As a fan, I lost a little respect for the man. Did you?
Firstly, Nate was out of line putting his fist less than an inch from Conor's face.
No man, or MMA fighter, is going to be comfortable in that situation. It's instinct to react (fight or flight) when your personal space is compromised by someone's fist.
But McG could have simply pushed Nate's hand away.
Why risk physical injury by throwing a closed fist?
Yes, you're hyping a fight. DCs brawl with JJ sold PPVs...
Still, cheap...
Did you lose any respect for Conor punching Nate's hand?
