    Its so Fake though.

    Look at the grin on Poirers face in this video. Keeps trying to look serious but cant.

    Conors just a better actor than Poirer.

    Nah, it's not fake. There's a grin alright but it's not a fake acting grin. It's the grin of a guy who wants to rip someone's head off.

    Fighters need to be smarter than to be letting Conor rile them up. Conor isn't riled up at all. When Conor is acting aggressive while facing off and looking to start the action there and then, he's just winding Poirier up. And Poirier falls for it. Once they're backstage, Poirier is angry and is probably wearing himself out in training every day thinking about how he's gonna kill McGregor. Meanwhile, McGregor is backstage eating blueberries and has his eyes on the prize!

    McGregor's the matador and Poirier is the bull! Poirier is gonna come out trying to hurt McGregor and that's exactly what McGregor wants!

    http://www.mixedmartialarts.com/news/447564/Conor-McGregor-rumored-to-have-a-hand-injury/ - injured hand? I know it was wrapped up in the embedded video. But surely someone would have seem this and asked him about it?

    I doubt it's anything more than the wear and tear all athletes must end up fighting with.

    i know this is the McGregor thread.

    But how intense is that Zingano chick. She'd straight up tear your head off. She is certainly someone you wouldnt act the eejit with!!!

    Huge pop for Conor at 14mins when Gareth Davies asks the fighters what they think of how hes acting etc. All 4 seem to like him especially Pettis.

    Loved the guy who asked that question getting no reaction to his joke after he brought up McGregor's name. Poor lad got his hopes up.

    Pettis, Hendricks & Gil all pick Conor to win, Robbie went with Dustin. Everyone outside of Conors weightclass seems to have alot of love for him!

    Anthony especially, I presume he appreciates how technical Conor is being arguably the most technical striker in the UFC himself.

    Conor is a big FW though, he could make the jump to LW easily

    John Kavanagh said recently that he expects conor to win the LW and WW belts in the future.

    I don't know how realistic WW is, even though in a recent photo taken when sparring with Gunnar, they looked the same size.

    I think Conor would definitely be competitive at LW though.

    No chance at WW, that's 25 pounds above Featherweight. Most of those guys probably walk around at 200+ pounds.

    Let's worry about FW for now.

    He placed a caveat on the WW title of it happening only under a special set of circumstances.

    Conor walks around 165-170 and Gunni at 175 so no doubt Conor looks near the same size as Gunni.

    I actually rhink Gunni's size will be his downfall vs the best of the best in the top 5 of WW which has really good wresters.
