    Watched it again there, at 3mins.50 seconds Dustin throws two punches which miss, Conor's movement to avoid them is absolutely incredible.. Such a pleasure to watch

    Think he got tagged as he was pulling away from Dustin's straight left. That was when he chipped his tooth :P It pribably wasn't too hard as he was pulling away from it at the time but he still got tapped :P

    But I agree. That fight was beautiful. Conor is putting fools to sleep in mins. It's amazing to see.

    Interesting to see Rousey and Jones react to him. Also Rousey is pretty easy on the eye

    It's not american twang. Us irish talk awful fast sometimes, dja know what i mean. Conor slows his speech down so he's easily understood, he probably does it naturally in front of the camera now

    I think he's just forcing a clear pronounuation of every syllable. Gives it a funny twang if you are used to hearin theboyos from Ballygobackwards blubbering away.

    Ah now, he does put on a little bit of an American accent when in the us. I'd say a 10% setting kicks in.

    But slowing his speech makes sense.

    Come on! He says "my man" all the time like he's greeting his homies from Compton. Not the biggest deal in the world but denying it is a bit strange.

    Can't wait for the Siver Fight!

    You have to change how you speak overseas or people won't know what your talking about. A thick dublin accent would need subtitles in the US. Fortunately Conor has the cop on to talk the way he needs to, to be understood.

    And this!

    I have a comparatively mild accent and people in the UK frequently can't understand what I'm saying! He's just annunciating more clearly. How anyone thinks he has an American "twang" is beyond me.

    You never heard him say "my man", like some rapper?

    Hey lads, wondering if any of you could help me out as I am trying to get this drawing I did of him signed. It's not a high hoped request that it'll happen but if I never try I'll never know..or something like that! I've tried tweeting him but with the amount of followers he has theres not a chance he will see it, does anyone in here know him or know someone that could get a tweet out that he would see?

    (I'm expecting to be told to feck off..but thanks in advance! :))

    Would put it on his facebook over his twitter to be honest, it will get more likes and attention there im sure. Not that it would mean hes more likely to respond to it but worth a shot and its a good drawing so why not show it off anyways.
