banana Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 (edited) I'd say that Silva doesn't realise that he's a man in his 40s who can't fight the same way as he did. Easy to overlook his age I suppose, given the name. Classic Moussasi too. Technically brilliant, strong as f**k, calm as f**k, accurate as f**k, beats up the other dangerous looking guy, but somehow boring.

mrcat1990 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Silva didn't exactly looked gassed at any point to me though. You felt in the last two a big ko of Bisping was coming out of nowhere but it just never did. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gy diamond Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Had a brilliant night at the o2 last night. Scored it 3-2 Bisping but could of really went either way. Great seeing Scott Askham getting another KO as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiGi Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 (edited) McGregor and Diaz both looking in great shape for this. I'd also say it looks like the weight McGregor should be fighting at. Shows how impressive he was cutting to 145 for so long. Edited March 3, 2016 by GiGi 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie_Murray7 Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 Diaz was apparently training for a triathlon when he got the call so should be in great nick. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paisleysaints Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Diaz was apparently training for a triathlon when he got the call so should be in great nick. one thing training for a endurance event and a fight lol. He should be in great condition but 2 weeks hardly enough training camp for a fight. Agree great condition though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Not been in here in a while. Agree with others with regards to Bisping, I thought he had it 3-2 also. I'm not too excited for this weekend as the rest of the card isn't very exciting. I'll probably wake up around 4 to watch Meisha + Conor and then catch the other fights in the morning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Training technique or strength and conditioning. I admit Diaz couldn't done with a couple of months to train specifically for McGregor, but his technique may not of improved past his already ample skills. With that and endurance training he should be ok. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean we all expect McGregor to win. but these things must be taken into account its neither fighters fault sh*t happens and these things will continually happen Edited March 3, 2016 by paisleysaints 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrcat1990 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Also, Conor is looking pretty huge: He's gonna knock RDA out first round, IMO. McGregor is looking HUGE for his move up to lightweight. Starting to get excited about this fight now. Conor looks huge Conor looks fucking massive. Is it just me or does McGregor look huge? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fighters cardio wise will train heavy on explosive bursts of energy, so alot of sprints etc. However a triathlon is a tough grind which will still see Diaz ok for the time till he's knocked out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisherman Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I mean we all expect McGregor to win. Hmmm. I'm not sure that he'll win. Diaz' striking is very good, I don't think McGregor will walk him down like he has done with everyone else. Diaz will be able to stand and trade comfortably IMO. For me it all comes down to if McGregor still has the KO power at this weight. And if it goes to the ground I would expect Diaz to submit him. Diaz by 3rd round sub! Can't. Fucking. Wait. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More muscle and less of a draining weight cut. I don't think he'll lose any ko power, possibly some of the speed though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
