Diaz looked terrible. These MMA fighters should workout with pro boxers. I mean, I watching the Pacquiao/Thurman fight, those two still looked fresh in the 12th round. Diaz and Pettis on the other hand looked dead tired in the 2nd round. How the heck are they gonna hurt each other throwing sloppy punches with no power behind it?
I'd also be curious to know by which metric you are deeming Diaz as being "terrible" against. If you've ever actually watched Nate, you know he loves the down and dirty scappy fights. That was Nate at his finest.

Boxing and MMA are worlds apart dude. You do realize that Boxing rounds are only 3 minutes, and UFC rounds are 5 minutes right? You ever boxed? Like actually? It's fucking exhausting. Now add in kicking, grappling, etc. Those extra 2 minutes make a HUGE difference.

All i'm saying is, If these guys train like boxers, they'd be in much better shape. MMA fights sometimes are tough to watch because these guys gets so exhausted very quickly.Mamba Mentality

nate looked better than i expected. i think he had an adrenaline dump at the end of the first round, he runs triathlons for fun, he is in as good of condition as a heavy weed smoking human can be.
mma fighters have boxing coaches, and champions make millions of dollars, if training like a boxer made you better at mma it would have already happened.
hard to believe a never boxed professionally before he made 100 million dollars for one night couldn't keep up with the greatest boxer of all time. lets measure all boxers in a match between gabby jay and gsp.

McGregor did not have to grapple or kick or whatever Floyd Mayweather in their fight and he was already dead tired after the 2nd round. Floyd on the other hand looked like he can fight for 30 more rounds and he was already 38 when he fought Connor.

Also, you clearly haven't watched much boxing. Yeah, top of the line pro fighters can go for 10-12 rounds but go watch undercard fights, amateur boxing or even regular decent pro main events and you'll see guys gas all the time.
Finally, comparing an MMA fighter's conditioning for a completely different sport versus the all time greatest defensive boxer in history is ridiculous.

Khabib makes weight. Saw in the stare downs that he looks as big or bigger than Dustin too. Really only immense pressure of wanting to win for his father, and fighting in Muslim land, or the Christian God entering into the knee or fist of Dustin will stop khabib from winning this fight.

i think we will know who the winner is in the 4th round. either dustin will be exhausted and defeated by then, or khabib will start to slow, and dustin will start putting it on him, as he is want to do.
super good fight, and the possibility of a fergusson porrier fight is a better fight than fergusson khabib.
