However Nick Diaz, in a video on BJPenn.com, feels that the standard of the men who McGregor was sparring with was much lower than the day-to-day action faced by Nick, and crucially, Nate at their training base in California.
"I'm just saying he's (Nate) had top matches with some of the best f**king black belts in the world and you got the best fu**ing Irish guys over there they just wanted to start to do this. Everybody jumping on board because one Irish dude is going somewhere among all the Irish. "This ain't f**king Ireland - this is the best grapplers in the world you have here, sparring and working with the best boxers in the world and there ain't no money behind to advertise our situation and never has been. "There's a lot of money going out into advertising McGregor, otherwisehe wouldn't a big superstar right now. And I'm talking before the Aldo fight."We wonder what John Kavanagh, Gunnar Nelson, Lobov, or even Conor McGregor himself would have to say about the quality of his training before UFC 196, and if there will be a change in emphasis for a possible rematch.
