I don't see the point of this one, is McGregor fighting today just to prove he can win in that division. Diaz is doing it for the money for sure.

Anthony Johnson and Glover Teixeira will put on a show too I reckon.

We're having Beers, Fine wine and cheese and my place if anyone wants to watch it :)

Going to be a good fight for sure, both are very tough.

If McGregor can keep it up off the mat he's got a chance, Diaz is a great standup though and he's got the reach, he'll need a little luck to win since he's giving up about 20 lbs of muscle.

Going to be good.:thumbsup

Both of them are all over Facebook trash talking. Prefight appearances ended with thrown water bottles and trash talking. Should be a good one!

Cowboy looked sharp...
Think he's found a home @170.

As much as I hate Diaz, the more he gets hit/hurt, the more he moves forward.

Mcgregors not so cocky now.
Some of Diaz's punches have come straight out of the pub.

Diaz only had the 3rd round! He could not capitalize 4 and the were close but conner had him in points. I thought it was over in the first 2 but in Diaz fashion he came back. There needs to be a 3. In the end I thought Diaz was just fighting for the paycheck most of the fight

Points? You should lose all points when you turn your back and run away [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]connor could not capitslize. Knocked him down and had him hurt a couple of times. Nate couldn't even see w all that blood pouring down his face. Connor can not finish him.

I don't think Diaz heard the entire challenge when he agreed to fight one more time, Diaz at 145 is going to get smashed.

He's a 190lb fighter who fights at 170, McGregor weighed in at 168 to come up, he did not get any bigger.

McGregor won that fight in 4 rounds. Sure it was not pretty, and yea he had to use some no so fun to watch strategies, but sometimes you can only win by not playing the other guys game.

I was impressed that he stayed off the mat, for sure his biggest key to the win. That and he's a better striker.

Probably one of the best fights I've seen I a while. Diaz just bleeds easy. Glad Connor won don't care for Diaz much. That said don't ever count him out.

He wants to fight at 155. I don't think Connor likes dieting that hard and making the cut to 145. Diaz in he lost fight interview said he walked into the ring at 176 said he prefers fighting at 155

Dana also said of his next fight isn't at 145 he's stripping the belt. So I see that happening

He liked it enough to win the Belt :D

Did they both agree to fight at Lightweight instead of Featherweight?

That's weird, since McGregor went up to his weight for 2 fights (he wanted it), you'd think if Diaz wanted it he'd agree to fight at Featherweight.

Diaz said he'll fight at whatever he's not fighting till that fight. Connor has all kinds of things going on he doesn't know what he wants. He did say his next fight will be 155 that's when he was told Dana will strip the belt. He said he didn't think they would do that. He said he can't get excited to fight aldo who hold the interim.

Diaz is saying he came into this fight with a bad knee and broken rib and that Conor should have finished him.

Connor will not fight between now and Diaz #3. Dana is too smart to risk Connor in a fight before box office records are broken in #3.

Said his sparring partner got him good 2.5 weeks ago and hadn't been able to spare since then.
