I disagree with your analysis on Diaz/Mcgregor outcome
Here's my take:
-McGregor hand picked Diaz to fight. He could of had Edgar, Pettis, or Nurmagomedov who all accepted before Diaz was chosen at 155 and he picked the guy on 11 day notice with NO camp, and NO sparring.
-Yes the fight was at 170 but these guys are both Lightweights in this fight. McGregor had to eat to come up to 170 and he himself picked 170 in order to make an example of Diaz to set himself up for future 170 bouts. He actually believed he was going to kill Dos Anjos and then Lawlor after.. He's 5ft 8 he's not a legit WW just a normal sized (if not short) LW. Real WW fighters weight 185+ and some near 200 lbs in the cage. He used the excuse that Diaz was the bigger man which shouldn't matter when their fight weight was even and both were under 170. The big difference was that Diaz is one of the most durable fighters and unlike every little guy McGregor KO'd he can eat his punches all day. McGregor actually looked very limited in this fight.
-McGregor quit once Diaz showed him adversity. The first round was actually pretty close and Diaz tooled McGregor in the second once he realized McGregor was not going to be able to keep up with the pace. In the post fight presser McGregor said he panicked when Diaz starting landing hard shots on him. This fight IMO dropped McGregor's stock significantly and showed that (Nate) Diaz is in fact one of the best fighters in the world at any given night.
For those that haven't seen the fight here you go:

McGregor is not fighting Dos Anjos any time soon. He himself knows he's not worthy right now. He's been kind of exposed now and I'm certain Dos Anjos would destroy him. Next is Aldo rematch or Edgar, but his next fight will be at 145 hopefully at UFC 200. While this fight was at 170 the truth is he got smoked by a no camp 155er. I think McGregor struggled fighting a little heavier than normal, put way too much weight into his punches, and couldn't handle the adversity once Nate put it on him. He didn't look elusive or indomitable like he has in all of his other UFC fights and got slapped at least 5 times (lol). If he is going to stay among elites in the UFC he will have to do more than just rely on his left hand. And if his grappling is really this shaky then he's already peaked and will burn out quickly because every top fighter will look to take him down and he hasn't shown the skill or athleticism to be able to keep it standing.

I agree the way Silva fought is the same way Silva always fought. Only thing I noticed was he didn't kick much. Bisping's been vulnerable to kicks before and I was surprised Silva didn't do more with his kicks.
As far as the fight goes, Bisping won. Plain and simple.
If you watch rounds 1-4 Bisping is easily up 3-1. No way for Silva to come back barring a KO in round 5.
Silva fucked himself at the end of round 3. If he just ran back to his corner and allowed 1 min. to pass Bisping would not have been able to answer the bell and a just TKO win would have been announced. Instead he tried to coax Herb to stop the fight by pretending that he won by KO and being literally the only person to celebrate for like 2 minutes giving Bisping all the time in the world to recover. The way the rules work is, once the octagon is Secured (cleared), both fighters have x amount of time to answer the bell. Because Silva was celebrating and had 50 people in the cage during the whole thing, the octagon wasn't secured for over 2 minutes in between rounds 3-4. And even after that, Silva spent another two minutes circling Bisping instead of going for the kill. I'm Silva's biggest fan but he lost that fight.

Holm showed some terrible ground skills. This just means Ronda can swoop back in, destroy Tate, and build the confidence and momentum to defeat Holm in the rematch if it ever happens. This worked out great for Rousey but makes the sport look bad when we have champions who aren't even well rounded.
By the way a parlay of Tate winning by Sub and Diaz winning by Sub would have made you some big bucks. Both very possible events with huge odds against them.
