Nate Diaz is still dropping bombs on Conor McGregor…

UFC lightweight and welterweight Nate Diaz stuck himself firmly on the map this past March 5, taking out the highly hyped UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor by submission. The UFC 196 had all the thrills and spills of a classic bout, including a fierce rivalry before hand. It was only 11 days in the making, as Diaz replaced the njured lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos, but the Stockton bad boy capitalized in a big way.

Many people felt the diverse striking attacks of McGregor would have Diaz shooting in for ground attacks and takedowns, but as it turned out, it was quite the opposite. The taller 209 native blasted ‘The Notorious’ with some hard shots, and for the first time in the Irishman’s UFC career, it looked like he may have been in trouble. Then cam, as predicted by Diaz, the takedown attempt from McGregor. It was as good as over from that point.

Diaz catapulted himself in to the limelight, and is currently relishing his well deserved attention and also a much increased disclosed pay check. Chatting with Mike Bohn for Rolling Stone Magazine, the younger of the infamous Diaz bros says he was close to knocking McGregor out, among some other cool topics:

“I lost plenty of decisions and I’ve never got a rematch to this day,” Diaz says. “So that’s crazy. Conor got worked over and now they’re saying rematch, which makes sense, I understand that. I just think it’s funny because it’s like, Jose Aldo didn’t get a rematch.”

“Those are both great fights, big fights, but those are both my brother’s fights. I’m not going to step on his shoes,” he says. “I’m not going to into his weight because everybody wants to see Nick vs. GSP or Nick vs. Lawler. I would like to fight for the Lightweight title. But if I did the [fighting at] 170 thing I would like them to work out the deal with Nick and I’ll take the leftovers.”

“I wasn’t training for the triathlon,” he says…

Nate Diaz Has Some Jiu Jitsu Advice For Conor McGregor

Wow, Nate Diaz also blasts Conor McGregor’s haters and the trolls…

For those of you that thought the heated rivalry between Nate Diaz and Conor McGregor was still burning, this recent interview might change your mind. We are just 11 days removed from the madness of UFC 196, and the blockbuster pay-per-view card from Las Vegas, Nevada is still making front page news. The UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor faced Nate Diaz in the main event of the evening, and it was more spectacular than any of us could’ve imagined.

To the surprise of many of ‘The Notorious” fan base, the Irish boxer was not able to take Diaz out in the first round as he’d predicted. The chin of the Stockton Jiu Jitsu ace proved steadfast, and by round two it was clear who was going home with the victory. For the first time in McGregor’s UFC career, he was in serious trouble, and Diaz’s combinations began clipping the jaw on a regular basis.

As UFC commentator Mike Goldberg might say, Diaz smelled the opening, and he wasn’t going to let McGregor off the hook. All the trash talk and mentions of ‘snitches in Stockton’ had clearly put wind in the sails of Diaz, and it wasn’t long before his own predictions began to come true. Everyone becomes a wrestler once they get hit, and McGregor did just that, shooting in for an ill fated takedown on the superior grappler. This marked the end of the fight before it had even happened.

The subsequent ground and pound from the mount, attempt to escape by McGregor, and Diaz sinking in the rear naked choke from the back was elementary.

For once it was Conor McGregor on the receiving end of the taunts inside the octagon, he was a broken man, and Nate Diaz’s corner were letting him know this throughout the final moments of the fight. As the featherweight champion tapped out, it was clear that welterweight was not the place for him, and that Diaz’s Jiu Jitsu was simply superb. We also saw a huge backlash in the form of hateful memes and a strange scrutiny of McGregor for tapping out rather than going to sleep.

Former UFC Champion Goes Berserk When Asked About Conor McGregor

The post Former UFC Champion Goes Berserk When Asked About Conor McGregor appeared first on LowKick MMA.

