    he's on really thin ice with Nevada Athletic Commission.

    And at least 2 security guards have already spoken to journos saying Nick Diaz instigated the whole thing.

    He's also got his niece or some girl in his camp on snapchat saying Conor hit her with a bottle.

    (which he didn't)

    This could really escalate.

    This was a gimmick the Diaz brothers had pre-planned - but this could escalate into serious stuff now.

    I don't even think it's out of the question the fight gets pulled.

    I know it's unlikely but if Diaz lies (about the kid) spread, and police step in, this could get all shades of ugly.

    This is such a ridiculous post.

    The fact that he held GT, the head student of the Danaher Death Squad to a draw is crazy.

    Fair enough he never looked like tapping Gary, but being able to neutralise Gary's leg attacks is impressive in and of itself.

    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.

    The IMAC is decision is based on the sport not the press conference, This kind of stuff has nothing to do with MMA regulation.
    It's also not on the radar of the Joe Duffy Brigade.

    Heres a close up of Nate. As if it wasn't already clear, there was no bottle to be seen

    I've just caught up on 100 posts, so maybe missing the context. Apologies in advance if thats the case.
    But are you being sarcastic, or actually saying that he didn't through a bottle in that clip (@14 secs btw)

    You really think so? I was the opposite way.

    Garry was the underdog going into that fight. The general consensus was that they had equal leg lock skill but Palhares was so much bigger and stronger. Palhares had generally faced a higher level of opponent in nogi (at ADCC for), and leglocked them all just as much as GT.

    The fact GT didn't get Palhares'd was a huge first of all. But the be the attacker was surprising.


    On a realted note, did you see Gordon Ryan v Keenan at the weekend. Kid is insanely good and just turned 21

    This is Nevada. If someone is saying a kid got smacked in the face by a Monster Energy Can from the highest paid star in the UFC then that's police/lawsuits.

    Meh carry on.

    This 100%.
    Galvao can to escape a couple of heelhook along the way to the win


    Palhares was top dog in the leg lock game for years.
    Garry was the one with something to prove coming into that one imo.

    Gary had been tapping the best grapplers in his weight class for a few years before the polaris match was set up. He was favourite to win going into it.

    My favourite part of that match was Gary locking in a Triangle, Palhares picking him up to powerbomb him and Gary letting go straight away like 'nope.....nope nope nope.

    Back on topic, i look forward to scrolling through pages of news first thing in the morning, as long as the 209 boys relax themselves until at least the fight is over.

    How did the pantomime crowd get into the press conference singing the 'walking in winterland' song. Nate walked because there were disrespectful people sniggering and booing which is fair enough at a press conference. Conor was the one who lost control in my eyes. Nate looked big, conor looked like some kind of golf dad in that polo shirt.

    Nate walked when Nick gave him the signal to walk.

    It was pre-planned. Nick wasn't in the auditorium until he came in to tell Nate to roll.

    Conor lost control because Nate lobbed a bottle in the direction of his woman and team.

    The best grapplers in EBI, Metamorris, Naga, 5ive etc are a level below ADCC imo. Garry HH's everyone at EBI, but he's lost to the best guys he fought at the bigger comps. Kron, Keenan twice, Vinny, Lepri and Diniz twice. He's never realised his potential at NoGi Worlds or ADCC.

    Palhares had the better ADCC record.
    Importantly, beating everone in his weight class is one thign, Palhares was a weight class or two above.

    I don't remember any where listing Garry as the favourite, most people wanted him to win, which is completely different. But I don't think there was betting available, so "favourite" is fairly subjective.

    Nate does look a bit bigger than in previous fights. Really can't wait for this now. Whatever the result it's going to be an epic fight.

    Starting to lean on thinking McGregor decision. Think he can TKO him late especially if he goes to the body in the earlier rounds.

    The distance Conor keeps is the deciding factor in the fight for me. If Conor is able to avoid Nate's counter strikes I think he wins the fight. I don't think Conor will march forward as prominently in the last fight and think he can do damage and score points with counter strikes himself. I'm intrigued by after he has a full camp how he handles Nate's reach advantage.

    Jesus christ I can't bloody wait.

    Entertaining stuff, roll on Saturday.

    More handbags and stupidity in this thread than at the presser.

    Just watched the conference now having read through a several pages here first. The way some were going on I thought there was an all out war between the two camps and then I get let down with a few plastic bottles and cans. It really was handbags and nothing more. People saying Nate has gotten inside Conors head over handbags must be on a wind-up or something coz I saw no evidence of it whatsoever.

    Roll on Saturday :)

    What time is the fight at?:

    Yes, I can see that now watching the embedded video, it was obviously planned and a good move, deprive conor of the mic. Conor thinks he controls the press conference by being late but Nate flipped the script.

    McGregor can't win. If he does nothing, he's a pussy. If he retaliates, they're in his head.
