Do you honestly think Holm would make the same mistake in a rematch, I highly doubt it. Remember she took herself down.
I'm just going to quote myself below (the exact post that you quoted) so that you can reread it slowly and see that I never said that.
In fact, I said exactly what was in the article you posted.
Thanks for your contribution though. :thumb:
Ah, I'm butthurt now? I like McGregor, I'm not a superfan.
Diaz picked the weight, not McGregor, Diaz refused to go below 165. And you referenced the number of fights at each weight, not who picked the weight. Your story keeps changing.
My buddy and I want to see who can bench press more. I usually bench about 145 and he usually benches about 155, but today we're going to be attempting to bench 170, so I think that I'll have the advantage. Right?
I can't believe Meisha only gets 46 thousand a fight, a top 3 womans draw, not sure how many fights she has left on her contract with the UFC but thats fucked up ..I mean Diego Sanchez gets 75 thousand a fight

Conor McGregor: Head trainer John Kavanagh reveals reason for defeat against Nate Diaz at UFC 196
The Crumlin fighter tapped out of his welterweight bout against Nick Diaz at UFC 196
Conor McGregor’s head trainer John Kavanagh has revealed why he believes his man lost against Nate Diaz at UFC 196.
The 27-year-old mixed martial artist tapped out of his welterweight bout against his unfancied opponent when caught in a rear-naked choke during the fight’s second round.
McGregor holds the UFC’s featherweight belt and usually fights opponents at 145lbs but, in order to avoid the cut in weight, elected to face Diaz at 175lbs.
Many commentators attributed his defeat to this step-up in weight, but Kavanagh believes, more than anything else, the Crumlin fighter punched himself out.
"Yeah, a lot of things were working," he told The MMA Hour. "If there was something to critique or take away from that fight, I think Conor almost immediately said it much better than I'm able to say, is that he was inefficient with his job and Nate was efficient. And that's what I was trying to get across, and that's what we saw happening.
“I kind of think it was really exhaustion at this stage. He looked really, really tired.
John Kavanagh, Conor McGregor's trainer
“He kind of blew himself a little bit trying to take his head off with every single left hand rather than just landing it. Maybe I could have stole his own phrase and told him to keep it flowing. I think there was a good left cross, and it kind of stumbled Conor back.
“I kind of think it was really exhaustion at this stage. He looked really, really tired. At that stage it was clear that he was very, very tired. And if there's one thing you're never going to say about a Diaz brother is that he gets tired. He just has that incredible ability to just keep going and keep pushing themselves.
“They [Nate and Nick, Nate’s brother] are phenomenal athletes, the two of them. So I thought that tiredness and him being pushed back was when I was worried."
McGregor has also confirmed that he would like to face Diaz again in a re-match.
“I’m ready to go again,” he told TMZ. “I had a great time. It was a good fight, a hell of a fight. I look forward to coming back with a vengeance."

Bellator inks veteran UFC heavyweight Matt Mitrione
By MMAjunkie Staff March 14, 2016 2:45 pm
For the first time in his professional MMA career, Matt Mitrione will fight for an organization other than the UFC.
Mitrione (9-5 MMA, 9-5 UFC), who first joined the UFC in 2009 after a quarterfinal-round finish on “The Ultimate Fighter 10,” has signed an exclusive four-fight contract with Bellator. Officials today confirmed the signing after Mitrione first announced it on “The MMA Hour.”
A date hasn’t been set for his promotional debut, and financial terms of the deal weren’t disclosed. However, his deal will reportedly include commentary for the newly announced Bellator Kickboxing.
Mitrione, who’s No. 15 in the USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA heavyweight rankings, was riding a three-fight winning streak before recent losses to Ben Rothwell and Travis Browne, the latter coming in controversial fashion. The 37-year-old former collegiate football and NFL player said the time was right for a change.
“There comes a time in every athlete’s life, where the scenarios change and the landscape has eroded from what made you fall in love with it initially,” Mitrione stated. “It has become that time for me. After a mutually beneficial free-agency period, I’ve decided to move my career to Bellator.
“I’ve enjoyed almost every second of my career and unlike most that switch organizations due to being cut or no longer being able to perform at the sports highest levels, I am bringing a body and skillset that are only getting better, and I cannot wait to test my abilities against the best Bellator has to offer.”

