    People getting VERY defensive about how Conor looked at the weigh in...

    Not defensive. But it's how he always looks. People getting defensive at people saying he's never looked worse. He looked worse for Siver and Mendes.

    Most are writing Conor off before the fight even starts though.

    Seems I'm alone in thinking that's the best Mcgregor has looked at a weigh in in a while?

    Aldo now 10/11. Interesting to see what its like before the fight.

    He's still available at 11/10 (Ladbrokes) mate. Won't last too much longer however.

    I was there, Conor looked like a different person tonight, don't know if it's for the better or worse, he looked very weird. A bit like Holohan even.

    Nope. You're not alone. He always looks terrible. What worries me more is Aldo is extremely calm.

    Good gif, but if it got it from the start it would have been better :)

    Thats ok, it balances out from how most people were/are looking to who he will fight next after he wins the belt before the fight even starts though ;)

    Yeah I nabbed it off someone else, it's missing the moment of surprise when Jose moves into that stance

    What did Dana say to Faber on the scales? Great to see him get such a reception from the Irish.

    Who will be bigger for the fight tomorrow night so? Conor or Aldo? What kind of weight would they typically be on fight night?

    A lot of overreaction about the weigh in here. Conor is never going to look great weighing in at 145, but for me that's the best he's looked at weigh in since the Poirier fight. While it's still not great, and that's a sign why he's looking to move up soon, he's definitely looked worse. He was smiling a lot and even sounded better on the mic than after the 189 weigh in.

    Aldo wasn't quite as bad, but was still very sucked in yet there's not many worrying about him. It can't be good on the body but it was hardly a surprise they were going to look gaunt.

    You are spectacularly confused and I've no intention of discussing it further. You've been on this forum since one of Conor's first UFC fights I believe, desperately waiting for him to lose. Good for you, but let's not pretend you don't have an agenda in literally everything you post about him.

    Also felt Conor looked better than usual.

    Crowd was great at weigh ins. Few mishaps (people shouting over Holly's first few questions) but honestly the American fans were just as strange and creepy 'holly you look so good' etc.
