Just eight days away from the biggest boxing fight in history, some attention has been drawn to various high profile boxers poking fun at McGregor’s patented warm-ups.
Particularly when it comes to the suggestion McGregor could be embarrassed on August 26.
“And now all the boxers are criticising Conor like ‘Conor will get embarrassed’, but that’s a real arrogant thing to say,” Diaz said in an interview with Ariel Helwani earlier this year.
[Floyd] would get mounted and laughed at, and slapped around [and Conor] would smile at the crowd and wave.”.
“I’m never taking the MMA fighters over the boxer’s side when it comes to punching and shit, but I’m like don’t be talking shit.
[They say MMA fighter’s] ‘would get embarrassed, it’s ridiculous’ yeah, but we’re talking real fighting now you one-dimensional boxing fucks.
