It's like when you used to go on holidays when you were a kid and Mum and Dad fought and you couldn't enjoy yourself. Lol

The Conor McGregor era of the UFC will go down as the most fun, exciting time in the history of the sport.

There's a great saying - "you don't know what you have until it's gone".

Been watching the sport for over a decade. Think i'll do just fine after McG has fooked off on other adventures. He can take the fairweathers and WWE fans with him.

Got visions of Dafyd Thomas saying "I am the only true MMA fan in the country".

Did Woodley sell his footage to TMZ?

How cheap is that?

da prick id say so.

sure as soon as they ask mcgregor he'll tell yer man to shut de **** up again ha ha ha. that was priceless because it was bang on in terms of it being directed at TMZ.

Its definitely the most exciting era to be fair. He has broken all records. The mainstream element is a knock on effect. Pros and cons of the sport getting popular.

Flight Mode will never have been a more important function on a phone than tonight!

Effects

Not exactly the same but maybe Woodley is just making a buck any way he can, while he can. He might not be champ for much longer.

Ps. Not saying any of the incidents were faked. I just think he's more than happy to get in their faces, knowing it'll be recorded by any number of cameras that follow him around.

You guys just haven't seen all the times its happened when there's no cameras, just now we're followed all the time.

This is no act.

...but dont think for a moment it has any effect on tonight. When the ref says fight all the build up fades away. Everything else disappears into silence and you're left with 2 well prepared fighters who, being honest, are much less effected by anything that went on this week than the Internet psychologists would have you believe.

Anyway enjoy the fight guys. This is the best type of fight. Both fighters in their prime and both truly believe they are far superior than their opponent. Its a rare type of match up in MMA and almost never happens in boxing anymore.

If there's an mma god he gives us Wonderboy highlight reel wheel kick finish and a Conor counter left hand sleeping Eddie, I promise I will go to church tomorrow if you deliver me this mma lord.

How do you manage to just chill arms-folded like a boss when Khabib and Tyron are going at it with Conor lol.

That's Artem level of boss!

Big John is reffing the Main Event than god!

Nothing against Herb Dean whatsoever but after seeing Owen's VLOG from 202 i just think John is the best in the business for the big occasion. Herb can be a little trigger happy with stoppages sometimes.
