Difference is between Nick and Conor...?
Conor wins fights.
KING Stannis Baratheon - I'd say Nick Diaz shows no regard too and at this point his resume has a bigger list of high calibre names but that could well change soon.If you look at their careers parallel to one another, who had Diaz beat at this stage? Also Diaz hasn't managed to capture UFC gold.

brahmabull81 - ^ Partially because the one difference between Conor and Nick is that Nick walks you down and FORCES his offense via volume whereas Conor kind of waits patiently and lets you give him the openings even though HES walking YOU down. Its also why he got tagged so much by Mendes early. Dat patience.Getting cracked like that will only last for so long though, remember Chuck eating bombs for years? Then all of a sudden he started getting laid out, it's a badass way to fight but ultimately not a very smart way.
Hopefully he has a get in and out quickly plan.

Interim belt off a rib injury is bullshit.
TKZ!!!Would love this fight 
Cain (dep on altitude)
revisionist history at it again, and so soon too
in a year from now people will be shit talking gsp im sure of it, no one is safe apparently
GeoDim -This lol
It's funny because I would think that throwing that many kicks would be a horrible idea against a great wrestler like Mendes. Turns out, it was the perfect gameplan. I don't know shit.

LMAO Nick Diaz knocked out the current UFC welterweight champion when everyone in the world was scared to fight him and he did so while taunting him.
btfos -Youre blowing CM a little too hard. Mendes had an 8 inch reach disadvantage and he didnt have a proper training camp.no-gi_JAMES420 - Walks em down like Diaz but he also freezes guys and puts them in a weird trance where they become totally reactive. They just sit there and watch him, anticipating his strikes.
Only other guys that did that who I can think of are Jones and Anderson.
Lets put things into perspective here. Sure Jones and Anderson are more accomplished for now...but Anderson's best striking performances came against sup par opponents. Chris was really the only technically gifted/skilled fighter who Anderson ever fought and Chris made Anderson look like an amature. Like wise, Gus was the first PRIME opponent who Jones faced who was not only the same size but same age, and Jones looked awful in every technical level against him. Conor doing what he did to Mendes is on another level. Mendes is an ATHLETIC BEAST who was in his utmost prime and Conor with his skills blew him out. That says so much more
Reality is a proper rematch would look different. CM may very well win again but it plays out different for sure.
Now in terms of size if Connor faces anyone at lw he will look good but not great. They will all be about the same size
These non wrestlers would beat him
Pettis, Cerrone, Barbosa, Nate, Thompson
The elite wrestlers at lw rag doll him.

You think making it an interim belt was a legit call due to a rib injury and not just a big fuck you to Aldo?
kingkoopa -What's with the training camp angle? Mendez was well aware he was back up for this fight.btfos -Youre blowing CM a little too hard.

Also, Connor was preparing for Aldo. Really it's a wash.

I'd vote up if I had one.
You're still talking utter shit though but I think you know that.
He's like the successor to Nick Diaz in this area. With the Diaz bro's being so inactive these days, it's refreshing to see. McGregor's fights have the same feel as classic Nick.
Chris Leben?
