UFC 196: McGregor vs. Diaz Pre-Fight Press Conference (FULL) 

I absolutely lost it at 19:05 “you’re playing touch-butt with that dork in the park, with the ponytail” 😂😂

"Your playing touch butt with that dork in the park" - Diaz

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...

really wish connor didn't say they become panic grapplers because that's exactly what he became in that fight

"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

Nates 2 lines about him knocking out midgets were pure comedy gold. Classic! 😆 😆

“Dance for me Nate, and don’t look me in the eye” LOOOOOL

Anyone else love seeing McGregor's old Press Conference's

I want to see Diaz vs McGregor 3!

The ultimate - “my whole team will beat your whole team’s ass, how bout that?” Nate is still the man.

Connor mcgregor will be submitted within the second round .. Mark my word

BREAKING NEWS: McGregor is playing touch butt once again!

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” 😂😂😂😂

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.

18:50 ahahha diaz u legend

Nate sounds like Walter White's son

best part is at 19:12 when the "touch butt" joke sinks in with Dana. His reaction is priceless

23:24 lmfao calls his own destiny.... Nice call McGregor

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."

The best line was Diaz near the end 33:31 "There ain't shit to say...Fuckin fight."

For the future Nick Diaz team vs Conor's team on the ultimate fighter, then Nick vs Conor

Hate McGregor or love him he can sell a fight like no one else.

So good. Conner running his mouth and little big man shutting it. Gotta love it.

19:06 'You were playing touchbutt with that dork in the park'

What a time this was to be alive

McGregor should be on some housewife reality show.. He's turning UFC into some drama show... Southpark wrestling but in an octagon.

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.

"I'd love to fight myself" LOL!!! How can anyone top this guy?! He's an advertising genius!

Bj Penn was willing to fight two three divisions over before Conor...how soon people forget

19:09 dana cracked up, so did I. best comment of the entire conference.

10:08 One of the many reasons I respect McGregor

playing touch but with the dork in the park...the ponytail

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.

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.

who is watch this 2020 😂

Nate diaz talks like Walter White Jr.

Conor became the "panic" wrestler

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

Looking back at these conferences, man it was so exciting. Now, we all wonder if or when Conor is coming back after that defeat.

Holms is thinking " Connor sounds just like rousey and look what happened".

19:11 i love how Dana is trying not to laugh louder 🤣

McGregor will always be my favorite ufc fighter but Diaz is a real ass dude and has hella heart.

Even mcgregor chuckled at the touchbutt question at the end

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.

Nate Diaz the only guy who did shut Conor up out.. Even saying nothing😄

It seems to me that nate got into conor's head without traying so hard.

I’m guessing the Diaz group crossed that river again😭😭😊🤘🏿🤜🏿

looking back to these videos...you can feel that Conor had doubts and was kinda scared of Nate.

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.

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

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.

I love the way the UFC is panning out these days

Funny how a good ol' Stockton beat down could change a person's persona... Conor is as quiet as a church mouse now hahaha

18:20 real argument begins😂

Anybody else fast forward through the ladies Q&A?

I like how Conor tried his best to get inside Nate's head but Nate kept sayin " I dont give a fu*k "

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.

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.

Dance for me nate don’t look me in the eye when you dance 🤣😂

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...

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

"we're never gonna cross this river again"

It's 2023 and I'm still watching this shi 😆 🤣

Dana shaking trying to control his laughter at the touch butt with that dork in the park comment haha

32:23 I didn't know playing touch butt could be extremely serious

dana: what’s up Nate Nate: whats up

Mann Diaz is cool ass fuck he don't fall for none McGregor's bullshit

Its amazing to look at this 2021

12:22 - "You're welcome"... what a stinger

18:42 What a line!!!!

1:15 “who are ya!” 😂😂

*"His head will clatter off the canvas" - Loyal King Conor*

looking back at this is so funny

''Dance for me Nate Dance for me'' -Mike Tyson.

33:17 Stockton slap was incoming in the fight from this point forward

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

Wow... that Miesha Tate is one good looking lady 😊😊

Wow this is One of the best UFC Conference ever. Haha

Styles make fights, this should be a good one

the moment when connor laugh hard... it means his pissed off lol!

Diaz was nervous af sitting next to mesha

23:35 Mystic Mac predicted right once again!! LOL

This might be the earliest Mayweather was brought up.... It's around minute 16, fun to watch after knowing they are going to fight.

12:39 Mcgregor is so rude 😭 “Dance for me nate & dont look me in the eyes when you dance” to funny😂😂😂😂

"Dance for me and don't look in my eye"Lmaao Coner McGregor has got punchlines for days Lol

I love these two.... And these press conference are hilarious

The fighting Irish love u Conor so proud to be Irish u d MAN so what if he lost get over it he has remember peeps HE WHO DARES WINS ... Conor McGregor put MMA on d map!!!. Will always be a fan.

Holly seems like she has something on her mind she looks somewhat emotional

22:04 😂😂😂😂😂

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.

19:11 Dana loved that one hahahaha

Conor should’ve got all the way to heavyweight and compete for every belt in ufc

conor mcgregor beaten ronda rousey beaten = @floyd mayweather pissing himself laughing

Crazy looking back and he gets so emotioinal about that vid Nick gave him called CHOKE

Conor said he could kick whole Gracie team one by one + Nate's big brother... i'd like to see that..

actually conor i find people who are scared act like you are now

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

When he said daince for me, all i could see his him getting humbled, and his mouth closed while he tapped out. Beautiful

Ahhh back when John didn't automatically get the first question the good old days

At 8:05 when dana says ""conor steps up at any weight at any time"" Yet Nate and nick have been doing that for yeeeaaaarrs. Unfortunately Nick isnt in the game anymore but Nate has been treated the same always throwing him in there but never gave him the credit but McGaygor the born rich boy gets all the credit.......stoopid hype train
