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

Yes because if he was clever enough to understand the gazelle joke he would have been beat mentally by crushing nature of it.

I think that was a scum move from McGregor. Really could cause an injury. If he stood his ground and not walked into Diaz's hand nothing happens.
He lost his cool at Aldo pulling the p*ss with the wide karate stance before.
It's still all part of the hype but punching like that is way out of order

and so what?
do we have to know what a gazelle is ?
Is that particular point a prerequisite to declaring we have some intelligence.

I think conor's mind games don't work cos Nate in his own words "doesn't give a fcuk" . simple as.

It will be interesting to see how conor gets on against a bigger opponent who can take punishment.

Still tip conor to win though

Easy Rod

Think I'll bail from reading the MMA forum until Sunday. Or maybe everyone could just not be idiots for a while? Yeah, probably not.

G'luck fellas...especially the mods!

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.

What are you trying to get out of your crusade about this faceoff scuffle? nobodys gives a **** about it your so wound up by McGregor its not even funny you'd swear he killed a child or something have you nothing better to do seriously?


Anyways I see Diaz's manager put a warning out to Irish fans saying they'll be slapped what a moron!


Nick v Conor will happen next year imo the revenge for Conor ko'ing his brother it will be build.

py2006

I think Conor is slightly rattled. He isn't getting to his opponent like he has with previous ones.

This right here what would anyone do in that situation?

Do what Lawler did, I'd find that more intimidating than punching a hand away

Gamebred

If Conor or Nate is rattled what is the word you'd describe Aldo as? he was mentally broken going into that fight months in advance I see this as completely different tbh I think theres tension there and thats about it,Remember Conor flinging hats at Brandao ect this is nothing new.

Funny how defensive you get when your nonsense is pointed out. The GIF shows that Nate didn't stick his fist in McGs face, something which you claimed.

What nonsense are you on about go back and read my post probably,I said Nate put his fist in Conors face,that my friend is a FACT,or are you disputing that?


You are praying for a miracle and Conor losing but once again this weekend you go into seeth mode when the goat ko'd an other body,its eats you alive try letting it go.

Gamebred wrote: »

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.

This is your post. Look at the GIF, Nate takes that stance and McG is the one that moves towards him.

In regards to fight, I have said multiple times that I see McG winning comfortably.

Mr. Manager

Who gives a shít? Christ.

Talk about the fúcking fight or fúck off somewhere else with your nonsense.


There's been very little talk about Holm/Tate. Anyone any ideas about this one? Is Holm a one hit wonder (no pun intended) or do ya reckon she'll get the job done again?

I think Conor was more annoyed that the fist was right in his face. Literally in front of his nose and eyes, blocking his sight. Different if it's down by your chin where most fists are during stare downs.

Either way who cares really. They probably just added another 100K PPV buys.

At the very start of the face off the fist is an inch from his face before Conor moves a muscle I'd class that as a fist in the face as I posted in the original comment,are you disputing that seriously?


Look embrace the guy your grandkids will be asking you about this legend,there is a lot of doubters with inferiority complex issues who get so annoyed by his antics in and outside of the cage,if he annoys you or anybody else so much why watch him? these people are putting money straight into his pocket by viewing everything he does making his number bigger and his pay bigger,


I absolutely despise many fighters,I dont watch their press conferences or come online posting about them,use your time productively my friend.

Yep you are. Tate is tough as hell but she is a punching bag and Holly will put her away.

Can't see nate winning.

If he had more time to prepare then maybe. But I think he's jumping the gun to have his chance against mcgregor. Hopefully it will last more then 13seconds haha really want a good fight between the two.

Foxtrol

Punching the hand as hard as he did went too far but Diaz is far from a choir boy when it comes to messing around during staredowns so he can hardly complain about it.

It’s like Conor being upset at someone saying something mean to him.

I don’t see it that Nate is in Conor’s head or anything, he pretty much always takes some sort of swipe at one of the staredowns. Gotta sell those PPVs.

Looks like 4-5am depending on the other fights. The coverage begins at 3.

As weird as it sounds, I think Conor was annoyed at not having the space to change stance with the way Dana was, and get right into Nate's face, and then lashed out at the fist in his face.

He shouldn't have done, but I don't really care that he did it. Looking forward to the fight. A motivated Nate Diaz is far from an easy fight for McGregor. Hopefully we get a good scrap.

Will Holm not be the final fight, considering that actually has a belt on the line?

I reckon Holme via ko can't see it going over 2 rounds

Gamebred

Miesha will not be walking into shots like Ronda was,its hypothetical but if Ronda and Holm fight didnt happen Miesha would be a very hot favourite here imo,Her other wins in the ufc werent impressive Rousey player right into her hands with novice striking and no wrestling,


Miesha is not a world beater but she can take a shot and grapple very decently I see this going to decision and Tate winning.

Tazzimus

Tate definitely has a better chance than Rousey did, she won't chase Holm around the ring.

Also, she can take a punch so is a bit more durable it seems

Foxtrol

A real unknown is what shape Diaz is going to be in.

Obviously he won’t be at the same level as if he knew he was taking the fight for months but between the rumour that he was training for a marathon/triathlon, that he was told by the UFC to stay in shape in case someone dropped out, his claim that he had started bulking up to move to 170, the effect of him not depleting his body by only cutting a small amount of weight.

At least tonight we’ll get Conor’s wish of him taking off his shirt, which should tell a lot.

I wouldn't get to cocky around shields if I was Connor!!! Jake could easily shoot for a double, take him down and transition to side control then to half guard then back to side control then probably back to half guard then ............

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.

Calling Diaz's finances into question too while he himself was singing from the rooftops he was on the dole before he made it. if he hasn't forgotten where he came from then why is he slating your man for being broke?

Can he not just be the best fighter ( which he probably is ) and keep his mouth shut.


And then this chap will have a tri colour thrown to him after the fight by the " Netflix and chill , cheeky nandos brigade" who flew over to watch him .

I admire his athletic prowess, his discipline , his dedication to his profession but **** me he would give a disprin a headache.


He has also inadvertently turned into the pied piper of Irish knobends.

You can take the boy out of Crumlin but you can also take the Crumlin out of the boy.......I wouldn't be particularly a big fan of what he's coming out, more recently anyhow.....used to be quite amusing (some of it still is) but this talk about burying bodies in the desert and calling himself El Chapo, a Don and half a wise guy ......he's gone full Hollywood
