Interesting that there seems to be some 'issues' with getting Nick to corner Nate (words from Nate himself straight after the conference). I wonder what's going on with that. Also, I guarantee there will be no problems at the weigh in's, will be even less eventful than their last one.

Great to see Dillon trying to get stuck in to the 209 boys. Tell ye what, if they did a TUF season of SBG vs Cesar Gracie, that would be epic telly.

if conor wins there's a good chance nick will kick off like an idiot. best not to have him there.

Yeah will be interesting to hear (if we ever do) NSAC's reason for not allowing him to corner the fight. No secret they don't like him but he served his ban.

So has the mask slipped once again for McG?

Conor's favourite book is 'the secret' i.e. if you say it will happen it will come true. John Kavanagh tried to persuade him not to take this fight and has said that even this camp has been a learning experience. Do you think it's good to learn during a training camp or should you be sharpening a history of learned fighting skills?Conor is the greatest snake oil salesman who ever lived and we all get sucked in and we love him for it.

I think the ''small tension headache in the left side of my head'' is getting to him.

Classy move looking up my boards history. I won't be looking up your history, not interested plus that's just plain bad manners

Oh also the headache has cleared up but thanks for your concern it's duly noted and really appreciated, makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Just realised if nothing disastrous happens between now and Saturday night, it'll be the second time since January 2015 that Conor's opponent hasn't pulled out. That's a bit mad even for MMA these days and all the card changes.

I just associate you're name with Anti Megreggor chat. I just wanted to have a quick gander at you're post history to confirm my suspicions.

With all due respect, hat's not what you said in your message, no quote from past mcgregor posts just something about my current health.

I know it was mentioned before about how Diaz responds to questions regarding the outcome of the fight or game plan ( wishy washy ) answers and whatever will be will be attitude. My take on this is a lack of confidence on his part. Also when he loses it won't look so bad cause he never said he would beat conor etc etc

Sofiztikated

I don't think it's lack of confidence, but Diaz is there to compete. To fight. The winning or losing doesn't come into it.

Great video thanks for sharing

I'll be staying up Saturday and hoping Conor wins, I generally like him but I think he's playing a very risky game here.

I was annoyed at him being late fr the pressed again and actually agree with Dana White on this one it's disrespectful to everyone else involved in not only the fight but the ufc as a whole. Everyone else is on time and try the main event just bloody be on time and be a professional like toy say you are.

Dana is a rich man himself and yes conor makes the ufc money but I could see a scenario of conor losing this fight, going back to 145 where he doesn't really want to be and getting beaten by a much improved Aldo.

3 loses in a row and suddenly the act is gone could see Dana actually taking great pleasure in dropping him down the card if forced too..

What a nasty little prick Shields is trying that. I've never heard a good story about him. Speaking of which, ran into him in Vegas in December and asked him for a picture, looked straight at me and walked away, wouldn't even say no.

He's like that friend who tries too hard to be as "cool" as the rest, but no one has the heart to tell him to **** off they actually don't like him.

Absolute ball bag of a man, complete Diaz wannabe.

Just rewatched the first fight and the only way i see Conor winning is via desicion but he has yet to prove he can go for 5 rounds. I really dont want to bet on Diaz but I would have the odds flipped so the value is 100 on him.

Yeah he only managed 13 seconds against Aldo

Fox Sports saying that Nick is still suspended as he still owes 75k of the 100k fine that was part of his suspension deal. Because of that, he won't be allowed to corner Nate. I doubt he ever pays that.

He'll never fight in Vegas again if he doesn't pay it.

NAC is also a government entity so I would suspect they have other powers to recoup the fine. There’s also little to no chance the UFC lets him fight anywhere if the NAC still see him as banned.

McGregor via Submission

If Nick was still suspended then why was USADA testing him a few days ago?

Good q about usada testing, seems to be a bit messy.

I think there was a bottle of water behind the laptop he was reaching for but looked like he was grabbing the laptop (to throw, not steal), either way he's still a fewl.
