    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!

    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.

    somebody has way too much time on their hands

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    Would you stand there and take it?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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
