Hes beat who hes needed to. He beat a 10 year unbeaten world champion in 13 seconds. He went up 2 weights, which is madness, especially in the time frame, and won the first round. You cant ask more of the guy than that. His talk is probably his biggest asset, but his skill level and speed is ridiculous. If he went to a proper camp, trained properly with the right spars and fought smarter, hed be unstoppable, but just not at 170.
Nate might have done a couple of triathlons for charity, im sure most fighters do the same kind of thing. Hes also known for drinking and smoking weed while in training.

You cant say Conor and Diaz are both natural welters. Bisping (185), is a similar shape/height to Diaz for example.
It was a massive plus for Diaz to have the fight at 170, hes naturally bigger, and comfortable at that weight. It killed Conor going up to 170 tho, and he was even 3lb under at the weigh in. It was a big mistake for him to not make the fight at LW the first time, then again, it sounds like he just wants to make a few mill then fuck off. He knows hell never go skint if he doesnt fight again.

170 is welterweight 155 is lightweight conner didn't go up to welterweight nore did Nate. Conner kept the weight on knowing he only had to cut weight to 155 instead of the usual 145 the only reason they fought a welter was so neither of them had to cut weight, they both got on the scales at their walking around weight Nate was only 1lb heavier than him.

Bisping is a former Light heavyweight 205 who now fights at Middleweight 185 who walks around over 200 not really comparable!

Nate is tall but skinny they are both natural 155ers

74 - LW i mean they should have fought at.
The weight clearly affected Conor, he has never gassed after 1 round before, Diaz was comfortable. Conor does not walk around at 12 stone. And Diaz couldnt get to 145 like Conor. I read Conor was 3lb under and Nate was bang on 170 at weigh in. Bisping is the same height and slim like Diaz, and he started at LHW, which makes my point clearer. Hes as close to Bisping as he is to Conor. Conor is naturally skinny, hes not stocky and ripped. Diaz is skinny but tall, makes the difference of a weight class, and Conor wasnt much more for the fight. Diaz is over 30 now, if he was struggling to make weight a few years ago, its only gonna get worse. And that is the biggest load of shit ive ever heard about him purposely not making weight because he wernt being paid enough - why take the fight then? Especially knowing you are gonna get even more of your purse taken away, and after being given extra time to train. Then he loses the fight. All that straight after his fine and ban for inactivity, and racism.
All fighters cut a lot of weight to fit in lower classes, the difference is Conor was beating them all, Diaz wasnt.

I dont think Conor will do all that much now unless he goes to a proper US camp. Hes got money and fame and already hes talking about issues with training. Still impossible to know how good he is untill he has a go at LW.

Most of the top 10 LW would probably beat Conor, its a bit ridiculous to think he can go up against elite fighters when hes sparring with nobodies. Makes his ascent all the more impressive. Give Conor a year in a proper camp, get him wrestling and working on having a bit of defense so he doesnt have to rely on his reaction speed when hes tired, and he would be up there.

He's no where near Bispings size
All the pro's where talking about Connor walking around at close to 170 and been huge for 145 even Connors camp where saying he can't make 145 anymore,
He was fighting at lightweight in cage warriors befer he joined the ufc.
He gassed because he got rocked, if he'd cut weight to 155 do you think it would of made a difference? I don't, it would of effected Nate as he had no camp, but Nate wanted the rematch at 155 but Conner insisted on welterweight.

Khabib should be getting a shot at RDA next he's a beast, it will be a good fight.

Oh god I completely forgot he'd already done him! I think they're reluctant to make it as a Russian Muslim isn't their ideal champ

Rubbish! could you imagine if Nate had a camp at all?? He trained for RDA which would of been a much harder fight.

great ko'd by rodriguez

Not yet heard it was pretty one sided though.
I haven't seen all last night's fights but the main event was pretty slow.
