    So can we officially put the normal calm, Zen fight week Conor down to the lack of calories? He was definitely more animated than we’ve ever seen him during fight week in the UFC. I wonder if that will mess with him on fight night too.

    That touch butt line is up there with some of the greatest disses in UFC history.

    Seriously though, what kind of damage would that have done to Diaz's hand? Look like a good of smack of the fist.

    I can understand him slapping it before the fight to hype it, and to piss Diaz off, but he actually could have damaged his hand no?

    Also what are the weigh-ins going to be like now? Will there be 4 body guards between them :D?

    I thought the press conferences were are little bit too relaxed, looks like McGregor took it up a notch :D

    It was a hand slap. Relax

    That goofball in the park Hahaha warming to nate big time. Still for Conor on the night, but nate is spot on about Portal. Ido Portal would definitely ride your moh.

    Wooooooooooooooow

    I think touching on the training partners is definitely a sore point. Way worse than the steroids.

    He is actually living the dream, and gives even less ****s than Nate. I think he still fights smart and not angry.
    Plus this scuffle will cause a lot more coverage and a few more PPV buys. And we know he likes money.

    Hope he doesn't take Nate lightly and get caught.

    I think he pushed and prodded at Nate to finally get a response.

    I think he expected Nate to sell the fight a little better, talk a little more ****.

    He has to keep at him before Nate will say anything.

    Nate always does that and Conor has in the past too. Nothing wrong with, think Conor was pissed that Nate was the one doing it.

    Nate has a serious reach advantage, it's only 2 inches on paper but watching them at weigh in's it looks at least double that.
    weigh in's tomorrow?

    Usually at this stage Conor would be tied to a treadmill, not allowed a bite to eat a bite with John Kavanagh whipping him.

    Instead he's out starting brawls with Stocktons finest. Class.

    Yup can't see Nate standing up to Conor's variety of strikes.

    Will Nate feel confident to go to the ground if in danger? Conor clips him, Nate is rocked, drops to back inviting Conor into his guard?

    One thing I will say about McG he is incredibly calm and precise when finishing a downed opponent, he doesn't panic and leap in. I feel as though he always positions himself in a way that allows him to A) finish the fight and B) get back to his feet if he can't finish the fight.

    Glad that Nate is getting a giant payday.

    "Stocktons finest" just doesn't sound right.

    Some weird trivia.

    Conor McGregor talked about replacing the Lion at the MGM with a statue of an Irish lion. The very first MGM Lion was born in Dublin Zoo. The first movie that the MGM Lion featured in was called "He who gets slapped".

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_the_Lion_(MGM)

    Read into that what you will.

    Full force punch on to Nate's hand is such a bitch move. Could have easily broke it. Lets see what happens when Conors opponents try to injure him during staredowns and the ensuing outrage.

    Such a big height and range difference.

    Not sure how this fight will go. Which is good!

    I don't understand the Gazelle reference. Gazelles are beautiful :)

    Oh, just watched a Fox Sports clip and Conor says "I just look at your frame and it reminds me a little injured Gazelle", oh lol, where does he get this from?

    I really hope he kicks ass out there.

    Well this was quality. Best line for me was when it went quiet and Nat just says .....I'm going to kill you. Sounded like a right psycho.

    McGregor went from playing touch butt in a park to telling a man to take his top off on national television.
