    Maybe I'm crazy but I thought Conor looked better than he did for the Siver weigh in. That's not to say he looked good. He looked completely drained, just a little less than he did against Siver, which is a good sign. I think it's clear his days at 145 are numbered, they have to be. The weight cut looks like it kills him. He always looks healthy in the ring, but it has to take it out of him. He never looks like he's at a healthy weight at the weigh-in.

    Had to laugh at Faber's face when Conor pushed him, genuine shock. Wtf do you expect when you grap your teammates oponent like that when he's on a cut?

    He always looks fine come fight night, but nobody has taken him deep and made him work hard after that kind of rough cut.

    Mendes has the ability to apply that pressure.

    The longer the fight goes, the more the balance swings towards Mendes.

    The embedded showed the "scuffle" , Conor calls him little man, Faber says are you sure your going to be ok there both clearly joking until faber touches Conor he loses it and says hes going to break his nose haha. All seems very strange non the less becuase it was clearly a joke at the start!

    Any luck? I'd imagine they are getting quite an influx of traffic at the moment. I hope they handle it and there is no delays like mayweather pacquiao to allow for the late subscribers who had difficulties

    Think it was all fine and joking till Faber touches conor. obviously and understandably and as dee said in it just before conor may be bit cranky when hungry I no I am aswel lol also maybe not feeling the best cutting weight and as a lot of us would know when you not feeling the best people touching you or at you in anyway it's easy to snap.
    Was really a Notting moment Faber looked shocked and like a lost sheep when conor walked away.

    Can't wait for the fight looking at all the pics and videos wish I had went over :(

    To me it looked like Faber had that planned. 1. What was he doing standing outside Conors room? 2. He was already extending his arms to Conor's stomach before Conor rubbed his hair.

    As we have seen on embedded and from he's teamname Faber is a douche.

    Not to mention: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=96082292&postcount=325 #neverforget #gaysteelmill

    Re point number 2, no he clearly was not. Your hatred for faber or love of Conor is clearly blinding you from the truth. Look a little closer.

    Being as objective as possible, Conor put his hands on Faber first, and he looked like he was in a good position for an arm drag

    I'm as big a conor supporter as anyone, but looked like he was just acting the maggot with faber, be it because he's very tired, or saw the cameras and wanted to get some extra publicity or was just being a bit of an arse.

    Yeah Conor was being a dick but Faber should know the pains of going through a weight cut and not approach him in the first place.

    The sudden influx of MMA tacticians was bad enough, but you weight cut gurus need a long, hard look at yourselves. Jesus Christ, this thread.

    Between weigh in and the fight, is McGregor allowed put more weight on? What kind of gain is possible based on the type of food he'd be on?

    If you pat a guy on the head and call him little man in such a condescending way I'd say you started the argument.

    Yep, he'll be back up to somewhere around 160. A lot of the weight cut in the last days is water, so rehydration is the key here

    A 20lbs gain is probably in the cards, a lot of rehydration and refuelling
