    Good reply..but it makes absolutely no sense, like the majority of the waffle you post.

    You come on here a few days out before every Conor McGregor fight talking absolute nonsense, acting like you know everything about everything in MMA/UFC/Conor McGregor related and attack every poster who has a different opinion to you. You are the definition of the people you are commenting about.

    Well since you're intent on dragging the thread down spouting crap, you can have a few days off from the forum. Don't post in the same manner when you return.


    Everyone else, just move on and post in a civil manner. Cheers.

    correct in many ways, lads in my job couldn't wait for Aldo v McGregor and didn't even know edgar cracked mendes that weekend, nor the significance of same beating....weren't in the slightest bit interested.

    All hail the mighty El Guapo. Great decision. I was actually going to post asking for that lad to be banned. Axwell was dead right, he comes in here a week or two before every McGregor fight spouting nonsense.

    How is it correct? injuries happen. It's not always anybodies fault or anybodies "stupidity". You don't have to have any interest in MMA to know this. Stupid to blame RDA. Bones aren't unbreakable. A kick was checked, broken bone. It happens unfortunately.

    Rusty hasn't mentioned injury. He's talking about McGregor fans v MMA fans.

    eh put the guns away there lone ranger!!!
    I mean in terms of "some" hangers on, only been interested in MMA or as they call it UFC, as long as there's an irish star involved!!

    I say some, not all, just some, hence correct in many ways!!

    The injury thing since you're on the back "foot". I'll quote conor for ya "I couldn't give a f*ck"..., I do believe they happen so what's your point?

    2 Things i wasnt particurlaly impressed with from that presser:

    1. Mcgregor saying RDA had only bruised his foot. Quite clearly broken no need to say anymore about it.

    2. After a reporters question about psychological warfare, Conor insists its all him, he only speaks the truth, that there is no mind games etc.

    Yet time after time when he says something way below the belt eg Siver Nazi, he insists he was only playing around. Which is it Conor make up your mind ffs.

    He clearly is playing games, its obvious for everyone to see. Why not just admit it. Lets face it if he really had the personality of being a dick , a lot of people would certainly think a lot less of him, Bringing an opponents kids into conversation just to score points against an opponent in a presser is scummy imo, as is referring to Siver as a Nazi etc. What im really trying to say is either be one or the other, not switch when it suits ya.

    ha ha ha hilarious wasn't it.
    like some lad in the pub back home in Dublin getting lambasted for welshing on a bet.. no one does viscous banter like the Irish!!

    on topic, anyone see this?

    Looks like the Diaz brothers are trying to get under his skin and get him to fight emotionally. They are trying to stand up to McGregor who winds all his opponents up. Nick posted a link to a video on his twitter to an Australian who insinuates that McGregor is on steroids but doesn't actually say that he is. Its most likely click bait tactics by the Australian as any video that mentions McGregor on Youtube gets many more views. It is also very possible that he is a friend of the Diaz brothers. According to the Australian guy every athlete is on steroids, every athlete. In his videos he goes through pictures of athletes who have been caught pointing out the tell tale signs. i.e Hair loss, No hair loss and ripped muscular bodies and not having ripped muscular bodies!! His method of identifying gets a bit confused and contradictory but he seems to be enjoying himself. He himself admits that he has previously used steroids an it looks like it has had a big impact on his head, particularly on his hair as he seems to have a a doss of mange. He also argues that elite athletes should live on 30 Banana's a day. Oh and for all those click baited who may also want t buy a book on how to live like a vegan for $5 a day then he has one to sell them.

    they guy lost credibility when I read AUSTRALIAN!!!!! not that there's any smoke or fire here anyway.

    he's a master at getting under people's skin. i don't think most people take half of the stuff he comes out with seriously, least of all himself

    Lone Ranger? Back foot? Come down off yourself there. You seem to have some feeling of superiority over me for some reason. No need to be a dick about it.

    Anyway, the post you quoted was 100% about the injury and he mentioned the hangers on in reference to the injury. Which you said was correct in many ways. But yeah I do agree with you in regards to some of the fans being like that but the post was about RDA pulling out and the injury not about fans being uninformed.

    Maybe by saying there is no mind games and thrash talk he is actually playing mind games and thrash talking ;)

    if you let your guard down in a fight, you'll get stung. same goes for how he goes about the build-up to fights and the press conferences and smack-talk and all of it. i have no problem with it. i just think he's very clever, and very competitive with his words as he is with his fists

    You obviously don't get it,if he admits its all just mind games then it ceases to become any use for getting under peoples skin.

    I hope Nate pockets a stupidly big pay cheque for this.

    I wonder is there a danger of Werdum/Fedor situation, Conor knocks Nate and jumps into finish him but gets caught.

    It reads superior if you've an inferior mind, otherwise it's half banter half point making. I didn't mean to be a dick and I read your above post as borderline lets agree we were both wrong so on we go.

    we're all good as they say in the states!
