Just announced.. not sure this will be a great fight as I think Conor will outclass him, but should be entertaining!

Yeah.. Nate is entertaining, but this fight is a complete mismatch.. and entertaining mismatch given how much both like to talk, but a mismatch.

I wish I caught the openers at much better prices when Conor was -280, and the under 2½ was at -140 but I think these lines will climb so I bet here:

Conor McGregor (-320) vs Nate Diaz $640.00 for $200.00
Conor McGregor/Nate Diaz Under 2½ (-180) $180.00 for $100.00

Only thing will be how much of a fav Conor will be. I am horrible at predicting UFC lines, but i'm thinking something like Conor -370 or so?

Nice catches!! That line will probably climb to close to -400 i'm thinking?

Nice bets Gunn. I'm not much of a trash talk fan, but I'm looking forward to these two going at it. I think they picked Diaz over Cowboy especially after cowboy's slick sub this week. Should be a fun fight to watch

Good point Sawman. Nobody with good sub skills is gonna be a replacement fighter, look what Mendes did on a short camp!!!

not too bad of a bet at 30 % return. Diaz wont ko Conor, judges wont give diaz the decision. His triangle is his only tool to a win. 

Going to be a better fight than rda.

I knew the lines would jump quite a bit. Glad I got a little more down yesterday on Conor's ML at -304 and the under 2½ at -160 at one of the Bitcoin sportsbooks that mirror Pinnacle lines before it went up everywhere.

hey Jim, been trailing you for the past few events. Really appreciate your strategic hedging with props. 

Anyways, do you think the line will move further towards Conor being a bigger favorite? 
I'm actually liking both of the dogs in the main & co-main.

We know conor has the more dynamic striking & foot work, his hook is very dangerous & he can cover a lot of distance to move in & out of range quickly with punches & kicks.

On the flip side, Diaz has shown to have a chin. He doesnt rush in & allow himself to be vulnerable to the hook like aldo does. He stays at range and effectively uses his jab.

What we dont know about Conor is his ability to work in the clinch, use the cage, defend takedowns, and grapple at this level. If nate is able to engage a clinch with him, i see diaz being able to employ his halfway decent takedown skills to score a takedown & possibly put Conor into a precarious position.

Diaz @ ~+400 would be a great value that I couldnt pass up.

I agree, Nate has only been stopped with strikes once I see him getting beaten to mush and losing to Conor in decision

You think Diaz is better than RDA? or is it a stylistic thing?  RDA looks like a killer to me lately.

Really?  I though RDA would give Conor a pretty good fight and had about a 40% chance of winning vs him... I think Conor is a HORRIBLE matchup for Nate and can't see envision too many scenarios where Nate wins unless he's able to get inside Conor's head, which I doubt.
