    Two of them sound pretty wound up at this stage. Conor definitely looks angrier than I've seen him.

    Punching the hand was dodgy. Say there will be security galore at the weigh ins after that.

    Don't know what Diaz is making but I'd want $1m just to have to listen to McGregor for 2 weeks, stepping in the cage with him cost them extra. Listening to that **** drive me mad.

    How anyone barring the "we were born on the same land mass" swell of pride can actually like Connor, making fun of people because your socks cost more than their whole outfit, throwing a potential fight ending punch at weightins etc he really just comes off as a bit of a chav. Hope Diaz chokes him unconscious.

    Oh he punched someone's hand.

    Quick someone call the fun police.

    It's all to sell the fight, even Diaz is in on it. Try not let it bother you so much.

    What everyone seems to be ignoring is the EA Sports cover curse. I think it will have a big part to play in this fight.

    Full force punch to someones hand can easily break it. It was a bitch move. Why not slap it away? Have a shove? Both create hype without the potential to injure someone. Like i said i await somebody punching Conor during a staredown and hearing the same reactions.

    Yeah, because a hands not really important for a puncher/grappler anyway.

    What would you do if someone put their fist into your face?

    Would you stand there and take it?

    Are you joking, Connor always does that and no one tried to break his hand.

    Poor Conor was just defending himself. He can do no wrong. Deluded.

    Diaz didn't touch Conors face. Keep changing the narrative like a good McGregor Drone.

    Explain how you come to the conclusion that Diaz is a pussy and a bum? And the 'master of mind games' isn't working, Nate ain't bothered

    Conor was out of order and should be fined. He's done exactly what Nate did to others and they never reacted like that.

    Wouldn't be surprised if the ufc told the 2 of them to do something to hype it up more. Maybe the ppv isn't selling that well.

    Ah the blow ins have arrived you'd know its fight time


    Lads they fight in a cage for a living ffs they dont have to act humble and respectful if they dont want to,if you have a problem with their antics dont tune in vote with your feet im sure they dont give a rats if you dont watch tbh,


    I think Nate knows hes getting ko'd in this fight just from his interviews I feel he even knows his faith now,hes not making any threats or statements that hes going to win this fight in anyway,its an interesting dynamic as he puts no pressure on himself but its not very confidence inspiring.

    Humble and respectful =/= throwing punches. Trying to injure people before a fight is weak no matter who you are a fan of. If Diaz done that you'd be spunking in your McGregor Reebok fight shorts about Diaz being scared and how much of a bitch Diaz was for doing it.

    Agreed on paragraph 1 and 3 but.........do you not think him punching the hand was a stupid move? He gave it a fair whack. Could've easily broken it and could have jeopardised the fight.
