Now I just wish I had stuck the bet on. Some got 40/1
McGregor's jaw couldn't handle Diaz combo's, hence going for the takedown which he was probably told pre-fight not to do.
Agree with the round 1-2 mindset, was trying the KO uppercut every couple of punches - tried some kicks and then went back to the uppercut. Never tried jabbing his way into Nate's jaw much.
McGregor will fight Aldo at 200 and if he wins he'll go back after 155. If he doesn't then I could see him fighting Edgar, who IMO should get a chance at Conor before Aldo does. But that's the UFC all over.
Nordine Taleb's KO on Saturday night btw

It's not like he gave it his all in the first, he didn't look fucked until that left connected, then he looked out on his feet! if Nate had took a step back he could of finished him with punches.
What do we thinks next? I reckon he goes back to 145 and beats either or both Edger or Aldo then has another pop at light weight, doubt hell got a shot at RDA straight up though. Nate should get a title shot I reckon.

Connor carrying to much weight for his frame for me in that fight and was head hunting from the off, nate made a great point and re-iterated it again in the post fight press conference about who he trains with compared to Connor. Connor is massive for featherweight so has a huge advantage there and would be foolish not to move back down. To be fair he probably doesn't have much choice now anyway.
It shouldn't be a massive long term negative for McGregor - he was fighting 2 weight categories above.
What it should hopefully do is get him away from headhunting so much, and tighten up his striking defence (which has progressively got worse). Had a bit of nice jiu jitsu at the end of round 1.
And fair play to Tate (bet Dana White is swearing)

I think he partially played his loss on his own strategy. He is too keen to get that early KO, he doesn't look at a fight rounds 1-5 but only the first one or two. When he got hit with that left he should have just played defense until the round bell. Then he could have regrouped and stabilised. Victim of his own ego in the ring. Fair play to Nate though, rocked him and just applied serious pressure. Soon as Connor rolled on the canvas game over!
Nate implies in the interview with Fox that he thinks that submission will be his way to winning. Conor has been working with his movement coach shitloads this last week - possibly fears the sub.

He was trying to hard to live up to his own prediction as pre fight he'd said it would be finished via the uppercut. He doesn't carry the size to put people away with 1 punch at 170, i fear for him at 155 too if i'm honest.
He still has people's interest but would do well to keep a lid on it for a while at least until after he's had another fight at 145
