Today’s UFC 196 press conference was a real doozy, so Iain Kidd and Stephie Haynes did a little breakdown of all the finer points of the showdown before the showdown.
The second round of Pressermania for UFC 196 was even better than the first round last week. My longtime partner in crime, Iain Kidd and I decided that it required some discussion, so we recorded a quick 19-minute Three Amigos mini-sode for our listeners. There is even a bonus in that Iain’s demon (explained in the audio) makes an appearance.
Some of the points we covered were:
-The apparent irritability of McGregor
-His ownage of the verbal battle once again
–Dana White’s silence when put on the spot about the weight limit controversy
-The gazelle remarks
-The after-presser scuffle
–Jake Shields egging on Diaz to continue the skirmish
-A small breakdown of their styles
-Some bonus history of Three Amigos hijinx
We do realize we’ve put out three shows in a 24 hour span, but we feel this is an important event and McGregor/Diaz is absolutely an important fight. We hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed recording.
