    I havnt a clue but landsberg seemed to call the incident at the weigh ins staged. Hes a bit of a moron and his interviews are horrible. Always looks for a reaction.

    I don't think Ronda will be even fighting again.

    Lads this is not a good sign at all.

    It's one thing being involved in amateur dramatics but genuine arguments like these that he is having with fighters that he isn't even fighting, both in the flesh and on Twitter, are bound to drain him somewhat, not too mention be needlessly distracting. Maybe not a great deal but at this level even a little stress can be the difference between winning and losing.

    Maybe I'm being paranoid but something seems up with not just Conor but the camp. At the start of the week things seemed much different than they do now. Almost everyone involved was busy on Twitter and other SM but not so much the last 48-72 hours or so.

    Hope I'm wrong.

    Whatever about Conor distracted what about Khabib and Woodley? they could slip up too eye off the ball.

    yeah I think in her mind its the ronda show or no show. i dont mean to sound **** and I might get banned but nunes looks quite intersexed or something, in terms of her body and face, she really looks imposing, much more so than rousey, I've a feeling she'll have the brass for a while, she looks like a beast, super fit, powerful and she's young too.

    she also has that sharp punchy style we see more now with wonderboy, mcgregor and joanna. do you notice for years, wrestler dominant fighters ruled, now the muay thai style, back kicks,sharp accurate well timed punches are all flourishing. great to see.

    Eh lads wonder boy is a good looking man and invited shape
    Nothing wrong with saying that

    No need for having a go at someone


    He wasn't having a go I don't think. Bit of banter is all!!

    To be fair there is gulf of difference between saying Wonderboy is a good-looking guy and saying he could 'turn' any man!!!

    To be fair there is a gulf of difference between saying Wonderboy could turn "many a man" and "any man".

    It's called hyperbole.

    Conor planing ahead Woodley has WW belt Kabib will prob win tomorrow night making him NO1 contender for the LW should he win it

    I don't see how people think Eddie was rattled at the weigh ins?

    Wouldn't say rattled but looked a bit pissed at the end that he never got a decent cheer.

    I get ya BUT...... Every other fighter wants the red party night. Conor must get 10000000000000000000000000000 tweets a week calling him out. Looking at the kebieb (spelling) video Conor seems relaxed enough. I would say most fighters have learned by now that to get your name tagged with conor is a good thing.

    Any/many/whatever.

    Ok, we get it. You find the guy attractive.

    No offence intended I'm sure. I think it was just a bit of misplaced banter on rustys part perhaps.

    Sorry.

    he was being nice and you made yourself sound worse.
    most would say "jasus he's a sharp looking fooker and in savage shape, he'd clean up in temple bar of a saturdee"

    But maybe yours is more of a sirley temple bar then!

    boom... im off ta bed, alone Beaver, that's not an invitation ya big butch flirt ya ;)

    Eddie looks like a guy who hasn't slept in about 3 days.

    Biggest take-away from the weigh-ins:

    There's not a lot in the height difference between them up to the shoulders....it's the neck and head difference that gives Conor the advantage. Sizeable advantage too, up to 2 inches.

    This usually ends in the 'armchair psychologist' domain but....

    Eddie did seem particularly flustered by the large crowd reaction. For a man giving Conor ellecution lessons last week, he spat out a salad of random words when interviewed by Joe.

    He couldn't finish his sentence at the end of the interview with Joe. Like just blurting out random noises cuz he was so annoyed with the booing.

    Eddie 100% was rattled. The fact he couldn't even string a sentence together proves he's been broken, and probably by the fans more than Conor

    I'd say hes praying for a good nights sleep looks like he hasnt slept in days, this is probably gonna be the most watched mma fight ever Conor is used to it not sure Eddie will be his usual self,

    He will be shooting from the bell regardless.
