's willing to take risks 25lbs above his fight weight while other fighters cry about 5lbs and less.

He walks at 173 lbs...

He put on muscle in this fight as opposed to rehydrating to 170 ish.

Muscles require more oxygen when you're punching a **** load.

Making 145 is very difficult for him, but I felt 155 would have been a good move.


Giving away 170 gives the opponent an advantage when they asked for 165...
