“I brought them in the other day, and I told them, ‘Forget Team Europe. Forget Team USA,’” McGregor said. “It’s fake, and it’s fabricated. It’s all fabricated bullsh-t in this business. I told them to remember their team back home. Remember their families. Remember why they’re here. They are here for their people back home, their families and their financial security. All the rest of it is absolutely nothing. I explained that to them.”

That seems consistent with his no self-made men quote. Also like FD said he is providing his coaches that helped mould him.

Lebov was terrible I hope he is knocked out early because Conor is definitely brining him back as his wild card.

It will be cool to see Hall submit all of these dudes.

Those heel hooks are sweet as heck, and he said they're not even what he's best at!

Also can someone who knows BJJ better tell me if Frantz had a chance to escape when McGregor said he did. It did seem like he decided to try and attack Hall on the ground rather than extricate himself at the start of the scrambley bits. Or am I totally wrong?

If it weren't for Artem being at Conor's gym, I bet he wouldn't care at all.
But because Artem is, I wonder if McGregor will grouse at all about Hall being unfairly handpicked for the spot. Probably no way to, with the scrutiny of his title match.

Ryan Hall has trained at SBGi since filming wrapped so I'd imagine they are on fine terms.