UFC 196 provided all the thrills and spills of any instant classic pay-per-view card, and featured a night of underdog victories in the main and co-main event. Miesha Tate stopped the short lived champion Holly Holm in her tracks, decimating the former boxing queen in the fifth round by choking her out cold. ‘Cupcake’ is now heavily linked to a trilogy match with ex-champ Ronda Rousey. But, let’s be honest, the main event was the true fight of the night, and it was born from a pairing only 11 days in the making.

Nate Diaz replaced injured lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos against Conor McGregor, fighting at 170 pounds on less than two weeks notice. After a back-and-forth first round, Diaz put the screws to the plans of ‘The Notorious’ with a stunning second round rear naked choke.

Diaz had put the middle finger up to the doubters and sent McGregor back down to his 145-pound title. In the space of less than ten minutes the Stockton bad boy had unravelled the Irish star, and exposed the glaring holes in his game. Many would claim that weight and cardio played a big role, but on fight night it’s all about pulling your best performance out of the bag, and a gracious McGregor would tip his hat to Diaz for his massive win.

So it turned out to be red panty night for Nate Diaz in every way, he banked big for the win, and took the biggest scalp of his career so far. With the loss for McGregor came a horde of reactions from MMA fans, fighters and media personalities across the world, some of them rather hilarious and crazy. But one particular former UFC champion literally lost his head when asked about the McGregor vs. Diaz fight.

Conor McGregor Risked It All For Money At UFC 196, But It Might Not Matter

Now that the dust has finally settled on last weekend’s (Sat., March 5, 2016) insane UFC 196 from Las Vegas, the world’s foremost mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion can begin to pick up the shattered pieces of a landscape that seemingly changes dramatically with the passing of each and every blockbuster card. Obviously the vast

Obviously the vast majority of the fallout is directed at UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor’s first UFC loss to Nate Diaz in the main event. The pivotal, hyped bout has been dissected, re-dissected, and examined under a million microscopes, so there’s no need to go into meticulous detail about what transpired in the wild affair. Basically the quick summary of the fight was that after winning the first round and arguably the first portion of the second with several powerful punches, McGregor faded and was tagged by a vicious one-two combo from Diaz, who swarmed on a rocked ‘Notorious’ prior to absolutely demolishing him on the mat with a brutal rear-naked choke.

It was a devastating, bloody, and overall descriptive loss for the exploding fame and personality that is Conor McGregor, and indeed it will harm his UFC career path in more ways than one. But at the end of the day he deserves respect for being a true fighter who took a fight up two classes for the risk of a huge payday, which he said would be a massive $10 million when it was all said and done.

The outspoken Irishman has taken a hit to his perhaps overblown aura of invincibility, yet he took the loss like a true champion and is still that in the 145-pound division. With that said, there are some key reasons why the loss may or may not hurt his overall scope. Let’s take a look at both sides of the discussion.

UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor suffered his first loss for the promotion tonight. In a similar situation to Ronda Rousey’s first loss, the Memes are going crazy right now….

So the UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor made his welterweight debut tonight (Saturday March 5, 2016) in the MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas, Nevada. It was a crazy night of fights that saw Holly Holm dethroned in her first attempted title defense against Miesha Tate, and the fun was just getting started there. When McGregor and Diaz finally faced off, the crowd was electric, and they did not disappoint.

The two brash trash talkers slugged it out in a thriller that didn’t even last two rounds, but very few people put money on how this fight ended. Diaz rocked McGregor in the stand up striking, and tapped him out when the fight went to the mat. It seems for all the hype and media coverage surrounding McGregor, it all means absolutely nothing on fight night.

So where did it all go wrong for Conor McGregor? Well, moving up two weight classes probably wasn’t the wisest idea in the first place, but was there an element of ‘The Notorious’ buying in to his own hype? The similarities between McGregor and former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey are eery, and they don’t end there.

Thje internet has reacted to the McGregor loss with a torrent of hurtful memes aimed at the fallen Irishman, who goes back to the featherweight division with a loss, albeit still holding his 145-pound title.

This classic is more relevant now than ever before. LOL…But what about the Diaz brother’s reaction? Don’t worry, they are in on the fun too…
