    Anyone watching the press conference? I missed the start of it, but looks like Conor's not even there lol, wtf...There's an empty seat next to Dana where I assume he's supposed to be.

    *edit* Conor's running late I guess..

    Holy s--- @ that ending lol...All of a sudden Nate wasn't in his seat and I wasn't sure why, then Conor and Nate start yelling at each other from opposite sides of the room as Nate was walking away. They keep yelling and talking s--- to each other and then eventually start throwing bottles from 50 feet away at each other before Dana ends the press conference lol.

    best believe the satellite interviews they'll most likely do tomorrow are gonna blow this fight out of the stratosphere lol. It looked like a bottle was thrown at Diaz and their guys first. Not sure if Conor's team instigated it all in some way or what

    I was wondering if it was staged at first when Nate was walking out but then I saw the fear in Conor's eyes. The Diaz's and their guys wouldn't do any scripted s--- either. He'd obviously throw down if he had to and was fine throwing bottles from a distance but you could see that s--- in his eyes

    Diaz McGregor 3 gonna have some amazing prefight video promos.
    Can't blame the guy. Thinking about all that money I'm losing if we fight 3 days before the PPV would scare me too.

    lol. I think they all know in the back of their minds they're generating hype but that was def real or could have gotten very real. Conor knows those guys are ruthless... He had every right to be a little shook.

    Oh yeah 100%. I'm sure Conor would've thrown down if needed too but there's no way that goes down in his favor.

    The weigh ins gonna be somethin special

    If Nate wins, there's no chance of a 3rd fight right? Gotta believe UFC wants to milk this for all they can but can't really see what they could do in that case. Plus Dana said Conor's next fight is for the title.

    I think there was one trilogy where somebody got their a--- beat twice and still went (and lost) third time but I may be wrong. Only way this becomes a trilogy is if Conor beats Diaz this Saturday.

    205:Aldo v McGregor 2 for FW belt
    209: Diaz v McGregor 3 for the f--- of it

    I think if it's a controversial win for Diaz or if it's a back and forth war they'll most likely do a third but just not straight away. Conor will go back to FW first.
    Yeah, Frankie Edgar has beaten BJ Penn 3 times.

    There will be a 3rd no matter what imo. Too much money to be made.

    I think Nate's gonna hurt him Saturday.
