It's all about matchups. Diaz is a bad matchup for McG and Dos Anjos is a bad matchup for Diaz. The transitive property doesn't mean much in this case, IMO.



I think part of it is Diaz is just tough as nails and he's also a south paw, so that slightly changed everything McG does. I think McG should go for 155. There is a huge difference between 155 and 170.

Diaz is just tough, not too many people are taking that kind of abuse.

UFC president Dana White -- I feel bad for Holly Holm

"The sad part about that is, listen, he's an old boxing guy who thinks he's smart, and he's not," White said during an appearance on ESPN's Russillo & Kanell. "It's one of those things. I feel bad about it. I feel bad for Holly. I don't know if Holly really knows what she lost. I think she has so much faith in the people that surround her, she feels like, 'Well, they got me this far.'

Love these breakdowns that the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu guys do. They show you the technical breakdown of these fights and how jiu-jitsu wins/loses the fight. Worth a watch.

So to me, the UFC makes more money if RR fights - so I think Tate defends against RR and almost definitely loses, then HH challenges RR. From a business perspective, it's the only thing that makes sense.

I tend to agree. Rousey imo needs to defeat both Tate and Holms for any chance at redemption

White and women's UFC need her to win too

Nate is usually in cardio condition. His brother Nick is an animal with conditioning. Nate didn't have a camp this fight. No sparing, no gameplan, no confidence building.

When it comes to the Diaz boys confidence is the last thing I'm worried about. Lol

Nate is hit/miss conditioning overall outside of the cardio. Nick is ridiculous and I watched him versus my boy Paul Daley basically be out twice. His conditioning allowed him to survive the onslaught and finish Paul in the first round.

So apparently Nate was not training for a triathlon...he lied so they would give him the fight. When he got the call he was partying on a boat with Gilbert Milendez. LMFAO

Travis Browne and Cain Velasquez rumored to be in the works for 200. That would be a good start. Obviously not the main event or co-main, but a good fight.

Love to see Frankie Edgar fight. Non-stop motor and takes a punch. I think he gets hit too much to deliver his own to beat Conor.

It sure would be fun to watch though and I'd be pulling for Frankie.

I think Aldo needs to sit for a while after doing the pulling out at the last minute deal. It's happened way too much.

My ideal (and totally unrealistic) big fights at UFC 200:

  • Conor vs Frankie Edgar for Featherweight title (Jose Aldo gets winner later this year)
  • Robbie Lawler vs Rafael Dos Anjos for unification of Lightweight/Welterweight titles
  • Meisha vs Holly Holm for women's bantamweight title if you want to truly make it an epic event (or go with Rousey/Holm rematch for title shot and put that fight with the Mcgregor or Edgar/Aldo card later in the year)

Apparently Conor and Nate have agreed to a rematch at 200. I don't see it going any differently. It could be worse considering Diaz would have more time to prepare.

Doesn't make sense. Conor should be fighting Edgar at 200. Of course it'll sell big though.

If Conor can't beat a 10 day notice, no camp Diaz--how will he beat a full camp Diaz? He gave Nate his best shot with that left over & over & Nate took it & kept coming forward. What else can he do different?

WTF? MaybeConor is out to prove something. He gets to protect the belt but he has little to gain and a lot to lose. My best guess is he just doesn't want Frankie.
