Smart on both their parts. Nobody gets excited with 2 pals fighting. As much as i respect the DC - Rumble respect for each other, it doesn't translate into PPV's. There's footage of Cowboy having a bit of craic with Conor on youtube.

Beneath all the talk, i highly doubt Conor has a real problem with any of them. I could easily picture Nate, Chad, Cowboy and Conor in a night-club getting hammered and getting on great.

Cowboy is in a pretty good position to stake a claim for the McGregor fight next; especially if he demolishes Gastelum with another Street Fighter combo and gets on the Mic cutting a huge promo calling out with winner of Conor v Eddie later in the card.

A foreign fighter wanted to train at SBG and PM'd John and on the assumption that Irish people speak Irish first, slapped his whole message into google translator.

John, being like most of us forgotten half our Gaeilge, had to then use Google translator to get the thing back to English :pac:

haha thats gas. Reminds of the time I knew of a Chinese law student who learnt Irish before even arriving in Ireland, he had thought we all speak it daily. When he was here he realised his error but kept learning it anyway and became a fluent Irish speaker in no time. Then when he graduated from college the big law firms got into a bidding war to employ him as they all wanted to have the Chinese guy who was fluent in Irish in their firm !

Anyone know if JK has written an article for the 42 this week? iirc he usually writes a piece in the lead up to a fight talking about the camp and opponent

They've been dropping 1 minute youtube clips of him discussing various things but i'd assume he'll have his usual article out in the next day or 2. It's usually a week before the fight. Hopefully anyway! Ariel said he's in studio on Monday for The MMA Hour so that'll be a good watch!

slightly off topic but it reminded me of this:

good little watch!

The best thing about that awful video, is the oestrogen filled Justin Bieber crowd the audio was stolen from

Brilliant quote from Firas Zahabi in his latest 205 breakdown:

"Conor knows his left hand is the money maker. He knows it's his ticket. He knows it's the Death Touch. If he catches Eddie on the chin it's a done deal. If Eddie shoots, look for Conor to counter with the left. If Eddie throws a jab, look for Conor to counter with the left. If Eddie even blinks, look for Conor to counter with the left"

The Mac Life rap in this video sounds studio-produced by someone who can actually rap. Interesting. Wonder if that's why he was off hanging out with Jimmy Iovine of Interscope Records fame.

I haven't recognised any of the music in the videos, it all sounds like original stuff.....it's starting to get me thinking that he might be venturing into music somehow

Lyrics of "The Mac Life" rap (3:27 in above video):

"This is the Mac Life,
This is the other side,
This is what cash looks like,
When you're young in your prime,
The blood and the pride,
The face of the fight game,
The notorious they say my name,
I am a hype train,
Already legendary,
Right hand hospital,
Left hand cemetery
Bury everybody, any division,
perfect timing and precision".

That's all i caught from it anyway.

Smaller DJ's generally, you can check out their soundclouds under the videos. Some have produced stuff specifically for the Mac Life but this is nothing new, things like intros and outros, but they've been there from the start.

The rap song at the end about McGregor was something new. I hope he doesn't pursue it any further because it was sh*te. That's coming from someone who enjoys hip hop/rap.

Boom_Bap · 03-11-2016 09:58PM

I'm not saying that we'll hear McGregor bustin a rhyme or anything :P

Jaysus tough crowd.

As a song, yeah it's not gonna win any awards lol but for a VLOG it's actually really good and adds to the production.

And if the Youtube comments section are anything to go by then it went down really well.

At least he's trying something!

I actually like most of the other music on the vlogs, I find it suits it really well. Production aside I just found it incredibly tacky for my taste but sure those fans who run fanpages, comment "13 seconds" under Aldo's posts on Instagram et al will probably gobble it up

McGregor saying anything interesting?

Deadst4r · 03-11-2016 10:21PM

MAKE UFC GREAT AGAIN.

Gamebred · 03-11-2016 10:22PM

I personally think Eddie is taking Conor for granted.

.ak · 03-11-2016 10:23PM

Appreciate any paraphrasing... can't listen to it right now!

Not much being said, the Irish sun reporter causing phone interference has been the wildest contribution so far.

Eddie commenting that Conor struggled to beat Nate, a 155'er that has been beaten by all top 155 guys.

Conor refusing to say anymore about his announcement and repeating his will re-arrange eddies face. Very little interaction between the two of them so far.

.ak · 03-11-2016 10:32PM

Conor: I'm going to toy w/ this man. I'm going to really, truly rearrange his facial structure. His wife and kids won't recognize him again.

:pac:

EuskalHerria · 03-11-2016 10:36PM

Eddie offering Conor ellecution lessons...

Gamebred · 03-11-2016 10:36PM

Conor letting shots at Eddie for leaving blackzillians.

Mellor · 03-11-2016 10:41PM

So, as we were talking about walkout music, MacLife rapping, etc

wonderfullife · 03-11-2016 11:23PM

Don't care what anybody says - when you bring someones kids into it, it's going to make them want to tear your head off and fight emotionally.

I'm not getting into the amateur psychology i just know it's such a universal trigger.

Conor knows what he's doing. It's not very subtle but even the brief mentions of his kids and saying he's gonna re-arrange his face so his kids say "daddy please don't fight anymore"........right there that's gonna stick with Eddie for the next week. He's gonna wanna kill him.
