very good.

This press conference is hilarious already!

Jheez Nick Diaz is gettin pissed in the background. Conor is verbally destroying Nate.

As for never losing a round.. how about when he should've lost the fight to Tibau?

Yep. Right on.

i like nate diaz. both the diaz brothers as it goes. but conor mcgregor is going to bust nate diaz. badly.

I wouldn't say that is much of a compliment. Diaz is a fornicating idiot, both brothers just say the same shit and people applaud them for their trash talk which is really just something along the lines of I don't give a fornicate who he is I'll beat the fornicate out of him etc

Dana White is also a fornicating pudendum, throwing Edgar/Aldo whoever else under the bus saying they didn't want to fight McGregor well no shit it's 2 weeks notice one guy is injured the other guy is out of shape and its a 5 round fight. I believe in a rematch Aldo could beat McGregor but not while he is unfit. McGregor has that kind of power that once you're tired it doesn't matter how badly you're beating him he is going to put you to sleep.

I didn't mean outsmarting him, that wouldn't take much. I mean he was really going to town on him. The stuff about being a loco gangster who teaches kids on a Sunday, gun fingers with your right hand, making balloon animals with your left. I thought if Conor was ever going to be slightly intimidated, it would be here. Wasn't sure how either of the Diaz brothers would take what Conor had to say but Nate didn't seem too riled.

I can see a fighter beating the crap out of that blowhard Dana White one day. How he's treated Frankie Edgar is disgusting. I love the UFC because the fights you wan to see happen regular but Dana White is a complete piece of crap.

"I didn't ask. They called repeatedly, for months," Diaz said.

"So, congratulations to you, motherf-----. I'm the show."

I enjoyed the presser. I thought both were funny. Should be a fun fight. Cnor predicting 1st round late KO.

However, the stuff Conor was saying about no weights is a bit ridiculous. And at this point, I honestly can't tell if he's serious or not. Imagine him fighting Jon Jones.

Anyone got a link? I got bored of MMA for years; but since McGregor entered the mix I'm interested!

Dana should have explained why each guy could or would not take the fight I agree. Aldo talked a lot of crap and wanted a rematch badly and he is not in shape to even take a fight at 155? He should be in shape or be able to take the fight IMO. That is his profession. It is all he does.

I think Nate is going to win this fight by submission. Does anyone know if this fight is 3 or 5 rounds??

Main event will be 5 rounds

I think Nate is going to win this fight by submission

What have you been smoking? I want some.

We will see I am going out on a limb I know but McGregor is moving up 25 pounds for this fight you do realize that right? 25 pounds that is a lot. I just smell a weird one about to check in here. We will see I could be wrong.

Definitely not out of the realm of possibility. If it somehow gets to the ground, I can see Nate wrapping his long limbs around Conor and subbing him. Nate's submission game is top notch.

6-1 on Nate winning by submission, same on decision for Nate too.... that's a pretty nice bet.

I question Nate's condition coming into this bout, though. For a 5 round fight ready Nate, I'll take those odds in second.

I don't see a fighter striking White, but I would not doubt he gets sued for libel in the future.

The comments he makes about fighters while throwing them under the bus can indeed impact their potential earning power when they test the free agency market.

Short notice fight. Will Diaz get nicked for smoking pot?

Fight is in two weeks. It takes four weeks for it to get out of your system.

Seems like a great way to protect Conor's record.

Diaz wins via sub, but fails a drug test. Thus, the fight becomes an no contest.

Everyone gets paid and Conor's record in the UFC is still undefeated.

Also shows you how much Conor cuts to make 145.

I assume he fights at 170+ by the time he gets into the cage even when he fights at featherweight.

Diaz is also coming up in weight. It's not like Conor is fighting a huge welterweight like Hendricks, who will weigh 195 come fight time.

I imagine Conor will be fighting what he normally does when the bell rings. He just doesn't need to look emaciated come weigh-ins.

Yep that is what I was thinking. He is so much longer. He is going to have a reach advantage and his sub game is top notch as you said.

Diaz has already fought at 170 by the way. McGegor has fought nowhere near 170 in his career.
