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.

One guy asked her

"Preachers daughters are known for being freaky. What's the freakiest thing you've done? That's open to interpretation"

I mean, that's so creepy.

Fair play! I'm actually less worried now, he looks similar to the way he did before the Siver fight. I hadn't seen him look like that before. I was just thinking that must be some sort of double with fake tatts :P

Thanks, took a while.

I think he looked a lot worse v Siver and Mendes. Mendes weigh in is hard to judge with all the hair but I reckon he would have looked a lot worse if his hair was shorter and beard trimmer.

Im thinking Conor will be around 160-165 tomorrow and Aldo will probably be around 155-160

Yeah that's actually a good point! It's crazy though. He looked the same as always at the open workouts yesterday, and today he just looked like a different person

Conor weighs in at 145 & his normal weight is around 170 I think I read here earlier, so what weight would he be hoping to be for the fight tomor?
145 & 170 is roughly a 2 stone difference thats some crazy weight loss

I would guess he's fighting at around 160/165 on the day. I have no evidence though, just my guess.

He's at 146 against Brimmage, Holloway, Brandao and Poirier I believe, which is why he looks slightly better. 145 for the last three.

Good point, that last pound seems to come off his face in a way that makes him look extra bad.

it's always a brutal cut but honestly it's the best i've seen him.

Just back from the weigh in. Atmosphere was amazing.

Firstly the Q&A was great to be fair and I think Holly actually enjoyed herself. There was the odd one or two questions from Irish lads which were cringe worthy but most of it was fine with some very funny moments.

As for the weigh in itself, it was great to see Faber get such a great reception.

Thought Conor looked so much better than the Medes weigh in. You only have to look at the colour in his skin. He seemed very relaxed and was taking it all in.

Jose looked a little worse than usual I thought. Still ok though. Did anyone think he was a little less muscular than his usual self? Looked a little less defined on the shoulders and lower stomach area. Can someone put up a pic of a past weigh in maybe as I could be completely wrong?

The atmosphere around Vegas is brilliant. There has been one or two clowns making a show of themselves but the vast majority have been well behaved and the locals are loving it.

Can't wait for tomorrow, hope for a great night of fights

Better length of the weigh in staredown.

McGregor looked better than any weigh in recently. What did he actually weigh in at? EDIT: 145.

Aldo looked positively giddy.

While I'd like to see a brawl, I'd absolutely piss myself laughing if it was over with the first strike, at 0:02.

The extra lb doesnt make that sort of difference. The actuall reason is because he was physically bigger for the later fights. Which is why using the pics as a reference point is silly.

FWIW, I considered him to look better today than the Mendes fight.
Which is understandable given he was injured. I believe he was heavier than usual coming into the fight week last time.

Just watched the weigh ins. Two observations:

1: Conor looked worse for this weigh in than I've ever seen him before, like dangerously so.

2: He look ****ing surprised to make 145 while standing on the scale!

Also, Conor losing the head when Jose took the piss out of him making the Bruce Lee pose... Looks like Jose is in Conor's head...

The look of relief on his face when the announcer said 145 really threw me, I think this cut was harder than anyone is admitting, he looked really unwell on the scales and then started reacting emotionally... I don't see those being the rational actions of a man who has confidence in himself.

As well as john Kavanagh. Not sure I've ever seen him agitated before. Him joining in with a middle finger to Brazilian fans was certainly different.

Can't say I agree with either of the two points. Not sure Conor did lose the head, he always squares up like that with everyone. It's controlled aggression, 5 seconds later he's laughing. People reading too much into this. If you want to micro analyse every little moment of the exchange, note that when Conor feinted with a little kick before being separated, Aldo recoiled a bit so you could read that as a sign of fear for Aldo.. Aldo looked pretty energetic in general during the weigh in, more animated than we've seen him over the last year. Conor looked pretty relaxed smiling away. Either way both seem in good shape and will look a lot healthier after rehydrating.

I don't think people can take anything at all from the weigh ins other than they both made the weight. The whole 'in his head' thing is just part of the hype job in a fight. These guys are professional fighters. They've been planning and training how they're going to beat their opponent for months. A five minute interaction in the weigh in isn't going to have one bit of effect on either of them.

But in the media narrative, Jose definitely won the battle at the weigh in.

With the amount of lads definitely already pissed since the afternoon I'd say there'll be a load of scraps tonight.

Be a load of lads who make a tool of themselves and make sure they're never granted entry to the US again after a short stay in a county jail for general fuc*wittery.
