    I have heard nate's manager now come out with the steroid accusations.

    Surely it is getting under his skin especially judging by his reaction in tho press conference.


    He may have liked them but that could easily change when someone starts throwing accusations around like that.

    I agree, if it was me id clean me teeth with em now. I'd give em no respect, why would ya, they're all waiting to dance on em the second he goes down so he should go in as hard, fast and strong as humanly possible and put fear up the ranks, if that's what he wants to do.

    any less and they'll be lining up to take a shot at em.

    Nates coach says he thinks McGregor is on steroids in this video.


    But he also says it would be possible for Nate to make 155 in a week (while currently walking around at 171) but that Conor must be on steroids if he was planning on fighting at 155, but can now make weight at 170.

    says it around 8 minutes.

    Don't understand how people associate Conor being defensive with being guilty. The conversation has clearly started about whether he is in roids, and the only reason that conversation came up is because of Nate. He associated his name with roids and now many fans are convinced he is on them. Thus, impacting his image and impacting his achievements.
    The Diaz camp are obviously playing Conor at his own game,trying to get inside his head.
    He took the bait at the press conference.

    There's getting inside someone's head, & then there's out and out slander. I don't think Diaz is inside Conor's head at all, I just think Conor reacted to the steroids comment with surprise and rebuttal, which is a completely normal reaction. I've no doubt that Conor will fight with a clear head, stick to his plan, & do what he does come fight night. The red mist will not descend :)

    On my phone so can't check if this is new but

    Take a look at @UFCEurope's Tweet: https://twitter.com/UFCEurope/status/704295068761354240?s=09


    I wonder if we're getting an Inside the Mctagon this week instead of Mcbedded? Maybe on short notice replacement (and presuming they've had the usual Diaz non media stuff) they've had to put out a different/shortened show

    This is nothing compared to some of the vile disgusting comments that mcgregor has come out with against some of his opponents. It's great to see him getting a taste of his own medicine for once.

    I'm looking at ways to watch the fight on Saturday. I don't have BT Sport unfortunately. Does UFC fight pass get all major UFC fight nights/pay per views? I'm considering signing up for it for 6 months if it gets me UFC197 and UFC200 aswell.

    The steroid comments are stupid, you'd swear he had put on 4 stone. He had been starving himself at 145 and has put on maybe 5-10 lbs moving up. It's funny hearing people cry 'slander!' though lol.

    Yeah considering all Conor has said its all fair game,he can't really complain of someone going to far.

    But Conor hasn't complained. :confused: At least that I've seen that it.
    It's a bit silly to attribute posters crying slander to him tbh.

    He pointed out that the "everyone on steroids" includes Melendez, and asking him if he knew about it was a pretty smart way to shut him up.

    Nate's probably the only one who hasn't failed a drug test at Cesar Gracie's :D:p

    Jesus your nitpicking at what i said cmon man,i was just saying Conor fans/Conor can't complain,i didn't accuse Conor of complaining or anybody,just saying with all that he has said,not much is off limits as regards trash talk back at him.

    I wasn't talking about your post specifically. Just everything as a whole on both sides, people talking about slander, others complaining bout Diaz, whoever can't complain.
    "He reacted" it must be true, def on steroids. 25lbs weight jump. "He's put on 70lbs" (actual quote from an MMA fighter).

    I just thing the whole thing is bizarre.

    Has there been anyone who has headlined 3 PPV's in 9 months before? Obviously Conor is doing out now, if he headlines UFC 200 too that'll be 4 in a year.

    Thats a very good question ....... so WTFs it doing in this thread? :D

    You mean the man who's apparently holding up the FW div may fight 4 times in a year but the previous champ took 2 & 1/2 years for 4 fights? :eek::eek::eek:


    Back to the question, RR probably, maybe? PPV cashcow(just a cow to some people), Champ so headlined most of the events and was finishing opponents so early(& not taking damage) she had a pretty quick turnaround for a lot of fights.

    I remember Rumble's headlined 3 events recently(vs Gus, DC & Bader) but he did fight someone else between DC & Bader and think all 4 fights were a little over a year.
