    Can't see nate winning.

    If he had more time to prepare then maybe. But I think he's jumping the gun to have his chance against mcgregor. Hopefully it will last more then 13seconds haha really want a good fight between the two.

    Punching the hand as hard as he did went too far but Diaz is far from a choir boy when it comes to messing around during staredowns so he can hardly complain about it.

    It’s like Conor being upset at someone saying something mean to him.

    I don’t see it that Nate is in Conor’s head or anything, he pretty much always takes some sort of swipe at one of the staredowns. Gotta sell those PPVs.

    As weird as it sounds, I think Conor was annoyed at not having the space to change stance with the way Dana was, and get right into Nate's face, and then lashed out at the fist in his face.

    He shouldn't have done, but I don't really care that he did it. Looking forward to the fight. A motivated Nate Diaz is far from an easy fight for McGregor. Hopefully we get a good scrap.

    Will Holm not be the final fight, considering that actually has a belt on the line?

    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 reckon Holme via ko can't see it going over 2 rounds

    Miesha will not be walking into shots like Ronda was,its hypothetical but if Ronda and Holm fight didnt happen Miesha would be a very hot favourite here imo,Her other wins in the ufc werent impressive Rousey player right into her hands with novice striking and no wrestling,


    Miesha is not a world beater but she can take a shot and grapple very decently I see this going to decision and Tate winning.

    Tate definitely has a better chance than Rousey did, she won't chase Holm around the ring.

    Also, she can take a punch so is a bit more durable it seems

    A real unknown is what shape Diaz is going to be in.

    Obviously he won’t be at the same level as if he knew he was taking the fight for months but between the rumour that he was training for a marathon/triathlon, that he was told by the UFC to stay in shape in case someone dropped out, his claim that he had started bulking up to move to 170, the effect of him not depleting his body by only cutting a small amount of weight.

    At least tonight we’ll get Conor’s wish of him taking off his shirt, which should tell a lot.

    I wouldn't get to cocky around shields if I was Connor!!! Jake could easily shoot for a double, take him down and transition to side control then to half guard then back to side control then probably back to half guard then ............

    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.

    Calling Diaz's finances into question too while he himself was singing from the rooftops he was on the dole before he made it. if he hasn't forgotten where he came from then why is he slating your man for being broke?

    Can he not just be the best fighter ( which he probably is ) and keep his mouth shut.


    And then this chap will have a tri colour thrown to him after the fight by the " Netflix and chill , cheeky nandos brigade" who flew over to watch him .

    I admire his athletic prowess, his discipline , his dedication to his profession but **** me he would give a disprin a headache.


    He has also inadvertently turned into the pied piper of Irish knobends.

    Conor really looking rattled in this interview can the in house experts break this encounter down.

    You can take the boy out of Crumlin but you can also take the Crumlin out of the boy.......I wouldn't be particularly a big fan of what he's coming out, more recently anyhow.....used to be quite amusing (some of it still is) but this talk about burying bodies in the desert and calling himself El Chapo, a Don and half a wise guy ......he's gone full Hollywood
