Is it just me, or does anyone else want to see this boy get knocked spark out?
He's a schemey wee prick, but people seem to love him and I just don't know why.
Am I just incredibly tasteful or am I missing something?

I love him.
Worked hard to get where he is, talked the talk and has thus far backed it up with his actions.
His 'trash talk' sells tickets and gets into his opponents heads, Aldo was a beaten man during his walk in at the last fight. The fear and tentativeness was right there in his eyes.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

I've never been interested in UFC and I didn't know any of the fighters names, so in one way he's doing a good job as I know who he is.

I originally thought he was a maybe a weight division too low - before fights he almost looked ill. Tonight maybe showed he was at the right level.

Just watched this on catch up. Never watched a UFC fight before but thought it was pretty entertaining.
i take it there are some rules involved? Thought it was odd when pinned to the fence he used his knees instead of fists.

The Diaz family are real warriors with no shortage of talent. The good thing about MMA is a few defeats on the record doesn't really matter so coming out of the fight both Diaz and McGreggor have options.

Nate's a fantastic boxer though and used his range brilliantly.

I don't watch UFC but McGregor is so popular that he draws people like me in to his fights. Definitely a very charismatic fighter and despite what some might think, he's very entertaining.
Anyway, watched highlights of this latest fight and it seemed quite clear that he was struggling with the weight. He was blowing out his arse early on and looked totally beat leading up to the point where he tapped out. He said himself afterwards that he put all of his energy into the first round and expected Diaz to crumble with some of the shots landed early in the fight.

McGregor was fighting 24 lbs above what he normally fights, whereas Diaz was just a few lbs over his weight class, it's a bit like Ken Buchanan fighting Hagler at middleweight, there would only be one outcome. Some of the bigger guys in UFC can fight at 2-3 weight classes as it doesn't affect their performance, Randy Couture fought at either light heavy/heavy and he still had the strength and power to do so but he struggled when he went to middleweight as it was too much weight to cut.
They originally wanted the fight at lightweight but Diaz only had 11 days to prepare, so they fought at welterweight (168 lbs ) McGregor fight at 140 lbs normally.

I'm sure I read that his natural weight I higher but he cuts down to 145 to give himself an advantage in size over the smaller folk at 145.
I only really started watching a few months ago so I might be talking keek.No Eternal Reward Shall Forgive Us Now For Wasting The Dawn

McGregor weighs in usually at 145, he walks at 176ish, however he had cut to 148/49 so he could put it on comfortably for 155, so when he was told he had 11 days to get to 170, it ruined any stamina and fitness he had built up and as he said, he didn't use his energy properly. Also he is only a BJJ brown belt whereas Diaz is a BJJ second degree black belt, so despite McGregor being no slouch on the ground and outstanding on his feet, as soon as the fight went to the ground he had no chance against one of the best submission artists in MMA.
