Fantastic fight. Can't wait for 3. Not sure where the thoughts of rigged are coming from. Even the hardcore Diaz supporters at my house had it a McGregor win.

Im kind of walking back to this. I would have to see at what point in round 2 Diaz took over. The other 4 were obvious rounds to score. [Reply]
It's funny, the people that think Diaz got robbed are all the same ones that were dissing McGregor before the fight. It was a great fight. Close. But called exactly the way most non fanboys would call it. [Reply]
alnorth nailed it earlier. There was no robbery. I could see 48-47 for either fighter, but I can understand how Connor edged him out.
What I didn't like is that it seemed as though Connor's camp went over and saw the scorecard before it was announced. Connor knew he had the win before it was announced. He was even discussing it with his coaches.
I don't know if this happens often and other fighters just aren't as obvious about it, but it was really obvious tonight. [Reply]
