Besides being a great fight, at the UFC 202 main event, i was mostly impressed at how brutally honest McGregor corner was. After Rd 3, the main guy (too lazy to look up who it was) waited a bit for McGregor to catch his breath and then calmly said sth to the extent of "He got the last two rounds". Took some time in order to let that sink in and then pointed out what Conor should do (clinchwork etc) but made no mistake of saying the usual BS "You da man", "Wooooh", "you rocked him" and whatnot.
Then soon after that, they switch to Diaz corner and you hear is "All heart, baby". I don't know if that's helping Nate, but i know for sure it wouldn't to me.
And Rd 4, Conor comes out swinging, completely different fighter than i Rd3. Composed, strong, back to the gameplan.
Just my two cents (wow it's been a long time since i started a thread in the heavies).
Anyone else noticed that? Any other examples of corner-men being brutally honest with their fighters?
EDIT: Seems i'm wrong and misheard the sentence (and placed it between wrong rounds). I'm not one to shy away from my mistakes. My posts are bad and i should feel bad. Mea culpa maxima.
