    So fighter uses their best bits in their own promotional video? I'm failing to see how this is newsworthy. You'd have to be a right fcuking moron to expect anything else

    Not surprised Conor edited the footage to make him look better.
    The video was published by Lee Dunphy apparently. No idea who that is though, or if he is editing on behalf in Conor in any sort of officially capacity.

    The only thing I can think of is some boxer lads slagging Chris that Conor bate him in sparring leading to the statement about how it was edited footage. Mac Life....new docu series about McGregor...of course he is going to show the best bits. Very strange for your man to come out with that.

    He's not thinking straight after the pasting Conor gave him in sparring.

    No there's not. He could have been dropped ten times in the footage we didn't see? 6mins of sparring in the video

    I don't think this happend, but you can not say he held his own in a heavily edited 6 min clip. Even in the clip, he walked right in to some heavey shots

    I notice in the clip he got caught with the exact same shot that Diaz wobbled him with, he even turned side on into it again, almost like a reply of the Diaz punch,

    I remember your man milking his coverage at the time and being real smart arse about the sparring paying back handed compliments so I find it funny Conor released this to piss him off good enough for him.

    Sure Nate said ages ago on the MMA hour Chris was talking **** about him, I'm surprised its taken this long to get any sort of coverage.

    I think a spell in a boxing gym would do him well to iron out some of his problems/holes,there aint loads tbf), if hes making the same mistakes in them videos he hasnt learned, a good pro boxing coach will iron them out,thumping ar-tem around sbg a few times a week or even sparring amatuer boxers wont cut it in the rematch on the evidence of the first fight.

    Nobody is saying it was a 50/50 session. A pro boxer is leagues ahead and the fact he landed any of the stuff in the highlight clip us noteworthy. You simply don't catch an elite guy like that by accident.

    What fight were you watching? 90% of the fight was contested on the feet.
    The idea (largely propagated on Facebook) that he lost because of his white belt jiu jitsu is was a load of bollox.

    Totally agree he lost it standing and Diaz is a good boxer but hope all this isn't taking away from other areas in his training and not just trying prove he's a better boxer than Diaz and for the whole Mayweather farce, He'd be better off working on keeping his distance and cardio.

    He had the better of the exchanges before he got rocked. Caught Diaz with some lovely shots. The better man won the fight but the re-match can easily go either way imo.

    Class vid of Conor rolling with BJJ legend Chris Haueter. However i heard this video is edited to show Conor's rolling highlights, the dastardly bastard.

    Diaz is a better boxer, and beat him at boxing.

    I do agree though that for MMA Conor's boxing isn't a problem

    Wheres this boxing grappling obsession coming from?
    Hope all this isn't taking away from other areas in his training and not just trying prove he's a better boxer grappler than Diaz...etc etc

    If McGregor goes back to his steak diet for the next 48 hours surely he could step in for Jon Jones right?!

    Yeah, I reckon he beats DC too, and eventually becomes a 4 weight champion

    Then he goes on the "eat nothing" diet and takes on mighty mouse to be all conquering Conor.
