    I rarely watch weigh ins and am a relatively casual fan but can someone explain to me why so many fighters are coming in at what I assume is over the weight limit? Plenty of 155.5, 156 and so on weights already. Is it only strictly enforced on title fights?

    In fairness two sub loses to Bendo and Gunni are nothing to be ashamed of, he's the promoted pre lim fight which isn't bad at all! Should be main eventing though it's a weak card over all.

    Not looking like a junkie today! :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,541 ✭✭✭Davei141


    Lmfao Nate flinched at him and Conor jumped. Must have been expecting a scuffle.

    Great to see Conor looking human at the weigh in. I feel scared for nate


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,405 ✭✭✭Lukker-


    He's used the fat skinny gag far too much


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 7,269 ✭✭✭Gamebred


    Nate looking as expected,I thought maybe we'd be in for a suprise and see him in some nice shape but unfortunetely not,his kill or be killed is deafeatist in the extreme,he is going in there for a payday.

    He probably could've gone in heavier. Looked leaner than he did in his open training.

    I dunno - I always worry before a conor fight that this will be the one he loses - I dont have a clue what to expect to be honest.

    I like Diaz, I like Conor - Bring it on


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 7,269 ✭✭✭Gamebred


    168 after being eating a lot,155 should be a breeze for him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,339 ✭✭✭✭StringerBell


    Well controlled weigh in, funniest moment was when Diaz made a little move and McGregor flinched back out of it :)

    I do love Miesha, bothers me more everytime that Caraway or all people gets to go home with her. Holm looks in top shape, that fight could be closer then a lot seem to think, I think Tate might take it if it goes to decision, but Holly is looking good, looking focused and certainly has the skills to get her out of there.

    Diaz, well, shame he couldn't turn up in some decent shape but in fairness not exactly unexpected considering he had no time to get in fighting shape.

    Hope it outlasts most of the expectations and we get to see a good scrap while it lasts anyway

    Definitely his natural fighting weight.

    I thought Nate was in good shape tbh. He was never one to be totally ripped
