We will see soon enough...
I think McGregor wins all night long, only way I see Diaz winning is by submission,which is likely not going to happen

We'll see. Conor is used to being the taller fighter with the longer reach. He won't enjoy those advantages against Diaz. Conor can get away with dropping his hands and leaving his chin in the air against smaller guys.

I think this will be similar to when Jones fought Gustafson. Jones didn't look too good against someone who negated his size advantage. The difference is Jones is a very skilled grappler and more of a complete fighter than Conor.

Holy **** we're going off a weigh-in to break down a fight?

Diaz is a volume puncher, he doesn't turn-off lights. He's scored 4 TKO's in his career. He also gets tagged regularly up close. He also lacks kicking, so he can't sit on the outside and take advantage of his reach all night either.

Now he's fighting a guy with one-punch KO power, who closes the distance with his kicks and who's whole ground game is based on getting back to his feet, which is bad for Nate because he needs guys to try and make a move on the ground for him to trap them. The question will be how well Nate is able to absorb that left. Nate has a hell of a great chin, but he might rely on it too much tonight.

McGregor is too agile. People laugh at the movement coach with the man bun, but it works. He's too fast. His reflexes are too good
He's going to counter and move around not sit there right in Diaz's range like Michael Johnson did.

I think Nate's boxing is overrated. He's usually only had success with guys with less than rudimentary standup. Conor is not a guy with rudimentary standup. Nate's got impressive ground skills that he seldom seems to use as much as maybe he should & if he can implement those after taking down Conor I love his chances here & I think a upset will happen. Having said that I suspect Nate will standup all night long & quickly or slowly get taken apart til the ref calls it a night.

Would it really be much of an upset if Connor gets beat??
He is fighting a few weight divisions higher than normal
