    What was with the guy doing the weighing scales? Was he being trained in or something?

    Yeah there are levels of gauntness though which can indicate a tough cut,anybody?Does he usually look like that?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,309 ✭✭✭T-K-O


    I don't think he looked gaunt... I think he was messing with the beard again and the ol 'hat head' didnt look great :)

    I'm not a big fan of Chael as a fighter, but he's hilarious.

    Also, it's mad to see how much attention Conor is getting.

    Chael IS hilarious! (who knew).

    Max Holloway just trying to play the dark horse card he was stuck with, not much choice - but in all respect I think he did it with grace. Hope it's close and could well be a cracker!

    so has conor missed weight then as he came in at 146 rather than 145?

    No, I,m pretty sure you only have to be 145 for a title fight for non title fights you can be 1 pound over

    I thought the same as if he was going to get sick, huge pressure on him to win this.So if he is/was I can't blame him


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,588 ✭✭✭✭Mellor


    I'm really starting to dislike this forum, especially this thread. Just nonsense. If he wins tomorrow its only going to get worse.
    If a fight with Aldo is the goal, he's probably gonna fight Cub Swanson first. This might be 1, 2, 3 or more fights down the line. Hopefully people can keep that in mind before that jump the shark tomorrow.

    when he wins tomorrow he'll run a train through Cub and Aldo (possibly on the same card) before moving up in weight to school Cain before a showdown with Brock. Then he will replace Dana as the face of the UFC :-)

    Same... It's a non issue really. He usually looks uber confident but you're right, this is the biggest stage of this life. Once he let that roar he looked comfortable.

    Immaterial to be honest, it's all about how he performs tonight..

    Good Luck

    Agreed.
    Nerves at the weigh-in doesn't necessarily mean its fight related. Conor is a big FW, he is always going to wonder if he has made the limit. Even if he is 99% sure, there's always that 1%. If it doesn't cross you mind, then you aren't cutting enough imo.

    Conor had noticably more muscle mass than Max, obviously a lot of that comes down to Max's 3" height advantage. But its worth noting that despite being 3" shorter, Conor has a 2" reach advantage.

    FYI,

    The fight will not be on facebook as the prelims are live on the main show. This is not confirmed, I got this info from another US board.

    Is everyone that blinded by patriotism that nobody can see McGregor losing?
    I have Holloway by UD.
    Hope I'm wrong.

    No.

    Anything can happen in an MMA fight but Conor is the better fighter. It's that simple


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,527 ✭✭✭✭MrStuffins


    I have a bad feeling the hype train is gonna come off the rails.

    Hopefully not though. Come on Conor!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,748 ✭✭✭Dermighty


    Sonnen used to look very gaunt when he weighed in at 185!
