Hopefully Pettis makes it now so we can have the co-main go ahead too!

Pettis' team say they're still working on his weight.

Looks great. The may Mac cut looked a tough one at the same weight.

I was looking forward to seeing Sean O'Malley fight again. Damn shame he's gonna miss out on fighting on such a big card.

Khabib looked rough making weight, but he made it thankfully.
McGregor looked well.
Aspen Ladd looked well dodge, looks like she was ready to collapse

Ariel is a pro. He never would have left out the apostrophe in 'Khabib's'.

The exclamation point stood out. Seemed too enthusiastic

What's the best way to view the fight on BT?

To sign up, its minimum 2 months (€29.99 monthly) and connection fee of €15.

So €75 overall.

Is there a cheaper alternative such as PPV? I'm not looking for streams or PMs.

I used a VPN on laptop and set location to Germany.

Bought PPV, HD version cost €17, working fine so far. Just hook up laptop to TV with HDMI cable.

Set to Germany, go to ufc.com and buy PPV.

I had it initially set to USA and almost paid €56.

Yes well unfortunately he has been using SARMs and just hoped they would not get picked up by usada as they are a fairly novel form of doping. Shame he has got burnt so early in his career but hopefully he will take this lesson on the chin.

That's what it seems like, unless it was a genuinely tainted supplement. I did a lot of research into SARMs a while back while I was looking for supplements. They're not regulated at the moment and are advertised as harmless when they're anything but. The particular SARM that he popped for is basically great for cardio and also helps with both building muscle and getting lean, so it definitely would have been an unfair advantage if he was using it.

It's a shame, I really like him and was very excited to see him fight again. He could be a big draw in the future.

Google translates automatically converts to English so you can’t tell you’re on a German site.

For what its worth, I have Khabib winning a decision and doing his usual routine. I just have that feeling about this.

Conor must be getting serious ppv points.

That Ferguson money can't be correct? Or else he is getting some PPV points too?

Brett from ESPN got the numbers over the phone and said he asked the guy to repeat that one, very strange number altogether.

I see TSN Canada are saying they have 1 million PPV pre-sales already, thats an incredible number.

Is the weigh in happening at 1AM on the UFC Youtube channel? No live stream up yet which is unusual, they usually have it primed and streaming long before the actual start of an event O_o

EDIT: Apparently here:

Weirdly doesn't appear on their UFC channel page, had tp find that link from a news article O_o

Just watching the weigh ins. Is there some kind of rule that the higher up the card you are, the more clothes/props you have to wear out to the scales??
