Another Hardy insight that I thought was insane - Conor threw almost the same volume in Diaz 1 than he did in seven finishes in the UFC. Crazy stat.

Of course, also stands testament to Diaz taking a good smack.

Yeah that stood out to me aswell. McGregor fought a terrible fight that night. That's exactly how you don't fight a Diaz brother.

Yet he still went on to give the same message their t-shirts say.
He's all about that stupid religious shït.

Let's not go down that route of bashing other peoples beliefs..you have yours, others have theirs. Religious discussion belongs elsewhere on boards. Back on topic.

When does McGregor get to Vegas? Usually he's over there for weeks before getting ready.

Point taken. But, to sound like a child, I didn't start it.

He was delayed heading out due to getting treatment on a foot injury.

I do believe he's had metal rods put in his feet to help stop the takedowns.

He thought he was untouchable going into that fight.

Just land a left and its game over.

Got a big wake up call that night. Made him a much better fighter.

Nate was a massive bookies outsider as well, not many thought he had a chance.

Sure Nate was 9 feet tall and weighed 345 pounds and shot lightning bolts from his bollocks.

Conor is going to be on the Helwani Show tomorrow evening. Khabib also. Can't wait for that. Seems random for Conor to be on this as he has done virtually no media in the last year

They have a special relationship.

Aye, one in which the questions will be pre-screened and 90% will be about his new clothing range and the whiskey! :pac:

Poor aul Khabib, there's something I like about him and I'll feel for the chap when he gets embarrassed and knocked out next Sat

It is the case that 229 can't be purchased via UFC's website anymore in Ireland? I am with Sky so just want to be able to order the fight but my mate was telling me the only way is to buy BT for a minimum of 2 months.

If his training partners are lighting him up like that in sparring, then one can only imagine the damage Conor will inflict on this over-hyped bum.

Effects · 30-09-2018 8:59pm

It sounds like he's taking it personally. He might seem like he's still quite relaxed and level headed, but based on his words, McGregor is getting to him.

Yeah the Eir Sport package which is the only way to get BT Sport is the only way to get UFC 229

It's free with Eir broadband though, maybe you might have a relation with eir broadband who has no interest in sport and you could get eir sport through them for free, all you need is their account number and you can then get it for your Sky box or use the Eir Sport app with a Chromecast

Eircom_Sucks · 30-09-2018 9:28pm

He seems rattled

Usual interviews for previous fights he is all smiley and respectful etc , he seemed very tense and annoyed

Honestly mate you are just boring. Obsessive hatred for a person you don't know is a weird trait.

Anyways, McGregor and Khabib both on Helwani tomorrow.

If he's that bruised up this close, I'm just hoping there isn't a last minute injury.

Alf Veedersane · 30-09-2018 9:33pm

McGregor seemed rattled before Diaz 2 when the presser went South. But come game day, none of the pre-fight shenanigans seemed to affect his game plan.

Khabib is showing more emotion about McGregor than other opponents but I can't see him letting it affect his game plan. Or at least I can't see how the show of dislike for McGregor is really translating into him getting mind-f*cked into fighting in a way he shouldn't.

pastorbarrett · 30-09-2018 9:45pm

Looking forward to fight week mayhem. Any predictions? Has to be a sham melee at some point. Also Ali to instigate some ****e or other. Should be fun.
