    Tommy Toe Hold was on the ball a week ago seeing as Woodley and McGregor
    are sniping at each other.

    Obviously he has little in his prepared script to answer with. I dont think this is anything but eddie throwing words.

    Surely "Oh no, your wife has told you" would have shut Eddie up and brought the house down.

    Bingo would have nailed him.

    Or bring out the old "yer ma" stuff. i.e. "has yer ma confessed then?".

    Conor does have quick-witted reactions most of the time. The steroids stuff with Nate Diaz, he had a great comeback about Gil Melendez and Jake Shields. Or the Jeremy Stephens incident. He can wing it without relying on pre-thought-out stuff but he definitely missed an opportunity there.

    He's at his best with the quick witted stuff. Don't really enjoy the rehearsed lines myself, sounds too forced.

    Regardless of whether you love or hate him, the reality is he puts himself under pressure to out-do himself and there's only so many times that'll work. It's when he's relaxed and flowing he's at his best.

    For example, he 100% in my opinion rehearsed the "gun signs with the right hand and animal balloons with the left hand" line. It worked (barely) but it felt forced. Whereas his "Nate can only count to 5" comment cracked me up and was all quick-wit.

    Yesterday he 100% rehearsed the "I'm a f'ing pimp, rocking all white Gucci mink, and without me, this whole f'ing ship sink" line. And it fell flat in the Presser. Whereas when he started talking with Eddie about his basketball shot on the Fox Sports show, it was hilarious.

    I'd say the pressure is all internal too - trying to live up to his promises to break the 2 million PPV record etc. It probably worked, in the sense that the amount of mainstream media who covered that Eddie incident and who will now cover the Woodley 'incident' - it all translates into more PPV buys.

    Just personally much prefer his non-rehearsed/non-planned stuff.

    i honestly don't think any of the smaller guys can hang with conor, he just hits too hard and too often. it takes a bigger man like diaz to give him a proper fight.

    I'd imagine Conor will add around 10lbs of water. Alvarez certainly looks like he carries more water weight so more than 10lbs for him but how much more I'm not sure.

    Way more than that surely? Didn't JK say Conor weighs ~165lbs for a FW fight? Pretty sure he tweeted that before. Someone will have that picture handy.

    I don't think he'll be much more than that in the ring.

    If 165 is true for FW, then I imagine about 170 for LW.

    Are people turning on McGregor? Lots of negative Reddit MMA threads and comments on him.

    Anyone know why Wonderfullife was banned?

    Reddit has always had a healthy dose of anti-Conor threads. It completely swings when he wins his fights though.

    Didn't realize he got banned?

    that tyron woodley exchange is on youtube now with audio and it's literally nothing. there's obviously a bit of tension but conor shoots em a look and says wats up, dats it. it only looks worse because of the expression but it's funny. woodley doesnt even look em in the eye and runs off..worth a giggle though
