Nate Diaz got McGregor so wound up its incredible. Hes using his own moves on him.

 

Question is...does that really benefit Diaz or not?

 

We've never seen McGregor fight angry before. We've seen him fight unsure of himself (which is what the first Diaz fight was)...but we've never seen him fight when he's legit pissed off.

But we've seen plenty of other fights where the guy whos mad gets iced minutes into the first round from coming forward too hard. Hell McGregor did it to Aldo. Dude was so worked up he forgot how to fight and got caught quick.

 

Different shit works for different people. Some people fight well when they're angry.

Conor tried to do some Mushashi shit on Diaz by showing up late only to be outdone at his own game. Dude better not lose, especially to the same guy or it's over for him.

 

Hardly.

 

He's still the champion of the featherweight division. If he loses this fight, and THEN loses the featherweight title, it MIGHT be the beginning of the end for him. Diaz is just a challenge that McGregor wasn't expecting. He wanted Dos Anjos for the light heavyweight title, so he could be a double champion...which is honestly a fight I think he would have won. Dude was trying to make history, slipped up, caught a loss. No single thing is going to be the end for him at this point in his career...but losing this fight and then losing his featherweight belt would certainly be a huge downfall.

If Diaz wins this, I'll be kind of bothered. Yeah...McGregor ran out of steam, got pressured a bit, took that takedown in the final seconds...but he strategically picked Diaz apart otherwise. The face McGregor made when they announced the second judge as a draw, tho...he was like "tha *Censored*?" Lol.
