Yup, I'm aware, but because he isn't medically suspended he needs to make weight to get his show money, which is stupid.

Ah, thought you were suggesting him v Jacare as a possibility!

Jacare just weighed in, came in at 189. Think he weighed in after Kennedy...

They should cut Gastlum hes nothing but a problem let him go to Bellator and eat all the tacos in the world with his sponsorship money.

Alves vs Miller at catchweight it looks like.

Mike Bohn ‏@MikeBohnMMA 7m7 minutes ago
Thiago Alves vs. Jim Miller is now a catchweight of 163 pounds. Alves can't be over 173 pounds tomorrow in order to fight.

Ariel Helwani ‏@arielhelwani 9m9 minutes ago
Cowboy is getting show money.

Alves can't weigh more than 173 tomorrow. 20% fine. Goes to Miller.

Jacare is not fighting on the card.

**** sake Gastelum Cerrone was a great fight. What an absolute unprofessional loser. He should be cut

Jacare not fighting on the card. Could Gastelum not cut the extra 3 pounds in time to fight? Stupid.

UFC confirm its a five fight main card.

Chamatkar Sandhu ‏@SandhuMMA 3m3 minutes ago
Dave Sholler just informed us that the #UFC205 PPV is now a 5 fight main card with Donald Cerrone vs. Kelvin Gastelum being scrapped.

Woodleys body language doesnt appear to tell the storying hes telling on twitter.

He posted it on his own Insta and Twitter with the caption " How you act when you know someone is going to hold you back" and tagged Conor in it.

I think that's half why Conor stared him down at the weigh in, they half seemed to like each other before but I think Tyron felt disrespected when Conor said he wanted his belt.

I'm pretty sure tmz have some sort of gossip coverage deal with the UFC. Dana always uses them as a mouthpiece when negotiations and the like are going down, they always seem to have locations for meetings between fighters and owners etc.

What time is the ticketed weigh in on at does anyone know and is it on TV or just YouTube

Conor and Tyron face off from earlier. Conor working on that 3rd belt.

Weight: 170 lb ( 77 kg )
Reach 74"
Leg Reach 42"

Are Woodleys stats, maybe McGregor fancies himself against him? By comparison here are Conors:

Height: 5' 9" ( 175 cm )
Weight: 145 lb ( 65 kg )
Reach 74"
Leg Reach 40"

If McGregor wins, what's left for him in terms of signature achievements that are in any way realistic. I mean events that might be on the same hype and significance scale as 205. I'm thinking:

1) Diaz trilogy title fight (I don't see the same level of excitement sir a "standard" title defence)

2) WW title shot

3) GSP superfight

Anything else?

McGregor weighs 145? Really?

Woodley weighs 170? Really?

Out of competition, Woodley has 25-30 odd pounds on him I'd say.

How many times has that fat fcuk Gastelum missed weight now.

Fire his unprofessional burger eating ass.

How in gods name can you be in camp and miss weight by that much. Does he have no nutrition guy and anyone keeping any eye on his weight and what he's eating?

Knex*

Is it just me, or does it look like absolutely nothing to anyone else?

Cerrone talking to some media. Worth watching just to see his reaction to being asked about fighting on the Belfast card at the end.

Weird face off there, Conor obviously didn't like Woodley telling him to stay away from 170 at the presser. Conor has no place at 170 though.
