1st time i have seen him fight, what a load of hype. He can't handle a punch at all was rocked every time Diaz connected. Looked good coming forward but had no defence.
I would have a look at his previous bouts. Also have look at the calibre of the Brazilian he fought last. Although the fight did only last around 11 seconds.
The punches will have more of an effect as he fought at 170 instead of his usual 145Ib weight class. Too much of a weight jump has caught many great fighters out in the past. He is top class and still the champ at his weight.
Although I love Mcregor I'm also a fan of Nate Diaz ever sine he was a lairy 19 yo kid in The Ultimate Fighter 5 house( about 10 years ago) who stood up to that bully Karo Parysian who I think was a champion at the time. Believe me Dana White and the UFC top brass wont like this result. They are not a fan of the Diaz bro's. But Connor will come back strong albeit a bit quieter.
