Dana its gonna be pissed at Conor for throwing  cans at Diaz and his team, if only one of those would´ve hit anyone the UFC would get suuuueeeeeeed bad. I don´t think he would´ve give a **** that Nate left and they cursed at each outher and ****, that makes for good promotion, but risking the public or the press geting hurt?, thats serious ****.


fines I see fines everywhere.

The bottles thing just lifted the fight's animosity even more, the hype was dying down a bit but this just rose it to its maximum.

It was kind of silly, but I do actually think Conor is in a ****** place mentally, what with Nate beating him and more so the strained relationship with the UFC. 

We'll see if it matters Saturday night.

Prediction: wrong Diaz   wrong Submission   wrong Round 3  

Honestly, I think Nate got the better of McGregor at that press conference. McGregor had to have been aware of what he was doing when he was showing up late; the press conference would become "The McGregor show" and he would take any momentum from it.

Nate leaves early to steal from McGregor's limelight right back and starts cursing him out. Cue the water bottles and Monster cans. Nate and Nick do what they did for a lot of fights. Meantime, McGregor was about as pissed off as I've ever seen him. Usually, he gets his opponents to break mentally and laughs at them. 

Who knows (and we'll find out on Saturday), but Nate definitely seems to have the mental edge over Conor right now, which is something Conor almost has always had over his opponents. I can't wait for the fight.

There are so many ******s on Twitter and YouTube saying Nate looked like a punk ***** for leaving the press conference and that Conor shook him, what a joke. Like many of you, I saw it completely differently. I saw a brilliant strategy to get inside Conor's head more than he already is. First of all, Nate answered all his question, they were just going to ask Conor **** and they would maybe trash talk a bit, Nate's not about that and left like a boss. He left almost as soon as Conor arrived and it was a brilliant move, especially form a PR point of view. 

Why should he have to listen to Conor's **** when the guy is so far up his own ass that he not only think's he was dominating and almost had Nate put away (lol) but he arrives late after completely skipping out on the press conference last time. Second of all, Nate walking away and around talking **** from the back row and starting a ruckus made Conor emotional and show some of his insecurity. And the icing on the cake was barely throwing a bottle or two in Conor's direction that was no where near hitting him, Conor immediately starts to throw full bottles of water and cans of energy drinks in the direction of Nate and crew, subsequently hitting some lady is the rumor I heard. Nate is balls deep in Conor's head and I expect Conor to not only expend his energy trying to put Nate away, but failing and gassing out again. 

I expect Nate to finish with strikes on the ground or get the choke in almost the same fashion he did when Nate gets superior ground position again, because this absolutely will hit the ground again. I can a longer fight, maybe for it to go to the 3rd round, but Nate clearly has the momentum on almost every level. To see Conor at 40% here on tap after what happened last time is a bit strange to see. The dude is letting his ego get the best of him even wanting this rematch so soon, let alone at all. Nate is beatable but he's too durable, too tough, to experienced, to skilled overall, vastly better cardio and has more ways to win. Conor essentially needs to finish in a round or two again or he's ******.

Nate is in Conor´s head, and by that I mean inside his ass right up to Conor´s head, you could say Nate is screwing Conor´s brain up.

Conor is mentally shook.  I haven't seen someone lose their **** like that since Cormier and Jones before UFC 182.  That loss to Nate was a massive ego hit and it is still clearly bothering him.

I dont know if anyones brought this up, sorry if it has, but i remember seeing some sort of little study (i think it may of been on this site actually)on rematches in mma.  i remember the conclusion saying something like the closer a rematch is to the original fight, the better the odds of a similar result. does anyone else rememebr this or am i just trippin?
