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.

Yeah possibly but he couldnt let Nate get away with putting his fist in his face so you cant blame him reacting,maybe he overeacted but who cares no damage was done its all what if's.

It will be very interesting to see how Conor gets on with a guy his own size. How he'll get on if Diaz actually catches him, if he'll just brush it off like he did against the smaller lads.

Now he's thinking about fighting Lawlor. It shows just how much of a joke it is him fighting at 145.

This right here what would anyone do in that situation?

Not his size, quite a bit bigger and he uses his boxing range pretty well. Conor will need to use his kicking game well, and I imagine he will.

I'll just post this Gif again. Plenty of room between his fist and Conors face, until Conor steps towards it. There is a reason Gamebred posts a still instead of a Gif...

It is amazing how so many stare downs go down like that without punches thrown. Slap the hand and pushing it away is pretty common.

Licking his hand would have been the power move here

Hazys · 04-03-2016 01:50PM

I think Conor's mind games aren't working as well as it did against other opponents mostly because Nate is too stupid to understand it or let it register in his brain.

Hilarious at the end of that segment Nate askes "what's a Gazelle anyway? This is America" Conor had basically been calling Nate and his team Gazelles all week, Nate had no clue what that was in reference too or why it was insulting

Is he actually any good? I've love watching the brother fight but I've never seen Nate. He's lost 10 of his 28 fights

DIAZ round 2 KO

Prelims 1am, Main Card 3am, McGregor about 5

Ugh. I somehow thought it was earlier. As a casual fan, I'm not sure I can do the whole 5am thing again after Aldo lasted 5 seconds.

Yes because if he was clever enough to understand the gazelle joke he would have been beat mentally by crushing nature of it.

evil_seed · 04-03-2016 02:01PM

I think that was a scum move from McGregor. Really could cause an injury. If he stood his ground and not walked into Diaz's hand nothing happens.
He lost his cool at Aldo pulling the p*ss with the wide karate stance before.
It's still all part of the hype but punching like that is way out of order

and so what?
do we have to know what a gazelle is ?
Is that particular point a prerequisite to declaring we have some intelligence.

I think conor's mind games don't work cos Nate in his own words "doesn't give a fcuk" . simple as.

It will be interesting to see how conor gets on against a bigger opponent who can take punishment.

Still tip conor to win though

Think I'll bail from reading the MMA forum until Sunday. Or maybe everyone could just not be idiots for a while? Yeah, probably not.

G'luck fellas...especially the mods!

What are you trying to get out of your crusade about this faceoff scuffle? nobodys gives a **** about it your so wound up by McGregor its not even funny you'd swear he killed a child or something have you nothing better to do seriously?

Anyways I see Diaz's manager put a warning out to Irish fans saying they'll be slapped what a moron!

Nick v Conor will happen next year imo the revenge for Conor ko'ing his brother it will be build.

py2006 · 04-03-2016 02:21PM

I think Conor is slightly rattled. He isn't getting to his opponent like he has with previous ones.

Do what Lawler did, I'd find that more intimidating than punching a hand away

Gamebred · 04-03-2016 02:26PM

If Conor or Nate is rattled what is the word you'd describe Aldo as? he was mentally broken going into that fight months in advance I see this as completely different tbh I think theres tension there and thats about it,Remember Conor flinging hats at Brandao ect this is nothing new.

Funny how defensive you get when your nonsense is pointed out. The GIF shows that Nate didn't stick his fist in McGs face, something which you claimed.

What nonsense are you on about go back and read my post probably,I said Nate put his fist in Conors face,that my friend is a FACT,or are you disputing that?

You are praying for a miracle and Conor losing but once again this weekend you go into seeth mode when the goat ko'd an other body,its eats you alive try letting it go.

This is your post. Look at the GIF, Nate takes that stance and McG is the one that moves towards him.

In regards to fight, I have said multiple times that I see McG winning comfortably.

Mr. Manager · 04-03-2016 02:38PM

Who gives a shít? Christ.

Talk about the fúcking fight or fúck off somewhere else with your nonsense.

There's been very little talk about Holm/Tate. Anyone any ideas about this one? Is Holm a one hit wonder (no pun intended) or do ya reckon she'll get the job done again?

I think Conor was more annoyed that the fist was right in his face. Literally in front of his nose and eyes, blocking his sight. Different if it's down by your chin where most fists are during stare downs.

Either way who cares really. They probably just added another 100K PPV buys.

At the very start of the face off the fist is an inch from his face before Conor moves a muscle I'd class that as a fist in the face as I posted in the original comment,are you disputing that seriously?

Look embrace the guy your grandkids will be asking you about this legend,there is a lot of doubters with inferiority complex issues who get so annoyed by his antics in and outside of the cage,if he annoys you or anybody else so much why watch him? these people are putting money straight into his pocket by viewing everything he does making his number bigger and his pay bigger,

I absolutely despise many fighters,I dont watch their press conferences or come online posting about them,use your time productively my friend.

Sorry to ask but what time is the match on Irish time! Fecking great man best of luck to him...

Yep you are. Tate is tough as hell but she is a punching bag and Holly will put her away.
