    7 but they'll be the winners from lower down the card, will probably start with Frankie.

    That was lucky, I slept in well passed 5 a.m but got to see the finish. Khabib next please.

    Anyone got any footage of the post-fight with out the shïtty BT audio?

    A summary:

    Where the **** is my belt. 4.2 billion dollars. Cheap ****s, should have had it spitshined for me. Where the **** is my belt. Eddie tough but shouldn't have been in there with him. There's his belt, looks nice. I've ridiculed a lot of people on the roster and I'd like to take the time to apologise to absolutely nobody. Rogan thanked him and McGregor, very pointedly, said you're welcome and stormed off. A masterclass on the mic as well as the ring.

    There's a word they use in pro wrestling that I can't remember but basically describes a star so popular that even when playing a monster heel, gets cheered relentlessly. That's McGregor. Khabib and Ferguson tearing their hair out at that result.

    I don't think it's something we'll have to worry about anyway. He'll defend one of the belts he has next. Probably against Nate. Either that or in return for keeping both he'll give Aldo a rematch and have Ferguson v Khabib on the undercard for #1 contender.

    That was absolutely ridiculous. I thought he'd win but I didn't think he absolutely dominate like that. Eddie had nothing for him.

    Every takedown stuffed. Nonchalantly picking Alvarez apart. What a combo to finish

    Yeah Aldo wants absolutely zero of McGregor so that wont be happening if he values his health.

    Amazing that Eddie attempted to strike with him rather than go the Pettis route of grinding for takedowns.

    He tried several times and got laughed out of it.

    It's the only way I can see him keeping both belts.

    Thats not really true. Eddie tried repeatedly to grapple and take him down. Every time he tried, Conor either caught him with a left hand, stuffed it, or defended it against the cage.

    The idea that "Eddie didnt try to grapple!" is just very inaccurate.

    To the trolls who have decided to land in to give us all their expert thoughts on Conor and the fight..kindly turn around and go back the way you came in. If you dont have anything constructive to say dont bother posting and save yourself a ban.

    Very surprised Alvarez had nothing for him. Poor from Alvarez. He's capable of a much better showing than that.
