"Your playing touch butt with that dork in the park" - Diaz
Lol .... Please Nate kick Conor's ass out of ufc
+Honved1000 nah....looked more like diaz bent McGregor over and made him tap like a Bitch....nice prediction try though
@@Honved1000 gay
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Nate is a legend... fucking midgets, you fight midgets 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Honved1000 Wow this didn't age well!!!
I absolutely lost it at 19:05 “you’re playing touch-butt with that dork in the park, with the ponytail” 😂😂
ye that weirdo ido portal
😅😅
really wish connor didn't say they become panic grapplers because that's exactly what he became in that fight
Also He Said Khabib Had a weak chin but Conor got Knocked Down. Hahaha
He also said his predictions are always correct ....
@Jake the muss who won the fight though
Jake the muss yikes. The pillow hand wrestler got more knockdowns than a counter striker? Hmm that makes sense
@@Wavy_Turk he didn’t get rocked though lol so no glass jaw or Conor
Nates 2 lines about him knocking out midgets were pure comedy gold. Classic! 😆 😆
Featherweight champion Jose Aldo ain't midget that's the no 1 pfp fighter then
@@norbzzz3224 Jose Aldo 5’5…..Midget.
What more can be expected of a leprechaun?
“Dance for me Nate, and don’t look me in the eye” LOOOOOL
Oh he did dance for Connor and he danced circles around him!!!! 🖐
He danced on his face with punches
@@famousamus24 and Conor butchered his face
"when I come out spinning and attacking crazy, people shell up, they shell up they become panic grapplers." -McGregor And that's how he lost the fight
He didn't shell up from shots. He gassed out.
Blunted Corleone na he got rocked and panicked 😂
Blunted Corleone he got rocked which gassed him out and he went for a takedown which immediately got sprawled
@@bluntedcorleone3628 technically he was trying to shell up but his endurance was to weak to keep his arms up and tuck his chin with his elbows in......so yes he shelled once he shot for the take down 😂😂😂
@@kstar4456 nah
Anyone else love seeing McGregor's old Press Conference's
Here for Diaz og
Hell ya
Everyone
@@Goodcooks 💯
I want to see Diaz vs McGregor 3!
The fight is great for hype but not much talent
It will never happen because if he looses again and he will loose credibility. So you won't see a fight. If he fights khabib again and loses he looses his momentum so it won't happen. Less tickets will be sold. Pro wrestling 101.
Way overdue
It’s a good time to do it
@@proven7103 naw mcgregor said for the trilogy nate has to come to 155 and we all know nate won’t go down.
Nate Diaz was spot on with his trash talk the entire time. 1.You know he likes to get into his head. - pretend to not hear what he said, Nate constantly looked like he cannot understand or cannot hear what Conor was saying, getting on Conor's nerves. 2.You know he takes pride in his ethics. - accuse him of being a cheater, on using steroids. Nate knew this was not true and that's exactly what got on Conor's nerves, the lies. :)) 3. You know he takes pride in his humble origins (he worked as a plumber) - accuse him of being "born rich". That was just brilliant and if you take a closer look Nate actually gave away a smirk after that line, showing he knew that will affect Conor. 4.You know believing in himself is very important for Conor. - accuse him he does not believe in himself "even you don't believe that. you don't believe that", said Nate. :)) . Just brilliant...
that's spot on
Akhil Asok lol the diaz brothers don't try to get into peoples heads.....they just hate media and interview questions. They aren't afraid of no one...
Like Khabib
It's true. I'm an Irish guy from AZ. My best friend was a Mexican kid. Wrestling, boxing, he'd always try to knock my passion and commitment around before countering just to distract me lol
Nates just talking, hes not that bright lol
Nate sounds like Walter White's son
Luke Stephens yoooooo
If you look close enough, you can see a plate of bacon and eggs next to his microphone
You look like Walter whites bitch
@@tinaharden7554 Skyler ?
Just pissed in my pants
The ultimate - “my whole team will beat your whole team’s ass, how bout that?” Nate is still the man.
18:50 ahahha diaz u legend
Connor mcgregor will be submitted within the second round .. Mark my word
Ok let's see
Let's C....,
+Jonny Bravo A submission would the worst way the fight could end. K.O's are dispute settlers!
