    Nate was like a bold child in the principals office who was angry but hadn't the intelligence to string a decent sentence together

    Was that a slap or a punch? Looked like a punch to me?

    I dunno Conor couldn't come up with a response a few times. As close to rattled as I've seen him.

    That's why I think he hit out in the face off.

    I'd say McGregor actually hurt Nate's hand with that. He was feeling it when things started to calm down. Anyway I thought the fight would be close, but not anymore, Conor just got Nate emotional, and I can see Nate fighting too wild because of it

    Wouldn't be surprised to hear he's broken a bone in his hand.was some strike he landed in the hand and he was holding it afterwards.

    In fairness with the stance he was holding and his fist in McGregors face he was asking for it. It was actually preventing the stare down.

    Nate always does that and Conor has in the past too. Nothing wrong with, think Conor was pissed that Nate was the one doing it.

    Nate has a serious reach advantage, it's only 2 inches on paper but watching them at weigh in's it looks at least double that.

    Seriously though, what kind of damage would that have done to Diaz's hand? Look like a good of smack of the fist.

    I can understand him slapping it before the fight to hype it, and to piss Diaz off, but he actually could have damaged his hand no?

    Also what are the weigh-ins going to be like now? Will there be 4 body guards between them :D?

    I thought the press conferences were are little bit too relaxed, looks like McGregor took it up a notch :D

    So can we officially put the normal calm, Zen fight week Conor down to the lack of calories? He was definitely more animated than we’ve ever seen him during fight week in the UFC. I wonder if that will mess with him on fight night too.

    Wooooooooooooooow

    I think touching on the training partners is definitely a sore point. Way worse than the steroids.

    He is actually living the dream, and gives even less ****s than Nate. I think he still fights smart and not angry.
    Plus this scuffle will cause a lot more coverage and a few more PPV buys. And we know he likes money.

    Hope he doesn't take Nate lightly and get caught.

    We all wanted to see Conor v RDA but this is some replacement,rda would've been sat there with the personality of a potato in silence,I cant wait.

    I think he pushed and prodded at Nate to finally get a response.

    I think he expected Nate to sell the fight a little better, talk a little more ****.

    He has to keep at him before Nate will say anything.

    Usually at this stage Conor would be tied to a treadmill, not allowed a bite to eat a bite with John Kavanagh whipping him.

    Instead he's out starting brawls with Stocktons finest. Class.

    Yup can't see Nate standing up to Conor's variety of strikes.

    Will Nate feel confident to go to the ground if in danger? Conor clips him, Nate is rocked, drops to back inviting Conor into his guard?

    One thing I will say about McG he is incredibly calm and precise when finishing a downed opponent, he doesn't panic and leap in. I feel as though he always positions himself in a way that allows him to A) finish the fight and B) get back to his feet if he can't finish the fight.

    Glad that Nate is getting a giant payday.

    "Stocktons finest" just doesn't sound right.

    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.
