I would've thought after talking up Holm's striking so much for beating Ronda, they'd be all over her for not defending the title even once.

Funnily enough Fury mentioned her too, saying she had guts?  So its just a bunch of competitive boxers bullshit then?

this type of shit is necessary unless you want to get paid 20/20 like diaz was before this fight.

 

look at mayweather..  no one other than hardcore boxing fans gave a fuck about mayweather when he was "pretty boy floyd" even though he was a more exciting fighter than "money mayweather"

 

I'm not sure that that is true. Look at the Klitschko brothers in boxing, for an example that you don't need to talk trash to be successful, just good.

I don't blame anybody for taking pleasure in the failure of McGregor, Rousey, or Jones.

But c'mon, that shirt thing is fucking funny.

Nate Diaz, not surprised, motherfuckers!

Actually entirely surprised, holy shit. What a spectacular night.

Can we please stop saying Conor McGregor "went up two weightclasses"

He is using that excuse, and mainstream media is parroting it.

No, he went up 1 weight class, and fought a 155'er, agreeing to fight at 170 lbs, their natural weight, so they just didnt cut weight.

fighting Nate Diaz at 170 is not the same as fighting Robbie Lawler, Carlos Condit, Johny Hendricks, etc. etc. So this "went up 2 weight classes" thing needs to fucking stop. He lost to a 155'er, a relatively mediocre one at that.

 

This is what Conor should do - return 3/4 of his cars, go back to 145, beat Aldo in the rematch, cash the cheque. Then prepare for Frankie to eat and bury his soul.

As for Meisha and Holly Holm - Ronda was just too aggressive, Meisha was far more patient. Like Connor expecting everyone to fall when hit with the left hand, Ronda was used to bullying her way through fights, so she just charged. And charged with 1 threat - clinch take down. Meishia was patient, and mixed up her approach, clinch & changing levels to shoot. I knew she had the tools to beat Holly, but didn't think she would put it together. She nearly did not, but holy hell, when she did, what a moment.

For sure didn't think Nate would survive 7 minutes with Conor - his key to victory, surviving the first 1.5 rounds. But he did it. Like a gangster.

All is not lost for Conor. But Frankie or RDA would ruin Conors life.

One of em told Justin Beiber to shut the fuck up or he'd give him a slap.  Please God, let it happen :lol:  I would pay so much fuckin' money to see one of these big fuckers get him in a fuckin' cobra clutch in Vegas at Fat Burger or something, right there on the tiles, just snap the cunt in two!

All the boxers are caning McGregor saying he bottled it and tapped out after 3 secs, is that true? :lol:

It was a Rear Naked Choke from a BJJ black belt, lucky he didn't go unconscious like Holm did. From my own (extremely limited) experience you can black out quicker than you'd think.

<insertjokeaboutbeingchokedfromtherearwhilenaked>

He's generated a shit-ton of press for the UFC with his trash-talking. There've been great fighters for years but none of them have really caught the public eye as they're not really personalities, then Rousey and McGregor come along and ratings skyrocket.

1st round he lit diaz up with the straight left and uppercut but underestimated his chin and gassed himself

conor-timing-power-hand-comp.gif?w=319

knocking out a 6ft 155er/170er isn't as easy as 5'5-5'7 145ers that he's used to 

 

then diaz got his timing in the 2nd and started tagging him

 and finally rocked him late in the 2nd and conor shot a half assed takedown