The UFC is disgusting with pay, without a doubt one of the top 5 fights ever in the UFC Rory MacDonald vs Robbie Lawlor
Rory was paid 59 thousand for that fight, it was his 5th of a 6 fight deal ...UFC and Rory can't come to terms on a new deal forcing Rory to play out his contract ,,,Hopefully he can win big against Stephen Thompson to force the cheap fuckers to pay up

He was 3 solid punches away from KOing the now champ in Lawlor..the guy is 26 in the prime of his careerHe has beaten Nate Diaz, Demian Maia, Tyron Woodley and Tarec Saffiedine and they are all threats to belts so not sure what you are trying to say
He has beaten Nate Diaz, Demian Maia, Tyron Woodley and Tarec Saffiedine and they are all threats to belts so not sure what you are trying to say
I don't see how he was three punches away from KOing Lawlor, I just don't think he can get past Lawlor or Hendricks at this point. If he gets taken to the ground he's in trouble. I see him as always being one step away at this point. His next opponent is not going to be easy to beat at all, plus he'll most likely have to face Warlley Alves sooner or later and his style is what gives him the most problems.
The fight business sells a whole lot based on personality.
A fighter like Mighty Mouse is always criticized for being boring and he's probably the most dominant UFC fighter as right now. Who has come close to beating him?
I have a feeling that the UFC won't be giving Rory exactly what he wants if doesn't win his next fight.
Perhaps watch the fight or the last 45 seconds of this round...I was wrong he was one solid punch away

NEWS LATEST NEWS UFC Conor McGregor vs. Nate Diaz rematch in the works for UFC 200
By Ariel Helwani @arielhelwani on Mar 18, 2016, 12:04p 1159
It appears as though UFC 200 is on the verge of getting its main event.
The UFC is close to finalizing a non-title welterweight rematch between Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz for the July 9 card, MMAFighting.com has learned from multiple sources. If all goes as planned, the promotion is hoping to announce the fight shortly.
Earlier this month, Diaz defeated McGregor via second-round rear-naked choke in the main event of UFC 196. The fight, which was put together on just 11 days notice after McGregor's original opponent**Rafael dos Anjos withdrew due to a foot injury, was a smashing business success for the UFC. It easily eclipsed one million pay-per-view buys and was the third-highest gate in the organization's history.
The loss marked McGregor's first in eight UFC fights, dropping his professional record to 19-3. Diaz, a nine-year veteran of the UFC, is now 19-10 and, most importantly, more popular than ever as a result of the win over McGregor on March 5.
And while the likes of Frankie Edgarand Jose Aldo have been campaigning to fight McGregor in July, the plan right now is for the Irishman to fight Diaz again after all.
Already reported for UFC 200, which will take place at the new T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, are Cain Velasquezvs. Travis Browne and Gegard Mousasi vs. Derek Brunson.

Miesha Tate 'would love' fight against Cris Cyborg: ‘What do I have to lose?'
By Shaun Al-Shatti @shaunalshatti on Mar 18, 2016, 10:00p 73
Esther Lin, MMA Fighting
Winning the UFC bantamweight title hasn't changed Miesha Tate's mind about Cristiane "Cyborg" Justino.
At a fan Q&A in Brisbane on Friday, Tate responded to rumors about Zuffa exploring the possibility of having Justino fight in the UFC by echoing past statements that she would be more than willing to step up in weight and face the feared Brazilian.
"I've been hearing [the rumors] for such a long time, I just don't really know, I haven't had that confirmed. But I am open to that fight," Tate said. "Maybe doing it at a catchweight at 140. You know, I have nothing but respect for ‘Cyborg.' She freaking eats girls for breakfast. She's amazing. And it's like, what do I have to lose in that fight? I go out there and give it everything I have, and if I'm able to take out Goliath, then I am. Yeah, I would love to step in there with someone of her caliber."
Tate (18-5) captured the UFC women's bantamweight title in thrilling fashion at UFC 196 when she submitted Holly Holm with a fifth-round rear-naked choke.
Holm previously seized the title from Ronda Rousey, the division's former standard-bearer who for years refused to meet "Cyborg" at a catchweight superfight which had the potential to be one of the biggest events in mixed martial arts history.
Justino (15-1, 1 NC) is currently Invicta FC's reigning featherweight champion, but is in talks to make her UFC debut at UFC 198, which takes place May 14 at the 42,000-seat Atletico Paranaense soccer stadium in Justino's hometown of Curitiba, Brazil.
While Justino's relationship with Rousey is obviously on bad terms, she shares no such animosity with both Tate and Holm.
All three women recently joined together to shoot Fight Valley, an action film slated to release April 7. The silver screen experience was a first for all involved, and while Tate insisted that fighting will always come first, she also expressed interest in pursuing more acting roles in the future.
"I was really surprised that I actually really liked it, honestly," Tate said. "I didn't think I would be a very good actress, and I don't know, I have yet to find that out when I watch the movie if I was or wasn't. But I had fun with it, that's the difference. I didn't think that I would enjoy it as much as I did, but I did. It was really challenging and a completely different realm. It was hard, but I liked it and I think I would like to do it a little bit more."

