Nate likes to talk shit but it's pretty obvious he can't match wits with Conor. I'm looking forward to Conor's one-liners about how Nate sucks or how Nate just won the lottery or just general shit talk about Nate's fighting style.

The line he had about Nate not being able to afford a plane ticket to the MMA awards was gold

I'm hoping he brings the scrap pack with him and there's a physical altercation.

Lets be real here, the scrap pack gets laid out one after the other.

He'd get submitted and/or smashed by any member of the scrap pack. These aren't little 145'ers.

I don't think Conor knows what he's gotten himself into here.

If he follows Conor's lead, he'll get verbally decapitated, no doubt. He doesn't have to do that, though. If he plays the nonplussed, low-key thug, he can turn that script around. He won't lose the face-off, I'm sure of that.

Conor's trash talk is all about going all over the place, saying outlandish shit, and catching you up in his tangents. All you would really have to do is stay on point. Easier said than done though.

Yep, totally agreed. If I was Nate I'd reference the stipulations in Conor's contract for the Aldo fight covering what would happen if he lost. Maybe Nate's not the right guy for that kind of trash talk though?

All the fake Conor fans are going to shit themselves when the realize just how much bigger Nate Diaz is then McGregor.

Conor went a division too far this time. Diaz is going to slap him back down to 145.

Agree, Nate should kick back, and have a flat affect, like he doesn't give a shit about anything ... not sure he can do that with McGregor talking shit at him. He's definitely going to try to slap Conor when they face off, I bet.

Nick is the only one who can stand and bang with Conor but bc he's still serving his suspension he can't attend promotional events like a press conference.
