I think McGregor himself thinks he has more on the line in this fight than any title fight at FW. This is a money fight for him and his reputation is on the line. His reputation = his ability to sell fights. And for the long term that is way more important for him than any belt. Conor is also a business man if you noticed, and also an entertainer. Although the belt is good for his publicity gimmicks he can be more than a champion just by being himself. Like this second fight vs Diaz, it's not a title fight but just because McGregor is in it, we all want to watch it. So it's really important that he wins and keeps his reputation and notoriety intact.
This fight is a make or break for Connor. If he loses here, his rating and ability to sell fights go down. He does NOT want that happening.
I can see Diaz taking a dive in this fight so that it will be a trilogy. That means more money for him.

I think I may actually pass on this fight now.
Dana White was on cowherd and said that if connor loses at 170 part
of the reason he did that is because he gets to retain his title and just
go back to 145 and defend it.
I was thinking there was a little more on the line for McGregor but because
he is going up in class it's almost like a built in excuse. I was going to back
McGregor but think I gotta pass now.

I think McGregor is obviously on steroids.
This is what potentially makes things even more lopsided as far as fairness goes.
If you're on St Pierre, Jones or McGregor money you can afford the latest fancy cheating methods, and have the money for disguising what you're doing also.
If you're on $8k to show and $8k to win you can only afford the steroids on sale down the local gym.
Well Jones got caugh several times now and he has been kicked out of the UFC for at least 2 years, pretty much ruined his career. Brock Lesnar also got caught.. so they dont fuck around.
So excited for this now, I've been desperate for this date to hurry up. I really want Conor to avsnge the defeat he suffered vs Nate in their 1st fight.
Conor will be much better prepared this time.

I think McGregor is obviously on steroids. The guy is looking really buff lately and at a low bodyfat. Im not sure if that is possible to achieve naturally. I guess 170 for 5'9'' is possible if you have good genetics, but then again who isn't in steroids nowadays? maybe Nate Diaz is one of the few natural guys or at least he looks like a natural.
naw they drug test.
Look what just happened with a couple guy failing drug tests and it makes the
UFC look like a joke. They are really cracking down on it and jones may be banned
for life. He is just focused as hell imo.
how can one ban an athlete for life for finding Estrogen blockers,if his team could find out how that came into his system he will get a leverage ,on normal circumstances you would get a 2 year ban from competition, if they could prove other wise the ban period will be less. From what i am hearing Jones team found out how the Estrogen blockers came into his system and they are waiting to reveal the details ,because the hearing is still pending.

McGregor is just a freak athlete, that's why he looks so ripped. I don't think he's on PED's. That's just what Diaz fans are saying because it's looking more and more like a win for McGregor.
Anyway here are two YouTube channels containing videos of each fighters' "Road to the Octagon" type videos.

With the latest random testing and stuff you simply cant escape using PED's .Even if you dont take things you might get popped if you are taking any medication or certain contaminated food products can even raise the eyes. You simply cant escape them now a days, Drug testing has come a long way in the past five years and they are constantly adding new banned items daily and if an athlete does not have a good management system to monitor all these, then he might be in trouble like the one's that happened with Yoel Romero, Jon Jones is popped with Estrogen Blockers, that is not even a PED, but it is known that people use Estrogen blockers when they are in a PED cycle ,to restart your body cycle.
Having said that i dont thing Mcgregor uses PED's ,it has being more than 6 months to build a body frame that is more than enough time. The problem Mcgregor has to face now is when he try to come back to 145 pounds with all these mass increase,it will definitely be a big hurdle. I seriously doubt he will come down to 145 pounds anytime soon.

Do you know why McGregor wants to fight at 170 pounds and not at 155 pounds ,which is Nate Diaz's natural weight class, because if at all if he losses again, Mcgregor and the UFC can make excuses about how brave he was to take a fight two weight classes above his and so on, and during all of his promos they are implicating that he is facing someone way above his weight class and so on.hope to see more excuses to come 
.i expect a tough match this time around.and if Mcgregor doesnt gass out i expect a long fight
.i expect a tough match this time around.and if Mcgregor doesnt gass out i expect a long fightVery nice analysis, weight class is indeed a factor in every fight, it might benefit both or just 1 fighter. Take for example Senator Manny Pacquiao, I love this guy and I voted for him but in terms of boxing, haters calls him king of catch weight because he fights those known fighters below their weight class it's like taking away something from them. For Conor and Diaz, Diaz looks comfortable with his weight class now and he did gained some muscle mass if you notice him this past few weeks but we don't know how he will perform with that weight, speed maybe affected.

These ones seem the most solid and I may just put in that parlay now.
mcgregor/diaz over 2.5 +115
rumble by decision +570
garbrandt tko/ko +100
magny -130
means/pennington/markos 3 way parlay

It's going to be an even fight I think. We may not see a KO this time even tho McGregor will try again to go for the KO, but he will be too cautious and the outcome will be a fight that last for all of the rounds and gets decided on UD. That is my prediction.
As the fight gets closer and closer that's what I'm thinking as well. With all the talk that Conor is saying that he'll 'put Diaz away with the same tempo but without gassing out', I think he'll be pacing himself well throughout the fight and he'll be more efficient with his energy.
im kinda liking mizugaki at +400

It's obviously Cody Garbrandt will win by 1st round TKO (punches). In my opinion Takeya Mizugaki doesn't stand a chance against Garbrandt, he's a knockout artist ( 9 Wins/ 8 By knockout/ 1 By decision). By the way who knows what will happen to their match we can't say a word after the fight.
so obvious you must have a bet slip for cody ko in the first? or you betting cody a -500? lol

I predict a great fight... But I beleive that are no miracles. Diaz is just bigger than McGregor, he has longer hands, that's matter. So my forecast: Diaz wins and UFS save a lot of marketing money, as all the people are waiting for the Fight without any advertising