Diaz vs Dana's Dildo 2 would be really bad, a proper training camp by Diaz would be the end of Conner
This is UFC 200 supposed to be big fights...only one that makes sense to me is Conner vs Edgar or Aldo or 155lbs vs DosAnjos although after that performance vs Diaz does he deserve a tittle shot at 155?
I agree that if Conner's next fight is not at 145 he should be forced to vacate the belt

I agree that if Conner's next fight is not at 145 he should be forced to vacate the belt
The latest report on the possibility of the fight is that it’s simply a matter of contracts being finalized.
“It’s not happening at a more natural 155 pounds. It’s happening at 170 pounds. The contracts are already out there and that’s what they want,” Ariel Helwani recently said on The MMA Hour, not revealing specific sources.
Conor McGregor vs. Nate Diaz scuffle“(McGregor) is obsessed with the idea that he lost to Nate Diaz at 170 pounds, he feels like he should have won and he wants the same circumstances, the same rules, the same stipulations. He wants to do it again and prove that he is the better man.”
In addition to the report on The MMA Hour, while he fell short of confirming anything, Diaz himself sounded as if a rematch was coming together in some comments he made to Rolling Stone.
“I lost plenty of decisions and I’ve never got a rematch, to this day. So that’s crazy. Conor got worked over and now they’re saying, ‘rematch,’ which makes sense,” Diaz said. “I understand that. I just think it’s funny because, it’s like, Jose Aldo didn’t get a rematch.”
RELATED > Rafael dos Anjos and Frankie Edgar Are Not Enthralled by Possible McGregor vs. Diaz 2
While there are many people shaking their heads at the prospect of a rematch, when Diaz choked McGregor out in the second round of their first match-up at UFC 196, it appears that we’re heading closer and closer to the likelihood of a rematch.
--------------
Looks like it's happening. Diaz himself said it doesn't make sense, but he would be stupid to say no to THAT BIG of a payday for him. Imagine, 196 did 1.5 milli buys. UFC 200 will be the biggest UFC event ever, and Nate will get to headline it if he faces McGregor. He will easily make 4-6 million that night from PPV points, plus $500 K disclosed. Conor will make b/w 10-15mil. In a perfect world, McGregor should have to vacate his belt @ 145, but he can do what he wants. Poor Jose and Frankie. I want to see Holloway get a shot at one of them.
“It’s not happening at a more natural 155 pounds. It’s happening at 170 pounds. The contracts are already out there and that’s what they want,” Ariel Helwani recently said on The MMA Hour, not revealing specific sources.
Conor McGregor vs. Nate Diaz scuffle“(McGregor) is obsessed with the idea that he lost to Nate Diaz at 170 pounds, he feels like he should have won and he wants the same circumstances, the same rules, the same stipulations. He wants to do it again and prove that he is the better man.”
In addition to the report on The MMA Hour, while he fell short of confirming anything, Diaz himself sounded as if a rematch was coming together in some comments he made to Rolling Stone.
“I lost plenty of decisions and I’ve never got a rematch, to this day. So that’s crazy. Conor got worked over and now they’re saying, ‘rematch,’ which makes sense,” Diaz said. “I understand that. I just think it’s funny because, it’s like, Jose Aldo didn’t get a rematch.”

While there are many people shaking their heads at the prospect of a rematch, when Diaz choked McGregor out in the second round of their first match-up at UFC 196, it appears that we’re heading closer and closer to the likelihood of a rematch.