+Jarrod Nicho Don't be scared
+Jonny Bravo diaz aint about that shit anymore hes bangin it out
I feel bad for Nate. He's been pretty cool this whole time. Gotta love the Diaz Bros. They work hard and if you've ever been to Stockton, you know they came from nothing.
Jess W Conor started from the bottom too, leaving a plumbing apprenticeship to pursue MMA
@Jess W fook you
Jess W he hitchhiked two hours each way to get to the site and was doing all grunt work.
You called that right! Nate Diaz is a warrior 💪
@@holy_shushcabin3716 LOL. You must have never been to Stockton. Big difference between the Diaz bros life and Connors life.
I watch this video every week just to hear Nate say "you're playing touch-butt with that dork in the park, with the pony tail - and I'M the one who ain't got no training partner? I don't think so."
Ķĥabib nurmdi only shhhmmmmmtttttt and schhhhhoouujjhch bzziiuueeeeeeee
BREAKING NEWS: McGregor is playing touch butt once again!
@Daniel Gallagher Who da fook is this guy
The fact even Dana was cracking up when Nate said “your playing touch butt with that dork in the park with the pony tail” 😂😂😂 Nate ate that whole conference with that one line alone. Followed by “you seem too have it all figured out when your fighting midgets” or the other one when he said “you knocked out 3 midgets and your pumped up” 😂😂😂😂
@Toes Foryou "My JV squad would beat your squads ass"😂

Hate McGregor or love him he can sell a fight like no one else.
not anymore.
rematch pls
He made Diaz a million for that fight whet his previous purse was around 20k so you need to give the guy credit did you miss the bit where he went up to weight divisions because Diaz could not make the lower weight..

👋
Again watching in 2020
so its not only me 🤣🤣 oh thanks god
I remember that year. What a great year that was
For the future Nick Diaz team vs Conor's team on the ultimate fighter, then Nick vs Conor
+Lord Gabe fo sho!
+Lord Gabe That would take so much policing lol
+Lord Gabe You have to wait 5 yrs for that!
suk it
dont be dumb he generally fights at 170 and he has fought at 155 before
So good. Conner running his mouth and little big man shutting it. Gotta love it.
"I'd love to fight myself" LOL!!! How can anyone top this guy?! He's an advertising genius!
+NateDiaz Shakur Don't be a stupid punk. Tell me one guy within the UFC that has brought in his numbers...? I'm waiting...? Yeah, that's what I thought. Just shut up.
+Jason G Not to shit on your post, but Brock still has the biggest PPV numbers.
***** but not the global reach that CM has.
+Jason G Was....
VideogameGuitarist Sure of that?
Bj Penn was willing to fight two three divisions over before Conor...how soon people forget
Nate diaz talks like Walter White Jr.
rrtrgrgyhumi
+Alpha Polaris Are you the guy thats going around and copy pasting that on every single one of these videos?
ABostonElite What? No haha, i just watched this video only and heard the similarities in speech
Holy fuck mate he does haha
They must have the same disability
McGregor should be on some housewife reality show.. He's turning UFC into some drama show... Southpark wrestling but in an octagon.
agreed
xxx xxx ye i understand that but i dont respect that unfortunately. Sure tease a bit, have some fun but its just too much with him. I did enjoy seeing him fall. Hopefully he wont be a dick about it. Then i could respect him more i guess.
ye i get what he is doing but its disrespectful thowards the sport. Id rather have some respect for my job and myself then to whore myself around like that.
yeah
This is fighting. There is no reason for them to be buddy-buddy with each other or respect each other before the fight. Nate Diaz will tell you the same thing. And trash-talking has been a part of fighting since decades. Go watch some of Muhammad Ali's press-conferences. It's nothing new, Conor is just channeling Ali.
I love Jake and Richard Perez but the one thing Nick and Nate have always been missing is a real Guru in their corner. Someone like Greg Jackson, Matt Hume or Farras from Tristar. Someone who puts the whole game together and can articulate exactly what to do during the fight and in between rounds. Shields gives the most basic advice. He's there for motivation really.
11:15 Nate says that he was inspired by the movie choke when Nick brought it home. oh the irony lmao, conar should have been paying attention.
Conor became the "panic" wrestler
playing touch but with the dork in the park...the ponytail
10:08 One of the many reasons I respect McGregor
19:06 why I respect Mister Diaz
19:09 dana cracked up, so did I. best comment of the entire conference.
