    LMFAO
    Results based.
    You don't understand his point.

    If the bookies offer 1/20 for Conor to win, just because he ends up winning doesnt mean they aren't' taking the punter for a ride.
    Fact is multiple people have talk about how they can't see any other result than a Conor win while also admitting g they do t know much about Holloway or even MMA. The bookie loves these people.

    I've dabbled in Semi Professional Punting on horses so believe me I know what he meant,the big brass bookies are down on Conor's followers and thats a fact the amount won from people I know from his first fight will take some clawing back from the bookies,should he lose and his punters do their money I doubt they'll of gotten the sweden money back.

    It really doesn't sound like you do.
    I've no idea what you call semi-professional btw.

    They absolutely made a loss on Sweden. Bit I've no idea why you think a loss here wouldnt make that back. They'll take far more bets on this fight than the payout last time.

    Tbh, MMA is a tiny market for Paddy power and they are probably happy to take a small loss on events like this in return for exposure (they'll be Should

    Not sure what to make of him, happy for his relative success so far. Certainly a character, which is aiding all the hype around him.

    Funny stuff, when do you ever see fighters that far down the card at the press conference.

    McGregor really is catching so much attention. I just hope it's not a distraction.

    Some intersting statistics on Holloway that I wasn't aware of. His lack of obvious power will still be his downfall on saturday though I think.

    ''Despite his youth, Holloway is one of the best strikers in the featherweight division, a statement proven true by his stat sheet. Through five career UFC fights, Holloway is tops in 145-pound history (and second overall in UFC history) when it comes to strikes landed on his opponent per minute. He is tied for the most knockdowns in featherweight history, has the third best striking defense in the weight class, and has connected with the second most significant strikes in the division's existence.''

    From this article:

    Anybody watching the pre-fight presser?

    Conor Mcgregor came out with this gem when he was asked about his style and why he was wearing shades.

    ''There's 2 things i love doing. Whupping ass and looking good. I'm doing one of em right now and i'll be doing the other one on saturday night''

    Gold!!!

    Here's the presser for anyone that missed it:



    Conor was in great form as usual, and Holloway seems like a really decent chap.

    Conor is now fighting for the Ivory Coast? Anyone notice that the Irish flag is backwards in the poster that Conor unveiled at the start. Dana should take that $2500 back.

    I'm not a big fan of Chael as a fighter, but he's hilarious.

    Also, it's mad to see how much attention Conor is getting.
