banana Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Anyone else think Tate will beat Holm? No? Just me then, okay. She's being significantly underrated. Still think it's roughly a 50 50 fight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Stewart Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 There's 0% chance McGregor wins by sub. I know it's rarer than a Diaz brother forming a coherent sentence, but I just have a feeling Diaz will over extend himself and give away his back, just a feeling though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiGi Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 If anyone is winning this fight by submission it's Diaz. Agree with the above you have to love Nate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 If Diaz was to give his back away, he'd take it right back. McGregor is simply not good enough on the ground to submit Diaz. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banana Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 (edited) If Diaz was to give his back away, he'd take it right back. McGregor is simply not good enough on the ground to submit Diaz.Highly speculative, we've not seen McGregor on the ground against a grounded or damaged BJJ artist. Saying that, he'd be daft to risk it unnecessarily when his forte is on the feet, where I expect he'll have a considerable overall boxing advantage.

Ira Gaines Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I'd say if he was more skilled on the ground, McGregor would have done more with Mendes. He fought smart against Mendes, and I think Diaz will struggle to do anything with him as well, but as far as going on the offense goes, I don't think he'd be able to finish him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 (edited) It's not harsh at all. The Diaz brothers are both thick as mince and don't really give a f**k about the consequences of their actions, or anything else, so it's pretty difficult to psyche someone out who rarely has a thought in his head, and doesn't give a f**k what happens on the few occasions that he actually does. Looking forward to the fight though. I'm predicting McGregor by decision or submission, not sure which yet, leaning towards a choke. I guess I just feel sorry for him. Why is Artem still a signed fighter? Guy literally brings nothing to the table. I think if he wasn't involved in the SBG set up he would have been punted.

mrcat1990 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Artem is only there on the back of McGregor. My friends coach is one of the higher level fighters in Cage Warriors and when mate asked him why he hadn't been signed up to UFC, his reply was "They're too busy sucking off Irish people" Regarding Tate Holm, I think Tate certainly has a damn good chance and a higher one than the bookies think. An absolute grinder and talented fucker. Probably still pick Holm but may lump a few quid on Tate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradHorse Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I think Jim Miller is overpriced at 7/10 (last I checked), don't see Sanchez bringing much for him at all. Tate is also overpriced IMO, think she was 11/4. My main bet will be that double. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 11/4 is mental for Tate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fighting a wrestler and fighting a BJJ artist are two completely different ground games. Anyway, we'll see what happens when Diaz inevitably lies on his back and beckons Conor down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An absolute grinder and talented fucker. Probably still pick Holm but may lump a few quid on Tate. Agree with him tbh. As much as I like Conor and he brings a whole load to the sport, at times he gets on my nerves. Artem is pure shite and shouldn't be anywhere near the UFC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Conor will say 'f**k that' and wait for the referee to stand him up again. Yup. Or slip out when Diaz goes to improve position. Something he appears to be excellent at. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see her winning any other way so I shall probably take some of 365's money that way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
