I've missed watching Tony Ferguson so much, can't wait for his fight and hope his knee is in the condition it needs to be.
Had faith dealt him a different hand he could be UFC lightweight champion now, with his mental strength I don't put it past him rectifying that in the future!

Absolutely, he's the rightful LW champ in my mind. I think he would have taken Khabib if it wasn't for that pesky cable.
The 150k he's getting to fight tonight is an insult imho.

surely he'll get more than that

no doubt in my mind he'll beat khabib, fancy he'd beat conor also
I love the way that man fights...he has it all

The win bonus is more insulting to be honest

According to the UFC site the first early prelim is 11:15pm, no sign of it unless I'm missing something?

Nothing on UFC Twitter nor Ariel's Twitter.

Conor/Nate II on Fight Pass now.

That's odd. I'm on the UFC UK one and it's 11:15.

And we are at 11:32pm now and it's only rd 3 of 5 in Conor/Nate II.

I guess they could just cut out of it.

if you want the most accurate available start times check the bookies times where the odds are listed for the fight.

boylesports had it 5 am earlier now adjusted to 5:15.

khabib was 8/15 earlier, now 4/7, figured this was from the home crowd money starts to flow in. but strangely conor was 6/4 now 13/8. so they put both prices out, guess that means that they aren getting much action on the fight either way. probably because most Irish either want to back conor or nothing but don't want to risk much backing a fighter who
a) is simply not as good as his opponent
b) lost the plot and has been plagued by legal issues, possibly has mental/drug issues
c) already has all the money and fame a guy could want and doesn't need the UFC any more.
d) hasn't fought in the octagon for 2 years

we have a Russian guy at work and muppets have been betting 50s and 20s on Conor at even money all week.

another big difference in this fight is that public opinion, other UFC fighters etc are all against him now, other than people here i guess. of course Conor fanboys will say he will use tha as fuel, the same people will tell you he doesn't care what people thinks or about legal issues. it can't be both.

legal stuff messes up a mans head, dont care how much money you have.

conor's a goner tonight. no doubt in my mind.

Very good advice. Betfair have it 5:10am now.

of course that could change through the card.

Going to be halfway across the Atlantic as this kicks off, I hope the inflight WiFi is decent!

You know what is motivating Conor in my opinion, its the fact that he has to get into the cage with that Russian later on and the cage door is going to be locked. Do you think he wants to take a bad beating in front of millions of people? Feck no he doesn't. Conor is plenty motivated in my opinion.
