    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.

    I've seen a slowmo gif of it from a good angle and McG hits his hand with the bottom of his close fist...if that makes sense?

    Honestly, I was worried about it when it first happened (check my old post if you can be bothered), thought he actually might have injured Diaz.

    I thought he smacked the back of Nate's hand with the full force of the front of his fist. But the gif that I saw (and I'll try and find it), he hit him with the bottom of his fist...near Conor's wrist...if that makes sense? Like the fleshy part of his fist, not the full on blast of his knuckles


    Like if you were going to slap someone with your palm but instead closed your fist. Not as bad as getting a whack of the knuckles, full on

    Statistically Irish begrudgery of McGregor comes from outside Dublin....probable statistical fact :P

    I note your tongue in the cheek but there is an element of that. I note in my place of work that Conor bashers are non-Dubs. Most Dubs (myself included) hear his accent on the world stage and can't help feel a sense of pride.

    Hi WarZ, I'm sorry - I know I quoted your post but wasn't specifically aiming my criticism at you. I was trying to make a general comment on the negative posts about Conor.

    Stay jealous, stay hungry, it is a fuel.

    There have been people buried in the desert for less. If I am hungry I will feast on your carcass as your little Gazelle friends look on helplessly through their cages you little Twerp.

    Jaysus paralysis by analysis. Conor was out of line, as his biggest fan I will admit that.

    How deadly would this all be if McGregor wasn't such a tube

    Does anyone know if Conor had that surgery over his right eye? He mentioned after the Aldo fight that he was going to get a proper job done on it over the Christmas break.

    What are peoples opinions on Ido Portal?

    Hipster spoofer who will be found out or strength and conditioning guru?

    I dont like how much influence he seems to be having on Connor's training sessions?!?! hes sparing with him for **** sake.

    Hardened Man, don't ever bring jealously into my opinions again. I am a very successful man. My self and other successful people have felt jealously our entire existence. And still very much feel it. I understand the feeling of begrudgery. It is a feeling deep in my blood.

    Dear WarX
    Your Hypoxcity annoys me. Your entire existence is normal at best. Like the next man.! The way you write just generally says you think your better than everybody else!!
    Yours sincerely,
    The guy that's going to kick your Ass!

    I always assumed he did this so the mainly American press and fans there could understand him.

    He has to talk to market himself and his fights, no point in talking of no one can understand him.

    Tbf to Portal, have you ever seen any of his videos? He can do some crazy ****. Supplementary to the fundamentals, it can only be beneficial no?

    If you're ever on the soccer forum you'll know not to pay much attention to that one.

    Conor said himself he loves to constantly learn new things and new diciplines - I find what Ido does really interesting. Im sure if he was a spoofball someone in the camp would have called him out.

    He has arms like oak trees too!

    But I presume when conor gets a new toy (fad - dicipline) he will be off on that! and the movement thing will be just a regular part of training but without Ido.

    For sure I can't argue against your logic. But you have to admit...Conor should not have hit Diaz's hand that aggressively. Thankfully Diaz isn't the type to make a big deal out of it!

    +1 I like the Ido thing. It is a real mind over body type of thing. A bit hippyish but so what. It shows Conor understands that ultimately, it is his state of mind that wins. His body defers submissively to his mind's commands.

    McGregor roasted him I thought. Nate can only count to five:D:D

    McGregors patter was all over the place. Nates fat skinny frame?!? Stockton is full of rats, and then I've never even heard of Stockton. If he's never heard of it how does he know it's full of snitches??
