Nate Diaz vs. Conor McGregor rematch this Saturday! I know lots of you are going to be tuning in for this one. Hope it lives up to the hype! Here's a link to the full fight card: http://www.ufc.com/event/UFC-202 I'm also looking forward to Anthony "Rumble" Johnson vs. Glover Teixeira, Rick Story vs. Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone. On the prelims, the guy to watch out for is Cody Garbrandt, he'll be fighting Takeya Mizugaki, if he wins, he'll probably be getting a title shot against Dominick Cruz.
Just this morning I watched the debacle of a press conference they had with the flying water bottles. I hope it lives up to the hype. Their first bout was a pretty good fight. And like you said, the rest of the card has some pretty good match ups. I give Diaz the edge again, but that's as much because I just want to see Conor get knocked down another peg. Realistically, it's a tough one to call in my opinion. If Conor is smart he will attack Nate's front leg. I think it was Ben Henderson that did that to him a while back, and it worked really well.Flip side is Ben is better on the ground than Conor, and repeated kicks could give Nate a better chance of taking Conor down, and Nate is worlds better on the ground. It's an interesting match up stylistically. I'm excited for it. I thought UFC200 was a bit of a dud. Hoping this is better.
Agreed, UFC 200 flopped, and then the positive PED tests SMH. This should redeem the UFC though if it plays out how I think it will. I think this will be a back and forth battle and then I think Conor catches him just right and then finishes him with a fury / TKO. Then they'll sell an epic trilogy fight next year some time.
