He didn't look as bad as he did when he was making 145, but he still didn't look great to be fair. He looked very dehydrated and drawn facially which I have to say is a good thing (to an extent). Most of his best performances have come when he weighed in looking like Skeletor so I do believe there is something in the weight-cut process that focuses his mind. On the other hand, he looked much better on the scales for UFC 205 and he weighed in for that at 154.4lbs. Amazing what 1.4lbs difference can make... unless of course he weighs more than he did last year.

Personally to me his best performance was Diaz 2, he cut nothing and looked fit and healthy. It's an interesting split on the weights, Floyd didn't have to cut for his for sure, Conor probably cut 10-15? All will be revealed tomorrow

Im all for a bet but I hate spoofers and there are lots coming into this thread from the boxing side. Hi Weldinho Great to see you over here :pac: Still think McGregor only has a 500-1 shot lol!

They made the decision to pay out, took a bit of flak for it from some "true believers" on the internet for a day or so, and then doubled down on it tonight. All in all quite funny, or at least mildly amusing. It's just business. An awful, shady, murky one at that but business nonetheless. There will be less than negligible impact on punters using them.

Would reflect poorly on us to such a huge worldwide audience and Americans are ultra sensitive when it comes to flags and anthem (see Colin Kapaernick) - GSTQ didn't provoke any booing in Croke Park so you'd like to think the long history of Irish fans of all sports respecting anthems remains in tact tomorrow night.

I was under the impression that all the team knew how amazing Floyd is and were confident in spite of this fact. But the way he was talking was as if he didn't think Floyd was anything special - completely dismissed a body jab question, saying "we have the answer to that", then basically said Floyd is too predictable. If that's truly what he thinks, and if it reflects the overall mood in camp, this could turn out very ugly, very quickly. Floyd is brilliant.
