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.

    • I agree. I’d make the move because I don’t see us sniffing the playoffs and let’s be honest TMac, Legette and Coker better be our top 3 future. If they aren’t and we need Thielen to replace one of them, then we need to draft yet another 1st round WR, SMH. Suffice it to say, Thielen isn’t good enough to get us into the playoffs so let’s get the young guys starting so we know if they aren’t good enough. We still have so many assumptions about whether players are who we need them to be that holding onto Thielen for 3-7 wins isn’t worth passing on a mid round pick (3rd to 5th/swaps). We’ve had some success with later round picks/UDFAs and need depth.
    • If you move Thielen I think you almost have to keep Renfrow. You need some sort of veteran presence in the locker room and Renfrow would be good insurance in the slot. I'm sure we have Coker penciled in to start there but you also have to be keeping Coker in the back of your head as XL insurance on the outside if he doesn't step up. If he flounders again, I wouldn't wait too awfully long to replace him with Coker outside and slide Renfrow into the slot and keep it moving. 
    • Playing the same role is different than having the same style.  Cam Newton and Drew Brees both played QB but arent the same type in any way.
