    So you think its less the show man McGregor and more the human McGregor, thank you.

    I can't decide myself whether it is still just him trying to unsettle Aldo, who he may think would still be expecting the brash, loud mouthed McGregor or genuine, hopefully it was.

    I know there is respect there regardless of what he says but it would be nice to see him show it before the final bell for a change :)

    Or he could actually be nervous underneath and it was a slip of the mask:)

    And in case you need even more hype and buildup…
    Joe Rogan is broadcasting his podcast live starting soonish with Brendan Schaub guesting: doing a preview of the weekend's fights.

    Just saw "After the conclusion of the season, it is revealed that Rogers has been removed from the tournament finale due to a legal issue. The UFC selected Team Faber’s Ryan Hall as a replacement to face Lobov in the finals.".....

    What happened there?

    He lied on his visa application so it wasn't granted.

    What's he playing at and why are they allowing him so much influence?

    Ha me too. He's so creepy just seems to be there all the time…
    I'm hoping that it's all just a piece of pre-fight theatre :D
    If Conor wins we're gonna see Ido impersonators everywhere for at least next 5 UFCs :eek:

    I know he's not really a problem and I'm sure John Kavanagh and mcgregor have slightly more knowledge on how to prepare for a world title fight than I do... Buuuut at the same time, all those embedded videos with the dancing on the beach and all kind of got the alarm bells ringing

    Agreed.

    No need to change style or anything. He just needs to stick to what he does best.

    i'd love to know what John Kavanagh thinks of it all, i'd say hes not one bit impressed but he also knows what side of his bread is buttered.

    He will be ridiculed no doubt whatsover, should he lose. Purely for all the dancing around with Ido, and crawling around the octagon and spouting about human movement.

    I think alot of that preparation is helping him mentally rather than doing anything to give him a physical edge. That kinda sh*te doesn't make the difference in elite MMA. Of course theres no harm if it gives him confidence he needs to do the job.

    The overreation to Ido is hilarious. He's just there for stretching and loosening up. It's ridiculous to think he's part of the actual fight preparation beyond that.

    Yeah exactly, was brought in to help with mobility and conors obsession with movement and it just looks like they've struck up a bit of a friendship
