He was the 145 and 155 champ whilst fighting in CageWarriors, so the fact that he was scheduled to jump up to 155 after beating Aldo, was not a surprise.<\/p>\n<p>However, taking a fight at 170, on less than a month&#8217;s notice (I think?) seems pretty mental. \u00a0I&#8217;m sure he would have been cutting from around 170 to make lightweight, but to fight at 170, he would have had to choose to either be<br \/>\n1. Very small for that weight or<br \/>\n2. He would have had to pack on extra weight over the last few weeks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cardio<\/strong><br \/>\nIf he did in fact, smash on a load more muscle after confirming the fight at 170 &#8211; you&#8217;ve got to think he&#8217;s on the special vitamins, and in addition, his cardio must surely be effected. \u00a0His body won&#8217;t have adapted to moving around, tolerating the lactic acid etc that an extra 10-20lbs of bodyweight will create &#8211; unless he&#8217;s eating EPO and\/or equipoise for breakfast.

Every time Nate throws a jab that&#8217;s just short of the mark, Conor may like to counter with a headkick of a front-kick to the body. \u00a0Nate isn&#8217;t really a kicker, although he likes to throw the odd front kick. \u00a0We&#8217;ll have to see if he incorporates this as part of his game plan.<\/p>\n<p>Nate will no doubt be trying to drag the fight into the 3rd round+, and will be throwing the default Stockon-slaps in peppering clusters to try and outwork the Irishman. If he can avoid the early onslaught by making Conor work hard to close the distance, I think he has a chance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Grappling<br \/>\n<\/strong>I don&#8217;t know too much about Conor&#8217;s grappling credentials. \u00a0He finishes a lot of guys with strikes on the ground &#8211; again by using his reach, and straight-accurate strikes or hammerfists to finish a wobbled &amp; floored opponent. \u00a0If it does go to the ground, it will be interesting&#8230;Nate has a good guard &#8211; triangles and guillotines (Cody Mckenzie-esk) so Conor will have to be careful he he does go in for the kill on the floor.<br \/>\nI think Conor will probably take this, but given the odds, I&#8217;m betting on Nate. Conor is technically and athletically superior to Nate, but Conor can&#8217;t make Nate angry &#8211; Nate is angry anyway as default, so his usually psychological edge may not be present.<\/p>\n<p>Nate is also bigger, longer and <em>probably<\/em> has much better cardio.<\/p>\n<p>Looking forward to this one&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Interesting match up.
