Things got a little bit heated at the press conference.  Say what you want about McGregor...he knows how to sell a fight lol.  Of course McGregor was supposed to fight Dos Anjos but he broke his foot.  I was a little bit disappointed because I'd like to see this fight.  Dos Anjos just beat Diaz a little over a year ago by UD so maybe Diaz can at least make it interesting, or he could get lucky and win but I doubt it.

Nice fight between Tate and Holme.  Didn't catch the first 3 rounds but the last two looked like Holme was winning until Tate got inside and put that rear naked choke hold on her.  Very impressive patience shown by Tate, something Rhonda couldn't do.

 

Main event coming up.

Just wish my streams would stop buffering. I missed the end of that fight.

Yeah I'm streaming as well.  The buffering is maddening at times but you just have to keep looking until you find one that isn't maxed out.  I found a decent one that only buffered twice in those two rounds so I didn't miss anything.  Now watch it start to fug up now that McGregor and Diaz is getting ready to start.

Wow...Diaz caught McGregor in the second round with a nice shot and had him stunned.  I didn't think he would finish him off even though McGregor was stumbling around clearly dazed.  But about a minute or so later McGregor tried to take him to the ground and Diaz flipped the script and choked him out.

Amazing.

Conor will be back. He was winning the fight until him being cocky got him clipped. People are shitting on him, but he fought 2 weight classes above his normal one and agreed to fight Diaz on short notice. I wouldn't even be surprised if Conor won an eventual rematch. 

 

Holm vs. Tate was very entertaining. Holm is a badass surviving that many submission attempts and refusing to tap. Miesha is a badass for pulling off the comeback because I was certain we were going to see a classic Greg Jackson points victory by Holly.

Yeah I think McGregor just tired himself out.  He was landing some nice shots...those shots would have probably ended the night for most featherweights.  If he paced himself he probably would have won easily.

    • https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/onsi/xavier-legette-s-offseason-focus-could-help-unlock-panthers-wr I am going to be totally honest here: If I had to bet Xavier Legette would pass or fail--well, maybe catch on or drop (pun obviously intended), my money--err, pie in Zod's coming Huddle wagering system😅), I would pick the latter based upon what I've seen the last couple of years. But, like the writer, Preston Palm✋🏽, says, I'm going to be optimistic. Why not? It's the time of year for it, and I've told y'all before that through my fully grown skepticism, I haven't completely given up on X. I'm rooting for the kid.  X knows he can't have another year like the last, he said it himself: "My main thing is just to have a better year. I can't have another year like last year, I can't do that." He knows what's on the line. He's not dumb, however much some of you want to equate being country, or, more specifically, "talking country," with being dumb (which is kind of dumb in itself, but I digress...). X knows what's on the line, very clearly. As such, he has made some changes according to Palm ✋🏽, "Legette has looked noticeably thinner at minicamp this year and has reportedly dropped 7-9 pounds, which should alleviate some pressure on his hamstrings and not force as much impact on them every route he runs." You see, part of X's problem the last couple of seasons were his hamstrings, and now, he's focused on "bulletproofing" his hammies.  But of course X's journey hasn't just been about physical misfortunes and injuries, he knows that he hasn't displayed the best football, so he's embracing the pressure to perform, and likens it to what he did at USC (the southern version *sarcasm present*) during his time there. He exploded on the scene during his senior year, so hopefully he'll do something similar in year three of the NFL. Though we've recently seen some receivers breakout sooner, many receiver still don't break out until their third season due to the complexity of NFL route trees and such. I've never been an X hater, but I'm a realist. Still, I'm looking for X to make the jump. That would be the best for all involved.  
    • Tort is a fuging asshole. But, I love that he will keep starting Hart.
    • The two wasted first-round draft picks, Bryce and XL. If they underperform, it's time to cut bait.