Even mcgregor chuckled at the touchbutt question at the end
I was surprised Holm lost. But, if you want beat a multiple time world boxing champ you don't try to out-box her - Tate didn't try to do that, and beat her on the floor easily. I was not surprised McGregor lost - but I love his fire before a fight and his noble words after a fight, win or lose.
Sadly the part about conor didn’t age well at all 😩 look at how he acts now. Such a downfall 😒
19:11 i love how Dana is trying not to laugh louder 🤣
Holms is thinking " Connor sounds just like rousey and look what happened".
agreed
+Ad2_d.a.d He sounded worse with Aldo and look what happened.
+Honved1000 Say no more!
+Ad2_d.a.d conor doesnt have bullshit boxing like ronda though, maybe he has bullshit jiujitsu but that is maybe it
+Ad2_d.a.d Conor backs it up
Looking back at these conferences, man it was so exciting. Now, we all wonder if or when Conor is coming back after that defeat.
Funny how a good ol' Stockton beat down could change a person's persona... Conor is as quiet as a church mouse now hahaha
wait untill the build up for the next fight.
Kelly Roberts Can't wait
ha
yea what bitch? won a decision? nate strangled the fuck out of him.
MEH champ actually 1 LMAO. And he slipped by on a controversial decision in the 2nd fight. Nate strangled him with ease in the 1st. Nate definitely still owns that Ginger fuck 👊🏼
It seems to me that nate got into conor's head without traying so hard.
Got IN his head and ON TOP OF his head landing punches 😂
He wasn't in his head Conor was in his
Nate can't even figure out how to get a thought out of his own brain dead head
I’m guessing the Diaz group crossed that river again😭😭😊🤘🏿🤜🏿
Man, seeing Conor and Ronda before the stardom got to their heads, they were hard not to like. Very confident and kinda brash, but not disrespectful in a way you knew wasn't just showmanship. It's sad to see how they both ended up
Nate Diaz the only guy who did shut Conor up out.. Even saying nothing😄
i don't really like Conor but I do appreciate that he probably solidified MMAs position as it is now. But the Diaz bros are so much cooler.
looking back to these videos...you can feel that Conor had doubts and was kinda scared of Nate.
I love the way the UFC is panning out these days
McGregor will always be my favorite ufc fighter but Diaz is a real ass dude and has hella heart.
In one sense, weight classes exist for a good reason, and Nate is naturally bigger and has that advantage. In another sense, Connor isn't humble and will not stop trash talking. I feel these things evened each other out. A good match up, a good contrasting fight. Fighting weight classes up, and fighting people over your weight is a solid thing, Connor has respect for that. Always loved the guys in PRIDE that took out of weight matches, and the light guys that let full PRIDE rules go on when they were giving up 20+ pounds... Minowa all day.
Yodie Yuh Yh what happen with second fight
You can tell mcGregors heart is pounding with all of those deep breaths and nonstop chewing..he had to be on something in my opinion.
+SMiRKViLLAN101 Fear.
Chewing on gum Makes your brain active Go back to school smh
SMiRKViLLAiN101 he always does that literally in all his interviews
@Medroff good fucking point🤔
It’s adrenaline
Nate has sent McGregor back to the smaller boys👍🏻 Breakdown: Nate took a beating in the first round, but that's what he's good at. Then he stepped it up in the second. Managed to land some on McGregor. Conor got hurt, probably not used to the bigger power 2 weight classes up, but tried not to show it. However, he had to back out and got frustrated that he couldn't hurt Diaz. Nate kept coming. Conor couldn't do anything but take it to the ground or get k.o.-ed. He was probably hoping he could make it to the end of the round that way. Bad choice as we all could see. You shouldn't take it to the ground with Nate Diaz. Especially not when you're hurt already. Respect to Nate. He kept and keeps real under all the tresh talking.
Cody Chambers then he got abused by khabib
This is not tresh talking
"we're never gonna cross this river again"
I like how Conor tried his best to get inside Nate's head but Nate kept sayin " I dont give a fu*k "
Anybody else fast forward through the ladies Q&A?
hahaha me
Always
No i wanked at them lol
PLAYIN TOUCH BUTT WITH THAT DORK IN THE PARK?? AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA well done Nate Oh man that is funny I am so glad that dolt Dos Anjos is out ....so great
+Steve Nessman that was awesome)
I seriously want the fly that mini-aircraft from the movie "Innerspace" into his brain and just sit there and observe
18:20 real argument begins😂
dana: what’s up Nate Nate: whats up
McGregor's talk and his actions are light years apart. In his mind he is a once in a lifetime talent, in reality, he has 1 win in 5 years.
