Gunnar Nelson leans back in his chair, hands behind his head and lets out a yawn. Next to him, his good friend Conor McGregor is all histrionics and bloviation. It was a tale of two media lunches, though both men were in the same space.
McGregor likes to say Nelson, his SBG Ireland teammate, brings him down when he needs to relax and McGregor amps up the laidback Nelson when it's time to get excited.
McGregor once picked a fight with everyone on a press conference dais. Nelson doesn't even like to call out a potential opponent.
