He's an extremely good fighter with an obvious red x weak point that conor does not have the tools to exploit. Diaz even had a wrestling advantage for crying out loud and conor going 1 and 1 with him is cool. Not jaw-droppingly impressive but cool.

Not to mention that Nate is three times the size of Conor.

Everyone made weight except for someone on the fightpass prelim (Justin Willis), who said his body shut down while trying to cut weight and the UFC doctors removed him from the card. I figured interesting, must be a smaller guy or something.... nope, heavyweight. So, he failed to cut to 265, I guess.

I didn't see it, but apparently there was a towel malfunction while Nik Lentz was weighing in. After he made weight, he put his arms up to flex and knocked the towel out of the hands of one of the guys holding it.

Ian McCall made weight and his opponent has not mysteriously dropped out of the fight so it looks like Ian may finally get to hit somebody.

It's the only interesting first hand experience I can share so I always like to tell it but I had a long chat with Nate in person and he genuinely dislikes fighting. He takes it (admittedly) irrationally personally when people sign a contract to hurt him for money and that's where his animosity towards his opponents stems from. He says he'd be 100%happy just teaching jiu jitsu, smoking weed, and running triathlons, but it just so happens he's one of the best fighters in the world and it pays real well.

He's a really cool person and I'm a fan of his as a fighter and a person (and he's a loving excellent jiu jitsu instructor) and the thought of him teaching kids and smoking weed with millions of dollars makes me really happy.

Nate sounds like a rad dude. I'm glad he's had some big money fights, vindicating at least all the brain trauma and scar tissue.

Posted too quick - Here is the second half -

Did you have any heavyweights cutting weight when you did? I'm curious if it's a harder or easier overall experience depending on weight. gently caress, should probably go to the training thread.

Back when I was a freshman in high school, I was over at my buddy's house literally eating a little debby snack cake when my wrestling coach called me and told me I would be wrestling at districts. I finished third at sectionals, and the top two move on, but the runner up got hit in the head with a loving bowling ball while laying down in the lane during a school trip. I had less than 48 hours to cut from 206 pounds to 189. It was really easy. Just put on sweats, jumped on the bike for an hour in a hot wrestling room, did the same the next day, and took a hot bath the night before and made weight no problem. Then I got dumped on my head in less than a minute by the eventual state champ and suffered my first concussion. Neither the weight cut nor the match were likely good for my health, but I can say weight cutting as a larger person was indeed pretty easy, at least for me.

I think it's a good fight if none of this Post-McGregor poo poo has gone to his head, Holloway wins if it's affected him in a negative way. And if I had to bet I'd say he's affected in a negative way.

He looked real distraught while beating the poo poo out of Frankie Edgar for 25 minutes. Aldo is shook.

I personally think the Aldo that showed up to UFC 200 is the greatest fighter alive right now. Whether he can show up again or not is a question in itself, but I don't see Holloway beating that particular version of him.

UFC 200 Aldo straight up murders Max. I think Frankie would beat Max too. But I like Max and would like to see a competitive display regardless.
