    Look it up yourself if you want.

    Charity work and donations, spending time with terminally ill children.
    Never leaves a fan with an unsigned autograph regardless of how long it takes.

    Ehh, quite the contrary!

    His act to sell ppv's isn't what he's really like and is working perfectly.
    He's making people tune in and is making hugemoney for the UFC like no one else can at the moment.

    Yeah what a disgrace conor is. Being 100% dedicated and passionate about martial arts. Constantly thanking his fans and taking pictures. Telling people to try and do what they love for a living. He's an absolute sham

    That's hardly doing anything for Ireland. More his public image. ;)

    To be fair conor has no control over the amount of unsigned autographs in the Universe.

    Yes, but not with class and manners. I do, however, admire what he is doing and achieved.

    I won't be able to watch it live, but I am really looking forward to seeing the replay. Best of luck to Conor, it's fantastic to have another Irishman at the top of yet another sport. Jaysus, we're great.

    I have a feeling Conor will loose but I had the same feeling this time before the Aldo fight so that means he will win and quickly!

    I'd be hugely shocked and disappointed if Conor loses tonight, imo this is just an exhibition bout against a guy who for someone of Conor's striking skill will just be a human punching bag. Nate's a good fighter but this is a bad matchup for him

    Wouldn't say there would be many of them.

    They're all over at the fight in LA

    LOL. (But it's Las Vegas m'dear not Los Angeles, but whatevah).

    Better be careful now, I could be banned for racism against my fellow entitled citizens or something. So I will shut up before the mods chase me.

    Conor's two losses were submissions early in his career when he transitioned from a boxer.

    Robin Black does an excellent job of charting his transformation.

    As I was with his other fights I am hoping he gets knocked the f*ck out. People can talk about it all being an act and selling the fight but the guy comes across as an absolute scumbag imo, his little attempt to cheap shot Diaz (who I would dislike for the same reasons) shows him for what he is. I don't think he loses though, looking at some of the comments from the other possible opponents for tonight, Diaz seemed to be hand picked for a handy fight heading into UFC 200 and a big title match.
