    It's really good. But that's why I mentioned that's been his only meaningful fight. He hasn't beat any other great fighter. Let's not deny anyone can lose to anyone on any given night. Conor just hasn't beat enough greats to be considered great like he makes himself seem. He's really good though. I'm not hating I hope you see what I'm saying

    Just want to set the record straight on McGregor/Diaz's weights. Conor has never missed weight at FW, and even made 145 when he didn't have too against Brandao (you are allowed to come in 1 LB over in non-championship fights), while Nate weighed in at 160.5 (4.5 lbs heavy) for the RDA fight. Conor had fought at both 145 & 155 in his 14 fights before the UFC. Most of Nate's UFC fights have taken place at 155. After losing to Gray Maynard in 2010 Nate went up to WW for 4 fights, won the first 2 and was MASSIVELY out-sized in the last 2 against Dong Hyun Kim and Rory MacDonald (he moved back down afterwards).

    So in other words Conor is a FW fighter, who has put on some size recently because he has obviously been fighting at a higher weight. Nate is a LW fighter, BUT he recently said none of the current LW contenders are worth making that cut down to 155. At the same time Conor's coach has stated he didn't want him fighting at 145.

    So no Nate isn't 30 LBS heavier then Conor nor is he 6 foot 3 (Conor said both in the build up), but Nate definitely has 10-15 LBS on him which is pretty significant.

    Felt like that needed to be said, carry on.

    I went 2-3. Not the best but they were off the top picks... didn't put money down or anything. I at least got the round and how they'd win right for the ones i picked correctly tho. @nobodyknows barely knows why he picked the fighters he did and went 5-0 tho ffs. Better start betting.

    Yea I didn't make a pick for the Main Event or Lobov/Avila (just due to having zero interest, would have taken Artem is i've never seen other dude fight), but out of the other 10 fights only got Lim beating Perry wrong.

    Felt s-----y for Conor last time and now I feel bad for Diaz. Really sucks to see either of these guys lose. Both absolute warriors.

    Let's go Mcgregor!!! Fight 3 coming. Best fight I've seen in a while. Lived up to the hype 100%. Mcgregor took the first two rounds unanimously it was hard for Diaz to fight his way back into it to win by decision but he did one h--- of a job trying.

    Well that was great for the sport. Easily the most pages any event thread has gotten on S80 so 2 million PPV buys confirmed. Say what you want to about Conor but he brings money and eyes to the sport. f--- that hipster mentality when it comes to a guy who transcends the sport and brings in mainstream attention (I mean if you just dislike him it's w/e but yeah). The third fight will do huge numbers. But for the record @Charlie I've been watching long before Conor showed up. I was watching some of the very early events as well but started watching every event in 2011. Just enjoy the fact that the sport is growing while Conor is having so much success.

    202 delivered big time, main event had crazy high expectations but managed to even surpass them, best fight I've seen yet.
