Lab 10,979 Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Running away....? When you have a man in front of you that you have hit with everything and they won't stop coming you have a choice. Take your shots and get out the way.....it's not running away ffs. The sport is MMA...not "let's see who can take the hardest punch' Conor used his brains....something that Nate lacks. It's only his great ground game that stopped him being jumped on and ground and pounded. Again...Conor using his brains. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 30,455 Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 A man does what it takes to win I ! I see an interview with Diaz and he said he went for the takedowns to much but in hindsight should of fought a different fight . And that is the thing lads hindsight is 20/20 The fight I watched CM was catching every time with the counter right and also slapped the shit out of ND legs he fought to a game plan with a man that was a lot bigger , did you see the size difference lads ? I agree......fighting a man you know you cant hurt is a frightening thing to do it takes a lot of poise,discipline,technical ability and a decent size set of bollocks !!......i dont think Mcgregor at any time put everything into his punches as he didnt plan on stopping Diaz......it was a very classy effort by both fighter and trainer. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If he was running he would have been pulled on it. Boxers clinch when the heat is on or need a breather.....MMA guys can't clinch of they will be thrown to the ground. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

marshman 7,758 Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Nate had a big ole joint at the press conference after lol I like the Diaz brothers not one f**k given Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lukey 1,621 Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 So what the feck was it he was trying to set up then lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marshman 7,758 Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 There's a difference between backing off and regrouping and running. That was running. lol so he was running getting a breather so what . he won at the end of the day millions richer and move on to the next customer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lab 10,979 Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 There's a difference between backing off and regrouping and running. That was running. Is there a distance your allowed to go like? He got out the road, took a breather. If Nate thought he was running scared he should have chased him and finished him. I wonder why he didn't?

I wonder why he didn't? Because it's not a running race. Points scored on octagon control if you can stand in the centre and have a man run away scared to engage why Chase him. Like you say tho there should be a point where a certain amount of running sees a point deduction. Or at least back of and face your opponent still not turn your back on him lol but yeah still fair play to CM he got the win he needed Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Like you say tho there should be a point where a certain amount of running sees a point deduction. And as much as MMA is entertainment for fans a fighter has to think of himself first on getting the win. He had done the most damage in the first 2 rounds....he knows Nate is fitter than him. He's kicked the leg off him and now he has Nate following him. He's not daft mate, he knew what he was doing. To have points deducted for 'moving away' (Rogans words) would be an advantage to sluggers imo..?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moving away creating distance to land shots is very different to turning your back running and purposely not trying to engage your oppenet He was getting a breather at some of them. Not setting up. He gassed in the last fight, Nates pressure proved to much for him. He's explained all that in his post match interview. He fought with the head this time. He won. It worked. When they do fight for a 3rd time if Nate uses the head he will try and grab Conor as quick as he can and get it on the mat. Either that he gets another boxing lesson.

These ground guys are constantly taking breathers the only difference is they do it on the ground........do they get a point taken no they just get stood up......and quite often they are on the ground taking 2 and 3 minute breathers not 2 or 3 seconds like the stand up guys do.
