• Coach: Conor McGregor's trash talk pumped Nate Diaz up 'even more'

  08-03-2016 15:00
  
  LAS VEGAS -- Some of Conor McGregor's past opponents have wilted under his superior mental warfare almost as much as his pressure and power.
  "The Notorious" tried similar tactics against Nate Diaz heading into their fight at UFC 196 on Saturday. He said Diaz was scared, called his teammates "juiceheads," made fun of him teaching kids jiu-jitsu and then punched his hand during a press conference staredown Thursday. There was plenty more, too.
  None of it worked. That was abundantly clear when Diaz

  Conor McGregor could have played it safe after taking out longtime featherweight king Jose Aldo. The Irish sensation didn’t have to move up a weight class to challenge for a second title. He didn’t have to move up another one when Rafael Dos Anjos pulled out due to injury 10 days out from the fight. //
  But if McGregor played it safe he’d be Floyd Mayweather. McGregor doesn’t hand pick his fights and he doesn’t play it safe, and that’s why the sport’
