What's everyone doing to kill the time until the fights

Cinema and lots of coffee. Come home around midnight wired to the moon and ready to see history made.

I might crack open a beer when Conor throws his first punch but not before. Alcohol makes me sleepy and so cappuccinos only until 5:30'ish.

Nothing like fight day. Slept til 3PM. About to run down the butchers to pick up 4 T-Bones, than to the shops after and pick up crisps, chocolate, a bottle of whiskey, a bag of espresso and a big ol slab of cans.

Gonna have a BBQ around 12.30 just before the undercard, Irish coffees for just before the main card in case anyone is getting sleepy.

It's like Paddy's day except I enjoy myself.

Conor v Khabib is a super fight.

Khabib would beat Alvarez easily.

I don't expect Mcgregor to encounter too many problems with Eddie tonight but Khabib beats Conor 99 times out of 100 unfortunately.

He never looks spectacular but is a fighter who will always nullify his opponent.

Khabib loses tonight

I woke at 7am so that's ominous. 21 bottles in the fridge. Pizza , Doritos and peanuts at the ready. Gonna be a great night of fights.

No drinking for me tonight so I think I'm going to make a rake of nachos and drink a whole bottle of sprite and a bag of jellies to replace the lost calories.

lovely 4 pack of moster chilling in the fridge is about it for me...no sign of nerves yet which is strange...you'd swear we were on the card the way we're going on! :D

This entire post is gibberish. The Guardian article had nothing to do with "generating any loathing". It was about the fact that, from the author's point of view (one you're entirely free to disagree with), McGregor isn't as entertaining in press conferences, weigh ins etc as so much of his stuff is evidently rehearsed and increasingly devoid of wit. I dunno, perhaps you think repeatedly saying "I don't give a ****" is gas craic altogether.

aw c'mon eager, it wasnt all bad was it? who talks like that, "why that whole thing is gibberish I tell you, erroneous to the point of slander" you're that lad in the HAVAD BA from good will hunting! my contention regarding military mobilisation is blah blah..

I know what the content is etc, I was merely pointing out that it's never any surprise if a UK publication pours cold water on a paddy!! contrarily I agree with the piece in it's form.. so I agree with your point but find your demenour unpalatable... Howya like dem apples!

speaking off the record, I do like buzzin off ye, I will admit that.

Heading to a white collar boxing thing until around 12 and then meeting the lads back at the house for boozing and all the fights. We've done this a few times now so we have the drinking and staying awake timeline down to a tee. Been buzzing for this all damn week delighted it's here.

I'll start to get nervous around the start of the main card and then been pacing up and down the room with a whiskey once the foggy dew starts playing...

Put a 15 Euro accumulator on for the craic as well...returns 600 or so if it comes in. My god is 6 land and it's down to Conor I'll be under the blanket..

Mcgregor
Romero
Joanna
Frankie
Woodley
Tate
Khabib

Yes, the Guardian, that famed anti-Paddy rag that has published umpteen articles charting his rise and success, including a fantastic interview with Donald McRae. Why try to create an angle that simply isn't there?

Enjoy your night.

I did this with the mendes fight, got up to take a piss and heard cries of yeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh ole ole ole from the early house at 6am...

cannot be done in my estimation . latest would be download from the bay and watch 2 hours after with an early breakfast maybe.
