I'm glad they gave it to Diaz this is the fight I wanted to see if they didn't give mcgregor a immediate title shot, I think Diaz is ginna be the biggest challenge to him so far and with hisway superior bjj he might win it, depending on what the books have it at I might put 20 on Diaz

imo fighters should be aloud to smoke if they want... i mean they sign their lives away before a fight...
"If I’m going to train all day, when I get done, I’m gonna want to smoke," Nick Diaz talks about his use of marijuana in an in-depth interview with High Times.

Opinions in professional sports won't change until it's off the scheduling list
This fight is good for Diaz no matter what happens. If he wins, his career skyrockets and he makes a ton of money. If he loses he still walks away with a huge paycheck, get's to add to his credibility that he'll truly fight anyone, anytime, and nobody can blame him for the lose since he took it on such short notice against one of the best fighters in the world. If Conor wins, he proves he can stand and bang with welterweights and guarantees himself a shot at a fight with Lawler, thereby guaranteeing himself the chance at being a 3 division champion. Unfuckingbelievable! If by the slim chance he loses, he still gets RDA at 155 and the eventual Diaz rematch for redemption. UFC makes $ either way too, and it's one of the best matchups for the fans to watch because both fighters have aggressive, exciting styles!
Win's all around

I'd be surprised this fight lasted more than one round. Diaz wont hear the first bell. The UFC is funny the way they spin shit,"nobody would take the fight" The only one who turned it down was Edgar because he has a groin injury. Ferguson and Khabib are under contract to fight in April on fox and Aldo can't fight for the same reason Rousey isn't fighting on this card. If they were willing to make this fight at 170 the best match up in my opinion would have been wonderboy with the winner fighting for the belt at UFC 200. I think McGregor has had the easiest road to championship fights in the history of combat sports.

I think the UFC just sent Thompson to the Philippines to do some promotion, but I agree, that would have been a better fight
But how can you say he's had an "easy road" to the championship? Brimage, Holloway, Brandao, Poirier, Siver, Mendes, Aldo. Brimage was on a 2 fight win streak before he faced McGregor, Holloway has an 8 fight win streak with 6 finishes since facing McGregor, Brandao is 2 for 3 in his last few fights with two TKO's, Poirier's on a 3 fight win streak since he fought McGregor, fuck Siver, Chad Mendes is top of the food chain and he destroyed the #1 P4P killer in 13 seconds. Then he challenged RDA, THEN he took a fight on 11 days notice with a good striker 2 weight classes up.. I wouldn't say it was the hardest road we've seen, but it definitely doesn't look "easy"

Mendes dominated that fight until the last 15 seconds with 10 days notice. Holloway is a good fighter but not a contender and there fight was 3 or 4 years ago. He beat Aldo granted, post steroids. That's not McGregors fault but lets be honest, Aldo, Barao, and Silva were all guys that hadn't lost in years until the UFC started using WADA. The rest of those guys the average fan couldn't pick em outta a line up. Beating Dennis Siver shouldn't earn you a championship match in beer pong nevermind a shot at a belt. I like McGregor im an irish guy from boston, I just don't know if hes as good as he's being made out to be. He's being called the best p4p fighter in the world, when he hasn't defended a belt once. A few months ago people would've bet their lives rousey could beat mayweather and 50% of 135 lb men in the UFC. Then she ran into another legit fi ghter now shes cryin on ellen talkin suicide. I don't understand how the UFC was already talking about him vs lawler at UFC 200 when he hasn't fought for the LW belt yet. I know he's mystic mac and can predict deez tings, but come on. Feels like WWE shit. More entertainment than actual sport.

its too funny...
terrible roll model... when the going gets tough, kill yourself...
great roll model to teach young boys and girls
I don't wanna see anybody feel like that in real life, but she made her bed. She had no problem being a douchebag when she was the hammer not so much when she was the nail.
What sucks is MMA is my favorite sport outside of football and its turning into a fucking circus. I think we're gonna see a lot of fighters leaving the UFC for smaller promotions were the sport side out weighs the shit show.

No, the fight was not rigged, Mendes came in on short notice as a replacement while McGregor had been in camp training for the fight with Aldo, he was in championship shape. Mendes gassed and McGregor finished him with a straight left. That's the worst he's gotten beaten up in the UFC, but he still won the fight

I been saying since day 1 that I will beat the fuck out of Ronda Rousey .. I had a few buddies who thought she could beat most of the guys in 135-145 lb division. SMH
Mendes could take CM down sure..but then what? Fall asleep on him? If Diaz is smart( he's not) he will take CM down once or twice a round for points. I bet Diaz wants to break his jaw n stands with him n loses.
