McGregor looks FUCKING HUGE

Looks vertically challenged face to face.

 

[Collateral22]

connor finally facing someone taller than him

I used to always think that mattered a bit until I seen Nelson absolutely destroy Struve lol

 

[Reg]

Connor couldnt handle those steriods accusations lol.

 

[pixelation]

Nate towers over Conor in size...

 

[Floex]

Does Nate even know what he's saying half the time?

 

[Dennis]

Connor couldnt handle those steriods accusations lol.

That was pretty funner.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

connor finally facing someone taller than him

Not only that but with a noticeable reach advantage.

 

[Tesseract]

Does Nate even know what he's saying half the time?

he's high AF all the time

 

[Collateral22]

I thought Nate looks way bigger, what is the height and reach?

5'9-74 v 6'0-76

 

[Obliterator]

I thought Nate looks way bigger, what is the height and reach?

Nate is taller with a 2 inch reach advantage. Conor's arms were WAY bigger though. He is thick as fuck right now if you've been seeing his posts on Twitter / Instagram

Not only that but with a noticeable reach advantage.

Its only 2 inch reach advantage.

 

[mekes]

McGregor looks FUCKING HUGE

Until he stood near Diaz!

 

[MrToughPants]

McGregor looks FUCKING HUGE

?

Looks like a skinny midget with imaginary lat syndrome

 

[Tesseract]

Capcom should sponsor this fight, halp sfv

I'm so stoked for this fight, how many sleeps ...

 

[ChosenPredator]

Nate can jab connor all day if he uses his reach right this will be a fun fight, im sure nick is going to want to fight connor too lol

 

[Pristine_Condition]

Connor couldnt handle those steriods accusations lol.

I thought he handled them really well, turning it into the fact that Diaz is on the team that has two steroid cheats, not him. Asking him if he knew his boys were on the juice.

Marble-mouthed Diaz was stammering like the drug-addled fool he is when Conor brought that up.

 

[-MD-]

I thought Nate looks way bigger, what is the height and reach?

Nate is 3" taller and has 2" longer reach.

lol
He is always flexing

The PPV wont work on launch.

5'9-74 v 6'0-76

Thanks, this has me so hyped I'm hoping Connor can get it done but I wouldn't bet on it.

Lol he's fucking huge for this fight

Well it is already missing one of the fighters that was supposed to be in it.

Its only 2 inch reach advantage.

Still a new ballgame from dos Anjos and a whole new one from Chad. Chad hit Conor a good deal, should be interesting to see how Conor reacts to clean shots by Diaz.

 

[Yaari]

Nate is a good striker but he takes damage. McG hits like a truck. It could go either way. Should be a fun fight.

 

[Heel]

Nate is taller with a 2 inch reach advantage. Conor's arms were WAY bigger though. He is thick as fuck right now if you've been seeing his posts on Twitter / Instagram.

There's a likelihood of truth behind Nate's accusations, which made the reaction even funner.

Chad is also a great deal faster than Nate and hits harder, too.

Don't get caught up.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Lol he's fucking huge for this fight

Looks stiff and potentially stuck in mud.

I disagree. You could see from his body language that he was very uncomfortable.

edit: also I don't think he's on roids myself.

 

[Obliterator]

Honestly Rafael should shut up, he has no room to say anything. I sympathize with him for being injured but he's the last man on the planet who should be talking trash

What?

 

[Ikuu]

He's right though, McGregor talks big but 2 of his last three opponents are on a weeks notice.

McGregor played medical doctor, everything is fair game.

First Conor presser?

 

[Sinatar]

Struve has absolutely no idea how to fight tall though, it's infuriating to watch him.

 

[Reg]

First Conor presser?

No.

 

[darscot]

Can't really fault him for that? He talks a lot of shit I'll grant you that but so far he has been able to back up his mouth.

 

[-MD-]

Can't really fault him for that? He talks a lot of shit I'll grant you that but so far he has been able to back up his mouth.

Probably can't fault him for Mendes too much but he admitted he hand picked Diaz when a fresher fighter (Cerrone) was in play.

 

[MrToughPants]

Lol he's fucking huge for this fight

"Looks like a skinny midget with imaginary lat syndrome"

That is not FUCKING HUGE...he's 5'9" (probably 5'8") and 170lbs

 

[Obliterator]

I know its fun to get caught up in the hype and everything but McGregor will win this, and it will be clean and likely very easy.

"Looks like a skinny midget with imaginary lat syndrome"

Ummm, his musculature is thick as hell. Since when is height the only metric of size? Most body builders are less than 6 ft.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Can't really fault him for that? He talks a lot of shit I'll grant you that but so far he has been able to back up his mouth.

He hasn't defended his title even once yet. He jumped weight with nothing on the line on his behalf. He's smart but it's going to catch up to him.

 

[Collateral22]

A guy from my town trains in SBG in Dublin and from what he has said they run a strict no doping tolerance for any of their fighters. This is switching from a gym in my local town who would turn a blind eye to steroid use, which in my eye is pretty much promoting it. Unless Conor is the only one in SBG to be on roids, which I don't think he is. John runs that well, it's his pride to see it do well and train people his knowledge. Very different style of approaching things than standard gyms. Us Irish take pride in things we are good at and accusations like that are bound to draw a reaction

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

You guys, I'm pretty sure Nate Diaz doesn't give a fuck

 

[Weckum]

This is amazing.

Conor is such an awesome heel, he is fake as fuck but so good.

Nate is legit angry, I love it.

War Nate tho.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Probably can't fault him for Mendes too much but he admitted he hand picked Diaz when a fresher fighter (Cerrone) was in play.

Who do you think at this stage has a better chance against Conor??? Cerrone or Nate??

 

[mekes]

Does Nate even know what he's saying half the time?

Yeah. He doesn't give a fuck?

Spoiler

He said that about 20 times!

 

[Obliterator]

It's funny and a lot of people brushed it off, but Nate actually kind of admitted he was going to lose 2x during the conference.

Who do you think at this stage has a better chance against Conor??? Cerrone or Nate??

Cerrone. Better takedowns to use his BJJ with

 

[Ikuu]

Conor not on any gear but changing weight classes every week.

 

[Collateral22]

Based on the fact Cerrone takes a round to get into most fight I'd say Nate.

Conor not on any gear but changing weight classes every week.

edit: 145 was a stretch, easy to tell judging on how he looked. 155 more of an easier cut. 175 is his walk around weight so 5lbs or so is much less stressful than either. Cannot see him ever fighting 145 again though.

 

[Hex]

I really hope this is archived somewhere because it got busy at work right when it started.

 

[alpinestars1980]

Yep. Kept talking lack of preparation and everything(which, to be fair, is true).

He'd get slept either way.
