Who else can't wait for the trash talking IN the cage?

[ditchbankbandit]

This is one of the things that excites me most about this fight. Conor talking shit, Nate talking shit and flipping Conor off, them both beating the shit out of each other. This is gonna be sweet.

 

[Hans Gercmiov]

Yes I'm looking forward to this. It was my favorite part of Nick vs Anderson.

 

[Xuro]

I agree, it is really going to be something.

.... No that's pathetic, I'd rather see them actually fight but Nate will probably expect points for trash talking

 

[ninja boot]

so lemme get this straight... you're the most excited for them to talk to each other. interesting.

Nate via broken ear drum

 

[MayhemMonkey]

I think the shit talking between them in cage will be almost as fun as the fighting lol

 

[IBack666]

What if they just talk shit for 5 rounds and hardly land anything on each other? That would suck ass!

If Conor tries to pull a Condit (vs Nick) or a Silva (vs Nick), where hes moving around the cage and picking his shots (easy route of victory for Conor but I wouldn't expect him to do this), expect some crazy antics from Nate. Maybe he lay down like Nick did, there would be no danger in doing that either as Conor wont follow Nate to the ground.

It's going to be very interesting.

I'm so looking forward to seeing these two brawl, AND I'm so looking forward to Conor's reaction to Nate flipping Conor the double-bird.

 

[AKA_Steve_B]

is there a referee stoppage due to excessive tongue lashing ? - I'm pretty sure the Diaz's both think there is some rule scoring points for this.
..And as funny as it is at times, I wish they'd both just hit more / talk less while in the ring. Their W/L column would look very different ...

 

[threelions]

No I want to see fighting in the cage.

 

[billharford]

I hope Nate does some shit talking, if nothing else to show that he's not already mentally defeated like most of Conor's other opponents

 

[Micsterator]

A part of me thinks (maybe) Nate will be all business, hyper-focused on securing a big W. Is it possible? Yes. Probable? Won't go quite that far, but I won't be shocked if we see a slightly different Nate.

It's illegal to trash talk in the ring (although it's rarely enforced.)

didn't know that, although I figured there must be some kind of etiquette rule. Do you know of any fights where it has actually been a factor?

 

[2DUM2TAP]

Trash talking your opponent is against the rules. Shut up and fight. I'd rather see two guys hug at the beginning of every round than sit and taunt each other for five rounds.

 

[NobodyNothing]

I hope Nate just points a finger at him. Like in his last fight. That would get under Conors skin more than talk.

I hope he points in his face after he lands his "sloppy" boxing on McGregors very hittable face.

I can't think of a single fight where a point has been taken but I vaguely recall refs telling people to stop. Maybe someone can name a fight.
