    Can someone give me the odds for a McGregor TKO in the first round right before the fight and say a week ago please? Sorry for being lazy but I'm useless at looking up odds...

    Not sure of the exact odds you are looking for but he was 5/6 to win by ko/tko within first 2 rounds and 16/1 to win within first 60 seconds.

    I still think it will be Masvidal next if Khabib Tony stays intact.

    That fight is April, if Khabib wins he has Ramadan until May 23th and then a full camp. Won’t be ready till around August. Can’t see Conor waiting that long.

    Justin isn’t a big enough fight at the moment. I’d love to see it and it’s a great match up stylistically but no way it happens next.

    Masvidal vs McGregor is surely the biggest fight they can put on next.

    Yeah I remember boards used to be lit up when a McGregor fight was out!!!

    Don’t know much about Cerrone but he seemed very laid back/disinterested in lead up to fight....Not particularly hungry...Maybe that is his usual way?? Or maybe he had leg injury?

    The guy is a veggie, there nothing going on with that guy bar a heartbeat, he was beat before the fight, happy with feeding off mc gregors fame. Mc gregor prob was in good shape but it was wasted on cowdung.

    A lot of people noting there being less interest in this fight than previous McGregor ones.
    But he was smashed in his last fight and comprehensively beaten, plus this wasn't a title fight.

    This win will have done his standing well, another victory over a decent opponent, and then once a big match up is made (Khabib 2, Ferguson, Masvidal) and there'll be a massive fuss all about McGregor again.

    You can't lose a big fight and not expect your standing to drop at least a bit !

    Who was the decent opponent? Him staying off the liquor?

    You're right about one thing, you don't know much about Cerrone.

    Infairness cowboy looked done before figjht even started. McGregor looked impressive all the same but nothing tp judge on really given cowboy was so banged up in recent fights and a powerful precision southpaw fighter was bad matchup for him. McGregor will eventually fight Diaz nxt in trilogy.

    4th Highest Gate of all time. Edging out UFC 200.
    1st-3rd are 205 (Alvarez), 229 (Khabib) and 129 (GSP v Shields)

    Skip Holly Holm, the rest was good, much better than the names suggested it would be beforehand. *missed the early prelims*

    ah now, the Oleinek fight was close to fight of the night for me! Thought it was excellent, living up to his name very well. I'm going to search out some of his others off the back of it. Depends what takes your fancy I suppose.

    Really, wow for me it was a never ending squeeze in the first round and he was so gassed in the second he barely made it over the line

    It was like a good Maia fight, super technical and the bit of MMA that I understand least really. I do wish it was him 10 years younger mind because jesus he needed Oxygen after 5 mins :D

    Mod: Fighter bashing and tasteless comments towards Cerrone. Don't post that kind of thing again.
