    Jorge has 23 pounds to cut since he agreed the fight on Saturday.
    I can't see him having a realistic chance of winning without a proper camp.

    Sounds like he got what he wanted, a massive pay day.

    Aldo by KO/TKO
    Masvidal by KO/TKO just have a feeling it will happen even though Usman wins on paper points all day long.

    Volkanovski by Points and Petr Yan by Points. Can't see Aldo or Holloway being finished within 5 rounds.

    3 piece and a soda.

    I think Holloway will be too good for Volkanovski and will win on points. Petr beats Aldo on points too, for me.

    I was thinking with it being in Abu Dhabi it would be earlier Irish time - I didn’t think it would be on at 6/7 local Sunday morning....That is my Saturday night hopes over...

    Has Jorge been doing much training or anything reckon he done **** all after he had is argument with Dana can’t see him winning on 6 days

    Max looks weird with hair and also said he has not been doing much sparring, I was surprised he was beat in first fight

    Seems like he has been slugging away.

    DC said he was talking crap about that.
    Said he was doing far more than just the zoom sessions he claims to have only being doing.

    Happy with Masvidal stepping in tbh. Looking forward to the Holloway rematch as well.

    Really hoping for an Aldo win. I don't know why everyone's writing him off. Super close fight against Marlon ( which i thought he won). Marlon was on a tear until he ran in to Cejudo. Yan stopped a 40 year old Faber....

    Yeah was just thinking about the Conor/Cerrone fight that was ppv wasn't it?my memory isn't great lately but i think i payed on top of my bt subscription for that fight and so i was thinking this card is pretty stacked so maybe they were gonna try it on again for a ppv here.

    Jorge heavily rumoured to be on the cover of EA UFC 4. I hope not as that means an instant loss Saturday night as the cover sacrifice requires.

    Hope Mike is alright but i thought if the team has it, the fighter gets pulled as well.

    I don't think they have been together yet, from looking at twitter Mike's still in the US.

    Oooff. When was the last time Masvidal and Brown were in contact I wonder? Could he develop symptoms this week?
