Does sound a bit optimistic. How does he expect them to make it more interesting! Maybe he wants to fight Aldo and Edgar at the same time!

Leverage for negotiations i would think is the point of not committing.

When Conor was running away in the fight I have to admit I felt really bad for him and found myself willing him to survive. I fully expect to regret that over the coming weeks.

Yea I thought it was all over for Conor then. He was out of breath a lot.

Surprised to see that a lot of the poll are going for Conor by KO.

If he couldn't do it the last time I doubt he'll do it this time. That Diaz lad has a head made of granite. You could box him about all day and he'd still come forward. He's like the terminator!!

Could be another humbling night for Conor.

I'll get my coat.

Well done Conor that's a hell of an achievement.

Delighted to hear McG is done with 170. He isn't big enough to do well in it and it saps his energy. 155 would be good but hope he goes back down to put Aldo in his place.

Did it not seem like a really weird ending to the presser?

Conor usually thanks everyone before he leaves.

I reckon he was feeling kind of **** at that point and actually had to leave due to roughness

I think he wants to get to alvarez before someone else does. He should defend first IMO and after watching that he'd take Aldo no problem, its the weight cut that gona be the hardest battle.

While Nate is getting his excuses in early and giving people to talk about whenever their trilogy fight comes around people ar moving on to Conor permutations re his next fight. I'd still suspect it'd be vs Aldo as at this stage it's kinda hard not to strip him otherwise given what has happened (Aldo vs Edgar) and what Dana has said etc but this might be a tactic for negotiations and a way to start the press for it by putting down Aldo.

I find it weird that he was so negative about leg kicks in the presser, that was what one him the fight imo.

I understand his leg is sore af right now..he's in crutches...but in the long run, his leg kicks will get better, more effective, hurt less.

I hope he keeps them up in the camps, they will keep many fighters at bay.

Just needs to pop over to Thailand and kick some banana trees and he'll be flying with them!

For sure he can't pick it up overnight but its better to be able to keep people guessing and not admit you give up on them.

Yeh for sure. Takes a while to get those shins hardened up though. My shins used to swell up like crazy after checked kicks now its grand.

Good point. So him saying that Aldos not interesting and he's done with leg kicks means he's going to leg kick the bajaysus out of Aldo in a few months time!

Lads if someone checks a leg kick or you're hitting their knees, no amount of work will stop that hurting. Fair play to him for not showing it in the fight, adrenaline is a hell of a drug.

Hell be limping for a few days but it's probably just soft tissue damage, I doubt he broke anything.

On the flip side what he has shown is if he has to use leg kicks he will or can and chances are they'll be effective too. I wouldn't worry to much about what he has said there.

I'm guessing he was just joking about '**** leg kicks, yeah', at least I hope he was.

Definitely makes it a bit easier to take after a while but at the end of the day its bone on bone thats going to hurt no matter what!

He is heading to hospital but considering he has said nothings broken and it wasa huge factor in him winning the fight he is hardly gonna just drop it from his arsenal he was just expressing how he felt while in pain due to them.
