ieswideopen -Culinary Union Delegate -It's a fight, not an after school debate.ieswideopen - Verbally scarred Nate? GTFO!
He could have hurt him worse with words than his fists. Conor is razor sharp and Nate has a borderline IQ
MountainMedic -All very true. Conor seemed like he genuinely respected Nate.hawgchao - His shit is as lame and vapid as that shirt that was mistaken for an elchappo get up. It's hard to get a word in when half the world is on his nuts cheering for every piece of lame and unoriginal jabber jawed Kanye styled wwe promo word the guy speaks and his handlers are so busy sabotaging your mic they cut three "udduhs"Even Connor was over it, he was having a hard time staying in character. He kept laughing, he kept the insults light and playful. He even told Nate to ignore some dumbass in the audience and another time told one of em to settle down.
So fucking gay
He paid lots of compliments, and they didn't seem insincere.
Could actually be the right strategy. He's not really giving Nate a reason to get mad.
ix3623 - i've met and spoke to conor. the guy is a different person behind the camera..a nice guy . he is just hyping fights. he respects everyone but he uses trash talk to get in people's minds and doubt themselves because of the pressure and to hype up the fight. good for him. eventually it will come to an end. at least he's getting paid. everyone knows if you talk big, people are going to want to watch someone shut you up. and in the meantime you get the guys who love his antics. after he beat aldo, if you listen to him on the mic after the fight and during other post fight interviews, that is the real him. humble, etc... i don't think nate will stop him with such a short training time. i think conor is smart enough to know that if he has to fight someone, fight diaz who hasn't had a camp unlike cowboy did since he recently fought. he wants to take the easiest route before getting a title fight. now he can say, hey, i beat a guy at 170 so now i have a reason to fight for the title since i fought a guy at 170. that is the reasoning for it being 170 from what i heard. even though diaz isn't a true 170 pounder. it is all being set up for conor and he is part of the people pulling the strings. looking forward to the fight, but nate will be tko'ed, he won't hurt conor in my opinion standing up and conor isn't going to go to the ground with him. i doubt nate will try to because of his pride. i am pulling for diaz but i think conor will win by tko round 1 or 2 by liver shot and finishing punchesI've heard through PVZ the exact same thing about CM off camera. Hyped up fights always make for the most exciting fights. CM knows this, and exploits it as he should.
I'm a fan of how Conor is handling this, that said I want Nate to finish him to see Danas giant head deflate.
theINFAMOUScarpe - Eh, Connor kept playing the little brother card. Wouldn't call him by name, kept referring to him as Nicks little brother.Setting up the brother fight.
That said, he's a fan of both
Of course he respects both the Diaz brothers.

It seems as though CMs hype game is all an act, where as the Diaz bro's are just real to who they are. Either way, stoked as hell for this fight.
War Diaz!

Fold me like one of your lawn chairs -I like the candid one off interviews when his guard is down. That guy is respectful, insightful, and a true student of the entire game.ix3623 - i've met and spoke to conor. the guy is a different person behind the camera..a nice guy . he is just hyping fights. he respects everyone but he uses trash talk to get in people's minds and doubt themselves because of the pressure and to hype up the fight. good for him. eventually it will come to an end. at least he's getting paid. everyone knows if you talk big, people are going to want to watch someone shut you up. and in the meantime you get the guys who love his antics. after he beat aldo, if you listen to him on the mic after the fight and during other post fight interviews, that is the real him. humble, etc... i don't think nate will stop him with such a short training time. i think conor is smart enough to know that if he has to fight someone, fight diaz who hasn't had a camp unlike cowboy did since he recently fought. he wants to take the easiest route before getting a title fight. now he can say, hey, i beat a guy at 170 so now i have a reason to fight for the title since i fought a guy at 170. that is the reasoning for it being 170 from what i heard. even though diaz isn't a true 170 pounder. it is all being set up for conor and he is part of the people pulling the strings. looking forward to the fight, but nate will be tko'ed, he won't hurt conor in my opinion standing up and conor isn't going to go to the ground with him. i doubt nate will try to because of his pride. i am pulling for diaz but i think conor will win by tko round 1 or 2 by liver shot and finishing punchesI've heard through PVZ the exact same thing about CM off camera.

I concur
Nick Diaz still GOAT -Nate helped pave the road Conor is walking on right now. Guys like Nate roughed in this whole business. Now Conor gets to come in, finish the job and take all the credit, but at least Nate gets a little credit. It's been a long time for him to get his payday.Culinary Union Delegate - He got Nate the payday of his lifetime and a 4 fight deal. He even praised him at the presser and agreed to fight at 170.
Conor could have verbally scarred him, but he was being nice, it was like picking on a special ed kid. "Acting like a cholo gangster then going for a bike ride with the elderly. Gang signs with one hand, balloon animals with the udder." was the worst he did
Conor did a solid for his fellow fighter.
Nate's got some judo and great BJJ.
I hope he's not just there to roll over. He looked shook at the presser.
I kind of agree, although the teaching JJ to kids and biking with the elderly didn't even seem like a put down until the second time he started spouting it.
I was like what do you mean teaching kids jj is awesome.
Android app sucks. If you accidentally touch someone's screen name, it quotes them if you make a comment. Even if you navigate to a separate page.
this is a great fight
fucking psyched
