on 20th august the "Notorius" Conor Mcgregor will face his rival Nathan Diaz "209" who got the win over him at ufc 196 by rear naked choke on the 2round .
both fighters gave a very technical battle , Nate started slow due to his lack of preparation (taking the fight on short time notice) and Mcgregor did under estimate the durability of his Rival by using all his arsenal in the 1round .
according to "fightmetric" the Notorius was leading by scoring points 61 of 140strikes but Nate catches him very quick with 77 of 152 strikes Nate gave 16 significant hits and a submission which caused the loss of Mcgregor.
Conor has many questions to answer for himself by fighting a man who is taller with long reach and very durable fighter .
this time both of them are fully prepared in terms of training and technical preparation there will be no more excuses .
Fighting Style :
Nate is a very talented fighter he carry himself very well with a southpaw stand up , likes to provoke with his legendary Stockton- Slap , Always in front of his rival Nate keep pressure on his opponents by making them working constantly , the key of his success is his endurance and cardio making his opponents running out breath he put them Down at any cost ,
his skills are based on 4/5stars boxing and 5/5stars black belt jiu jitsu , Tank-manfighter , showboat fighter
Mcgregor is a fighter who studies very well his rivals and adjust himself to them , one of his best weapons is his diverse attacks very calculated and precise ,his mental attacks also are very effective in order to make his opponent taking wrong decisions . his skills are based on a 4/5 stars boxing ,3/5 stars jiu jitsu ,4/5 stars taekwondo ,showboat fighter .
our Prediction :
this time it will be different because both sides are fully prepared for each others .
i think this fight will start slow from both sides picking at each others slowly i think that Mcgregor will set traps so he can apply more high kicks it will be very hard for him to fight foward i believe that he will move alots by circling and switching stances trying to catch diaz with a counter attacks that is the only winning scenario that i see for the Notorius
on the other hand we have Nate fully prepared for this one , Diaz already causes problems to the irish man with his long reach and huge endurance level , Diaz is ready to swing and show the rest of the world what kind of high boxer level he is , i believe that Diaz will try to control the cage to prove his dominance by slapping Conor provoking him to aggressive and apply vicious attacks , Diaz will absorbe some damage push him against the cage and make him pay for it , however if the fight goes on the floor i doubly think that Mcgregor can get away with it
at the End i think that this fight will finish by unanimous decision or by submission from Diaz ,
thank you for reading and happy steeming .
