Nate fully deserved that punch in the hand

[JoshR86]

Example 1 JDS's fist is damn near touching Mirs chin

Example 2 Nate's 2 fists in Bendo's face and Bendo didn't react like a retard like Conor

Example 3 this guys fist is actually touching the face of the other fighter

Example 4 Andersons hand is also right next to Weidmanns chin

Example 5 again damn near touching his chin..

Semantics dude, however you want to spin this to justify Conors ridiculous reaction to make him look like he was right for hitting Nate's hand is all good but you and I both know what's going on..

Actually your wrong, just because those individuals didn't react to it doesn't mean every individual has to bahave like there counter parts.

Also Nate fist was *in* Conor's face, very different from you posted

 

[skysolo]

There is actually a difference, yes there arms are extended, but the fist isn't *in* there face, both guy are able to stare at one another, rather then have to stare at a fist

This last pic is larger and clearly shows how close JDS's hand is to Mir's chin

Lol, you're trying too hard. Listen to the people. None of the fists from these pics are obstructing the opponent's ability to have a fair eye-to-eye face-off with the other fighter.

 

[That209]

I can fully understand why you and anybody else would believe that. I wouldn't appreciate somebody sticking their fist in my face either. But striking your opponent in any way at a press conference should be handled with strict action.

I don't actually care about him doing it or anything. It's a fight, emotions are running high and again, I wouldn't want somebody sticking their fist in my face either. I'd slap it away, too, but I figured that if you actually punched your opponent, whether it was in the hand or not, would be something that you'd actually get in trouble for.

Nothing will come if, though. It's Conor McGregor. He can do that. Now, if it was Nate who punched Conor's hand, he'd probably get in trouble for it.

 

[Ceez]

Why are you talking about semantics? What Diaz was doing does not happen often at all. Post a picture of a fighter placing his fist purposely in front of his opponents face, obstructing his ability to see or have a proper face-off. Those pics I was referring to were obviously not like that. Diaz was playing a little game with Mcgregor and lost.

LOL I think Diaz won actually cuz he knows he's in Conors head. Simple psychology really..

I can give you a definition of semantics if you want to see it. You can try to justify Conor's actions but answer me these couple of questions..

Did Nate touch Conor?

Is Conor a professional fighter and did he act like a professional by punching Nate's hand?

Would Conor be happy if Diaz has a broken hand and the fight got dropped from the card and he didn't get a payday?

Has Conor acted outlandish in the past and does he have a history of pulling stuff like this?

You can't say no to a single one of those questions, your Honor I rest my case

 

[jayonajetplane]

They are about to beat each others brains in. Why does a little love tap register?

there are a lot of brittle bones in the hand. i think the issue is that conor overreacted and could have potentially ruined this fight by throwing a hard left into the back of someone's hand

 

[unimackpass]

did you not watch conor literally walk into diaz's fist? are you blind or just dumb?

No doubt. This is crazy shit.

 

[HelpYouFall]

"I have never ever seen a guy put his hand close to a man's face during a staredown, this is uncalled for, don't get in my boy Conors personal space."

Seriously, STFU OP.

 

[JoshR86]

Again you're screaming semantics and this happens all the time whether you want to admit it or not. If Nate didn't touch Conor, Conor had no right to touch Nate period. Act like a professional and don't let Nate know he's in your head because in essence that's exactly what he did.

Your quick with the pics, where's the pics of guys with there fists in the other ones face, not with outstretched fists, but with fists literally in the guys face where he can't even do a staredown??

It was Nate who was unprofessional, they got up to do a staredown, and Nate instead of doing a staredown puts his fist in Conor's face, so he's looking at a fist rather then his opponent, super disrespectful and unprofessional, you do something like that against a guy like Conor your gonna get smacked.

 

[unimackpass]

Conor is standing his ground. Diaz is the dummy with his fist outstretched 8 feet

Oh please.

Lol, what? My point is that the examples of fighter face-offs you give where fighters have their fists raised to the side or below their opponents faces are nothing at all similar to Diaz placing his fist DIRECTLY in front of McGregor's face obstructing his opportunity of having a fair face-off. Can you comprehend what I am saying? Deal with that first. I'm not justifying McGregor's actions here. I'm pointing out that the examples you give aren't similar to what Diaz was doing.

 

[haraigoshi]

it is normal
but i wonder if it was the other way around how many threads would be in the front page calling Nate a Thug and asking for his head for touching McGs magical hands.

Hands are not THAT brittle. People are exaggerating.

 

[Ceez]

Oh please, look at the video again tough guy. Nate has established his ground and was standing stationary, Conor kept moving forward aggressively. Were both guys aggressive yea but Nate never touched Conor with his hand. Puh-lease dude. You're another one of those justify anything for my hero types. Bottom line is this is a profession numbskull, act professionally. As long as Nate didn't touch Conor he has no reason to touch Nate period I don't care what Nate did save that shit for the octagon

 

[DaveHilly]

I'm fairly certain that's what a face off is....

 

[Ceez]

Lol, what? My point is that the examples of fighter face-offs you give where opponents have their fists raised to the side or below their opponents faces are nothing at all similar to Diaz placing his fist DIRECTLY in front of McGregor's face to obstruct his opportunity of having a fair face-off. Can you comprehend what I am saying?

Yea totally, can you comprehend semantics? I'm looking at this from a non-bias position. Not a fan of either fighter I just want to see a good fight with both fighters uninjured and ready to go. You keep trying to defend someone hurting someone else when nothing warranted that action. Again I didn't see you answer any of the questions but I'll keep it simple for your simple mind. Did Nate touch Conor? If the answer is no then Conor had no reason to punch Nates fist bottom line..

 

[cheesus]

You must be new to MMA cuz that shit happens all the time and not just in MMA. They put their dukes up and photographers take pics to promote the fight. Thing is most guys have a brain between their ears and realize this is a profession and act accordingly. If Nate's hand is injured and he can't fight and Conor doesn't get a replacement on 2 days notice u think he's gonna be happy he missed out on a payday? You've got to think before you react especially when there's no fight to be had for 2 more days.

I can do this all night..

Congrats on making TS disappear

 

[fight4ippon]

Mystic Diaz did it to predict tha fight. He saw his left hand was a twichhin' so he predicted he would charge in too early and capitalize on it.

Also , is it too late to change my SN to Mysic Diaz??

 

[Ceez]

Congrats on making TS disappear

Simply a ridiculous thing to say bro(TS). This is sherdog though so I guess we have kind to come to expect dumbass shit on a daily basis right rotflmao

Lol, you aren't listening. I'm not defending anyone. I'm not saying that what McGregor did was right OR wrong. I'm just pointing out that the examples you've given aren't what Diaz was doing. Just recognise this. There is a difference between what Diaz was doing with his fist and what the other fighters were doing with theirs... Can you admit this? Can you admit that Diaz was purposely attempting to obstruct McGregor's opportunity at a fair face-off?

How McGregor responds to that is a separate debate.
