It's ridiculous that it has to be said but trash talking doesn't win fights.

[Not A Real Fan]

Neither do witty lines.

Or designer clothes.

Or endless hype.

None of these are skills that makes one a more well rounded fighter.

Yes, Nate looked lost during those press conferences. Conor "owned" him.

It didn't mean shit tonight.

But next year shertards will be worshiping the new Zuffa hype boy as if the Ronda and Conor exposures never happened.

on a scale of 1 -14 how sure are you?

Can't lie... if he sold a rolls-royce and used the cash to fly a legit BJJ coach out to ireland, then spent the time rolling instead of playing with pool noodles and fancy guns, this could have been a different night lmao.

eh, talk shirt nao motherfucker lol

 

[Bmurray]

You can absolutely beat people mentally beforehand.

The Diaz brothers just don't get enough credit for their mental strength.

This fight was finished on the ground, but Nate won it on the feet. Extra BJJ training wouldn't have helped him even a little bit.

well that was the first thing i thought of when nate had called him out. You cant really put a dent in them that way. They dont care about talk,that dont mean shit to them. It def got to aldo. Conor took on like 5 people at the same time at that presser in talking. In any case conor has some amazing skills to back up that talk. Just not on the ground.

ok then a wrestling coach lmao. Either way, the point remains. MacGregor's only way to improve his chances in this fight would be a to be a better fighter. Touch butt and sick burns can't get it done lol

 

[ineverpost]

It sells them though

 

[QcChopper]

Yup, and it makes you look like a first class heel when you lose.

 

[613]

It can at times. Aldo clearly fought emotionally and uncharacteristically vs Conor due to the trash talk. Ali used to fuck with his opponents heads before fights also

 

[Thepaintbucket]

You do realize the Diaz bros are some of the biggest trash talkers in the sport.

 

[soulsstealer]

It does make you a lot of money tho.

I completely agree about the shit talking not being something that will work, especially now. It just seems that a lot of people are saying that Conor lost this fight because of his grappling. He lost this fight because he got beat standing. His takedown attempt was because he was rocked, tired, and basically done. I'm just saying that his grappling ability had nothing to do with him losing.

It sure makes you rich, an it makes red panties rain, though.

if the homie knew how to execute a takedwon or pull guard, he might've survived long enough to recover

Its more like a lack of IQ than "strength"
