    This was great night. I was in Vancouver watching it in a pub with a bunch of Irish folks. The Rory vs Robbie fight was the perfect warm up. I think this was the best crowd of all his fights.

    This was such a good event. Back when McGregor was still kind of unknown to the mainstream, so most of the fans in the crowd were hardcores. And as said, we weren't sure how he would fair with his first big test.

    The fights on the undercard were great too, so the buzz was amazing come main event time even though it was 6am or so !

    This was the first UFC event that I ever watched. Was sick of hearing all the hype about McGregor. Came to see him but was immediately hooked by what happened on the rest of the card. I can still picture Rory MacDonald's body basically shutting down involuntarily on him in the final round of that war in the co-main. Not to mention the two separate flying knee victories. Amazing card!

    Got a good few friends over for the event, none of whom follow the sport. Just came along for the craic. From a lay persons POV, the first 5 fights of the card were boring while the latter 6 were insane. Really helped to perk people up who had started to fade in the early hours of the morning.

    Looking at my friends faces for the latter rounds of Lawler McDonald was brilliant.
