Wow, Conor is going up to ONE SEVENTY for this fight.

Holy shit. His last fight he weighed 145 pounds at weigh in. This has to be one of the biggest jumps in history.

Say what you want about Conor's antics, but taking this kind of fight to keep the hype going after a champ goes down with an injury is fucking amazing and ridiculously ballsy.

Also, Diaz was apparently training for a triathlon. Should be in pretty good shape.

Holm didn't look like she was having fun tonight. She looked deflated and emaciated. She should be fighting at 145.

Anyway here are my predictions:

McGregor vs Diaz : most likely scenario for me, McGregor finishes in the 2nd. If Diaz survives, let's hope Conor doesn't gas with all the extra weight he put on. I still think he wins a decision.

Holm vs Tate : fight plan was pretty simple for Holm against Rousey, but interestingly it could be pretty similar against Tate: avoid being taken down. Granted Tate has more tools on her feet than Ronda but Holm is bigger, stronger and world class at boxing and kicking. This probably ends with a kick in the 2nd or 3rd.

Villante vs Latifi

Nunes vs Shevchenko

Conor McGregor vs. Nate Diaz - Mystic Mac says first round TKO.

Holly Holm vs. Miesha Tate - I go back and forth on this, but I have a feeling that Tate is going to grind it out for a decision victory

Ilir Latifi vs. Gian Villante - second round KO

Corey Anderson vs. Tom Lawlor - Anderson is too quick for Lawlor

Amanda Nunes vs. Valentina Shevchenko - Nunes will come out blazing and win round 1, then gas and lose the next 2 rounds...

Not gonna edit my predictions so here's an addendum.

Villante vs Latifi : Villante should focus on body/liver kicks and getting away, but honestly he's getting put to sleep in the first by Latifi's tremendous power.

Nunes vs Shevchenko : Shevchenko's muay thai is good (it appears she has some judo too - figures for a Russian), but she's a small bantamweight (she fought Joanna (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O358oTK3I_c) before) and Nunes is too big and strong, and violent. I don't think she (Shevchenko) survives the first.

Considering Holly just got choked out & didn't get knocked-out senseless along w/ Misha not taking punishment, they could do a rematch in 3 months since they don't really need a training camp (Holly will NEVER be able to handle Misha on the ground). But I'm pretty sure Ronda is going to jump in & demand a title fight since she has handled ALREADY handled Misha TWICE.:lol

Well what is that old saying? "That is why they play the games" Jesus Christ!!

Miesha/Holly- Holly, outside of the 2nd round I thought was performing fairly well. Miesha obviously took the strategy of making Holly come to her, and be patient with TD chances. I thought that by the 3rd round, Holly had made the adjustment and was picking her apart pretty good. But Miesha had that last ditched effort and sunk in that choke. Well done. Going forward the UFC has a problem in that, Miesha/Ronda is still all Ronda. Miesha needs to outgrapple her and she simply can't..

Conor/Nate- Well Conor has some holes in his game. I thought he had Nate going real good in the 1st and looked to me like Nate was in trouble in the 2nd, but that big left changed the fight. Conor's ground game looked awful shitty, and that has been a knock on him in the past. 3 losses all by submission.. GSP was in attendance and rumors were running wild, it would be GSP/Conor at UFC 200.. Yikes!!! Is Dana okay????

In spite of the loss I do think Holly is pretty well rounded.. Miesha is too.. But that consistent level of high competition is just not there. However Ronda's emergence as that superstar was the game changer. Women's MMA will be pretty stacked IMO 5 years from now..

Connor has been feasting on midget like Mendes (who can't handle his power) & isn't a true 145 (he drains himself to make weight).

In spite of the loss I do think Holly is pretty well rounded.. Miesha is too.. But that consistent level of high competition is just not there. However Ronda's emergence as that superstar was the game changer. Women's MMA will be pretty stacked IMO 5 years from now..

Well Holly didn't show shit on the ground today, she got handled like a ragdoll. I'm not saying they all are totally one dimensional though, what I meant is:
- Holly has a lot of work to do on her ground game, she can't keep simply trying to avoid it
- Miesha just as well because she risks getting manhandled again by Ronda
- Joanna is still just a (very good) muay thai fighter
- and Ronda of course has to learn how to box, she looked like the biggest fool last time.

None of them are elite well rounded fighters. Miesha is the most well rounded of all of them but I wouldn't call her elite at anything.

I agree though, 5 or 10 years from now we'll see chicks who have grown up watching today's fights and training MMA from the start. The media is going overboard with female MMA right now, but let's agree that these female fights are entertaining as well.

He did not deal with it well tonight. If you are going to talk that level of trash, you need to be prepared to get bloody, and fight through anything. When that fight hit the ground and he was getting punched, he looked defeated and ready to tap..

Conor got hurt and when it was time to throw the pretty stuff out and get dirty he could not. Survive and find a way to win. That's what a guy with 11 days to prepare did to win. This sport is more than just pretending to be unbeatable. In the long run this could be very good for McGregor. This kind of experience could make him better depending on how his giant head processes the beat down. The guy is still very good for the sport. He will get all the help and time he needs. White might not allow him to be himself and venture out of the playground again however.

The issue was Conor fought a guy he couldn't bully & drop with one shot.#sizematters

I will say this. Conor did not show that he deals well with adversity. He looked like a front runner tonight, that is only comfortable when he is in charge..

That's his persona. Kinda bully mentality. If it goes his way he is unstoppable. You pu some doubts in his mind, then when your primary weapon does not work and you trying to use others but they slip out of your hands .. game over

How come now he goes with excuses that nate was bigger guy? They were at the same weight. Nate had food poisoning week before, had no camp or sparring sessions. FW is brutal cut for McG- he is 155er but it seems he is not top dog but somwhere in top10. /with some ifs as well/

the fight makes no sense

one guy wins the fight but his face was all bloodied
the other guy nothing happened to him besides tapping out?

mma is a pussy sport man, get rid of submissions and let them duel it out, if you going to have submissions, why now allow biting?

Conor is such a big draw, as long as he does not totally fall off he can fight Nate again at LW and it will be huge. The story was that Conor lost, but it was one hell of a fight..

Well there's actually an art to submission. Jiu jitsu is one of the most respected martial arts in the world today. It would be weird to not allow that.
