UFC 196: McGregor vs. Diaz - Page 3

So there was a crazy staredown where Conor punched Diaz hand as hard as he could with a closed fist, with his left hand. Diaz is seen shortly after clearly rubbing and favoring his hand.

I would not be the least bit surprised if he broke Nates hand, that punch was hard as fuck.

Yeah lol I saw that... it was a totally a punch with intentions to hurt him, pretty shitty but its also pretty shitty to put your fist in somebodys face like that

I mean Nate didn't touch him with his fist, he put it about an inch away and Conor moved into it. People putting their fist in the other guys face happens in like 50% of staredowns, though not so intensely lol.

Im excited for Holm and Conor fights. Conor hasnt fought anyone in years (if ever... Lol) with a reach advantage on him, and nate looks like a good boxer. From a noob perspective Conor cant win without plenty of spinning back kicks and front body kicks to keep Nate off balance. It should be a lot harder for Conor to win than people think, 2 inches shorter and 2 inches less reach

Of course he's gonna rub his hand after Conor punching it. It's a nature response, akin to stubbing your toe.

Doubt his hand is broken. Nate would fight through it anyway.

Well theres no muscle or anything on the top of your hand, and Conors left hand is deadly as fuck, and it was bare knuckle. So yea...

That said I believe Nate said his hand is alright so we gucci.

don't talk about money your broke
i can always switch it
you can go back to the 20 (thousand to show) and 20 (thousand to win)
all i want is a thank you

dance for me nate
dance for me

and don't look me in the eyes when you dance

James Joyce is Conor's great great uncle

Conor McGregor is gonna send Nate Diaz home empty handed and feeling sad inside like the nameless boy in "Araby."

no matter what happens still gonna be best payday for Diaz :D

how much money does Connor make damn, just look at the cars alone

Nate looks bigger than I thought during the face off. I have a feeling Nate will be able to withstand the first round because of the weight and he is a lot longer.

I'm gonna go all in on o1.5 rounds.

He probably gets $3 - $4 per pay per view buys, diaz maybe will get $1 - $1.50. I think this is how it works if you're the main event

Where did you get those figures from? I'm pretty sure those numbers wrong, especially for someone like Nate.

On a similar note, Mighty Mouse doesn't really get PPV numbers because he has to get a certain amount of people to buy the PPV before he starts earning any profit. Like, if his PPV only sells 250,000 units, he won't get any portion of the PPV buys. There's a certain name for this clause, which has been mentioned many times by Brendan Schaub, Joe Rogan, and Chael Sonnen, respectively.

Just a guess I thought it probably worked like boxing main events

Conor mentioned Nate's leg again in this video. I'm not sure if he's referring to Nate being susceptible to leg kicks, or if there's some leg injury that Nate has as he's going into this fight. Conor first mentioned Nate's leg in the pre-fight press conference.

if you put the fist at 1cm at the face you are forcing a reaction, theres a difference between coming close and just putting it in his face I think both did wrong

Hard to say, its like a 50/50. Nate might win. Or McGregor might win.
Taking both by submission seems pretty good.

PR from what I've spoken with local fighters here, people usually get injuries which wont heal fully and it will be their weakness for their entire career afterwards, usually everyone in the sport knows what it is. I'm guessing this is the current state with Diaz's leg, he s been around for long, no wonder if he has a weak leg and people are aware of it. Don't think that matters though, would only explain his lack of confidence in improving his kicking

Those cars are rentals. He's only in LA/Vegas for a couple weeks.He's probably made like 4-7 mill in his last two fights. This fight will probably be similar.

Conor made like 5M for the Aldo fight, and Jose made 1M. (don't remember where i read it)
