UFC 196: McGregor vs. Diaz - Page 9

Conor was doing so well but yeah seemed he gassed after a round lol. He will realize this is why fighters cherry pick opponents, his mext PPV numbers probably gets a 30% decrease just for losing to a gatekeeper 155 guy.

Called it, Connor fought like an imbecile trying to fight at that pace against a granite chinned cardio machine.

He should have punished the legs like everyone else and taken the free win.

I'm so sad that Conor lost... If he won like most people expected, I would've tied with three other people for 4th place. 4th place paid $1500 >.<

I just can't seem to catch a fucking break when it comes to cashing big on UFC pay-per-view events on DraftKings... ...so much fuckery always happens.

Edit: Investment = $82; Profit = $66.98

Edit #2: To be clear, I would've won $1500 from just 1 team, not counting the other teams I had with Conor. FML

Very happy with this outcome.

I am happy for Miesha but sad for Holm. A little sad that Conor lost because he definitely was/is something incredible for the UFC.

He's a karate guy, not a muay thai guy. I don't think I've ever seen him land a leg kick before tonight. Don't think he was gonna change all that. Trying to change his entire style and go from a pressure fighter who uses his reach to make guys over commit and then counter, to an outside leg kicker who used a ton of lateral movement would of probably got him boxed up worse.

leg kicking Nate without getting countered isn't something you can do on the fly with 11 days notice when that's not even in your toolbox.

Just got back home, WOW, amazing, lost a shit load on main event, but completely content with the results. Guy needed a piece of the humble pie, he is too small for welterweight, he definitely has the skills to beat most of the fighters but he has terrible stand up defense himself. Against anyone that can take a punch like Nate, and get into the later rounds, Connor can't win

I figured he would be able to leg kick since he is very coordinated with his kicks but yeah you are absolutely right

Thats good for the sport. ( McGregor losing )
He ll be tryharding for some time now to regain alpha status

Was contemplating a smallish bet on Diaz, too bad i didn't put it

where the fuck is the postfight stream

Such a good fight and so happy with the result that I forgot for a good 10-15 minutes afterwards that I had lost both my over bets.

Hope people don't shit on Conor. Guy had the leverage to be able to pick basically anyone as his opponent and still make good money but chooses to challenge himself always. MMA needs more Conor's in that sense because heading the other way would lead to the mess that is boxing most of the time these days. Still has an exciting style. And even after tonight, can't see more than a handful of 155 lber's and under who can withstand that early round barrage of his.

Good for Miesha. Long time coming for her. Going to be funny though when Ronda now suddenly appears and armbars Miesha again only for Holm to come back in and head kick Ronda again to land back at square 1.

Mcgregor probably will defend his featherweight belt for his next fight

i wanted to him win and keep fighting diff classes. so maybe more people will try to do it in the future. But now hes just gonna go get bitchslappedby frankie lol

what are you talking about man, this is terrible for MMA, McGregor was getting a looooot of new fans in, he was aiming to break paradigms and be a multi-weight class champ etc, him losing in a meaningless fight is horrible.

Also Tate winning is awful, Ronda vs Holly now is a meaningless fight

Im not so sure, he had really difficult cuts in the past and now he has gained weight and just lost, It wouldnt surprise me if he decides to vacate featherweight and take another fight in LW with somebody like Pettis

Brendan Schaub said that was the worst matchup ever for Lawler.

Not true?

Its a bad matchup for Lawler, he is a durable low-volume counter striker, that being said Lawler is 2 weight classes above and hits hard, so its likely he KOs McGregor cold when he starts to fade out

Diaz is a fucking warrior.


I support Conor but when he took some shots and looked out of it, something in me wanted him to lose, I guess it's because all the heart that Nate showed and him being the undergod.


Amazing card.
