Nonsense.

He walked out, and then when McGregor just mocked him he got upset and his 'gang' (jesus what the **** was that all about) started throwing ****.

It's baffling that people still think this kind of stuff 'gets under McGregor's skin'.

Dana looked like he was about to cry. I don't know why, this little stunt will probably generate a load of extra ppvs.
McGregor has some balls showing up late not giving a damn. It reminded me of the brave lad in school who never did homework and got away with it every time.

Dana looked pissed because if either of them get injured or get arrested the fight is off.

He out McGregor'd McGregor, definitely see Nick's fingerprints on that one, got to say I enjoyed it as it brought about an end to a pretty boring press conference

As Nate walked along the back he said to them: "..fcuk all you Irish mother****ers" that was the point at which Conor said shut your mouth to him.

You can hear it in this clip at around 50 seconds in:

I completely, 100%, disagree.

Diaz and his crew were not doing that for show. They were ready and hoping it kicked off between the 2 crews. Nick and Jake are always looking for a scrap.

Conor couldn't sit there and laugh it off. When you get into true fight-or-flight mode with the adrenaline pumping and believe you're about to be in a fight, you have to react.

Nate threw a bottle directly at Cian Cowleys head (of SBG) to kick that off.

Is that Dillon first in line, beside Peter to try and get up to the 209?

Nate kicked off the whole thing. Conor reacted to having cans thrown at his head. That was all Nate and Nick.

True. Did any cans land, McGregor was aiming cans into a crowd with cops or else security guards in it?

Worth noting that Conor was also there with his "gang" and it was his "gang" that started throwing bottles. Which is when Nate threw a bottle back at them.

Nate has been left living in Conors head since he beat him up on his feet, made him panic wrestle, passed his guard, smashed his hips, took his back and mercifully took his neck instead of causing permanent damage.

Wishful thinking it seems to me.

Here's McGregor as Nate was walking along the top mouthing off:




If anything Conor not giving a crap about Nate's walkout and him bad mouthing him over the mic saying he would do nothing, got under their skin.

yep. Dillon was on the frontline.

I actually would put money that Dillon will be in Conors corner alongside John, Owen and Ido.

Taking Artems spot.

They seem to be really close friends now.

please watch the clips again.

Nate threw the first bottle.

If you can point me out a time on a video that proves otherwise go for it.

I saw a bottle fall short of the wall just before Nate fired back in several videos.

Exactly, which is why they started throwing stuff. They couldn't handle that he just laughed at them.

Bunch of ****ing kids.

I feel for Glover though, McGregor took his water

Oh come on.

Had he just sat there and smiled or let himself be ushered off by Dana initially, the McTap crowd would have said he was a coward.

He got stuck back in and told them they would do nothing and nothing is precisely what they did, apart from throwing stuff like kids and fair fcuks to Conor for fcuking stuff right back.

Sorry, just that's not how I see.

Should've just stood up, and waved cheerio whilst laughing at their crew. They'd go ape. Let them stain themselves. Diaz would've left pissed then, now he's leaving with a grin on his face.

Tbh, Nick Diaz is the only person who comes out of this looking half smart.

He was the one smart enough to get Nate to leave, as a **** you to Conor showing up late.

He didn't throw any water bottles, he stood face on to the SBG team giving them the fingers and dodged a bottle coming straight towards his head.

All childish ****e, but he looked the best out of everyone.

It's dockyard antics like this that make the IMAC look justified in not wanting Mma to fall under its auspices. and when the hand wringers and Joe Duffy listeners see this stuff it reinforces their illegitimate preconceptions of the sport.

McGregor lost it. That wasn't 'mocking'.

This is mocking.



I'm firmly in the McGregor camp btw, that's why it's disappointing.

Yes, because stuff like this would never happen at other fighting sports, like boxing for example.

Well apart from when you have Tyson Fury showing up as Batman.

Nonsense. Did you see how he reacted when they walked out and started doing the whole 'hold me back' routine ? He laughed in their faces, the right response. It's only when they started throwing **** that he went over the top.

Diaz started insulting his camp before that too.

If I read some of the comments here they'd expect McGregor to just sit there and smile and nod ?