This was 6 years ago dumbass
Anderson Silva had 1 win in 7 years

12:22 - "You're welcome"... what a stinger
They call him the scorpion master cause he has the "sting"
*"His head will clatter off the canvas" - Loyal King Conor*
1:15 “who are ya!” 😂😂
Watching this years later. It shows how big Diaz became from this win. Nobody cheered for him or cared hardly and if they redid this he would probably get more support than Conor
18:42 What a line!!!!
Mann Diaz is cool ass fuck he don't fall for none McGregor's bullshit
he is falling in mcgregor's bs
How do these press conferences differ from each other? Its a fight they train, they diet, they get in the cage. Its the same questions and answers every time.
32:23 I didn't know playing touch butt could be extremely serious
Wow this is One of the best UFC Conference ever. Haha
Dana shaking trying to control his laughter at the touch butt with that dork in the park comment haha
19:11 Dana loved that one hahahaha
Diaz was nervous af sitting next to mesha
looking back at this is so funny
12:39 Mcgregor is so rude 😭 “Dance for me nate & dont look me in the eyes when you dance” to funny😂😂😂😂
It's 2023 and I'm still watching this shi 😆 🤣
Holly seems like she has something on her mind she looks somewhat emotional
22:04 😂😂😂😂😂
I was dying 🤣
Dance for me nate don’t look me in the eye when you dance 🤣😂
Its amazing to look at this 2021
Wow... that Miesha Tate is one good looking lady 😊😊
And she win
23:35 Mystic Mac predicted right once again!! LOL
HAHAHAHAHAHA
If you always put limit on everything you do, physical or anything else. It will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them. Bruce Lee Conor will adjust, don't underestimate this loss to Diaz, Mcgregor he will continue...
the moment when connor laugh hard... it means his pissed off lol!
actually conor i find people who are scared act like you are now
like casius clay in boxing
yes actually its away of dealing with fear
***** yes and thats why he is a scared child. Other people are saying that he is just fooling around but thats because he was winning.
Wow im sure what you find means alot to a man thats at the top of one of the toughest most dangerous and challenging industries in the world... ha

+Ritchie Winters Funny they both called out Mayweather, lool
+kassop yeeaaah
+Ritchie Winters It is ironic.. Except Mayweather would get destroyed in the octagon.. Sorry to inform you but boxing is dead.
Padre-D Productions lmao, ufc fighters are totally defenseless against boxers. They should fight in fca and see who would win
+yamada San only in a boxing match, in an mma match boxers lose. in a street fight, a straight up fight boxers lose, the only place a boxer would win is a boxing match
33:17 Stockton slap was incoming in the fight from this point forward
Well, we all saw what Diaz brought to the table.
Conor should’ve got all the way to heavyweight and compete for every belt in ufc
First to get kod in all weight classes
You could tell Conor was nervous. Gum chewing, much more humble, less interruptions.
You're a bonehead
LOL McSleepy is such a funny guy
misha tate's reaction on conor and nate trashtalking... golden
I love these two.... And these press conference are hilarious
Nate is so high 🍁🤙🏻😂
Styles make fights, this should be a good one
I hate it when a fighter struggle to answer questions up on stage and the people laff at them;;;;very very disrespectful some fighters are not big talker’s. On stage cameras people looking at them. Chill out on them plz
33:51 You can hear Conor ask Dana what sounds like, "still on?" Then Dana says "yeah you can do it". I bet you that was about slapping/punching Nate Diaz's hand during the stare down. Scheming SNAKES lol
Gary Quadrozzi yes I heard that also it seems it was referring to that
Nate’s demeanour in this whole conference threw Connor off a bit I believe. He’s used to people saying there gonna do this and that. Instead Nate countered his attacks with witty responses and seemed calm and ready; almost sure of himself that he would destroy the smaller man.
Your definition of “witty” is weird, my man…
What are you talking about?? The dude wasn't thrown off by anything, Nate said and didn't say to him "touch butt with that dork in the park" funny yes witty not at all. Nates calm cause he's uncomfortable doing media shit got brain damage and struggles to answer questions
"Dance for me and don't look me in the eyes" -DADA 5000
