He did, so I think Conor still edged the round.

Maybe recency bias but is this the best event in years.

A dull WMMA fight in there but so many great finishes and a great main event!

Thought he had 2 knockdowns in the 2nd before Diaz came back towards the end.

Conor got the knockdown early in 2 which is why I gave it to him

Crowd was pretty lame in a war like this for a high profile fight. Irish contingent must have dropped from like 35% to 10% of the crowd.

Wow thought Bruce was gonna say it was a majority draw. Conor was so gassed....hands down and literally running away from Nate. I have never seen someone have such a perfect first round, and then fall off a cliff cardio wise. His take down defense against the cage was great though. Didn't get taken down till the last 10 seconds. Saved him.

Judges are slowly coming around to them being a thing, and besides, 47-47 means there was a 10-8 somewhere

Pretty sure there were 3 knockdowns, can't remember if it was 2 in the 1st and 1 in the 2nd or vice versa.

With supposedly more lenient 10-8 rounds, I could see a judge handing one out in rd1

I'm not surprised mother****ers.

3-2 rounds is indisputable.
I disagree with giving diaz a 10-8 in the third. If so, round 1 is very close to the same.
Round 2 pretty clearly to Conor in my opinion. I don't think late flurries should give some extra "momentum" points or whatever it may be perceived as.

Perfect strat. Not sure if Conor is not as good as i think or if Nate is a nightmare stylup in a 5 round fight.

I'm up for watching a third. Nothing else makes sense (and vacate 145 of course. An Aldo rematch probably must be at 155, doubt Conor can get down again)
