    Fool me once, shame on you.... Fool me twice, shame on me.

    (Fool me five times....)

    As a betting man, I just cannot spend the cash to go and still have the high possibility that Aldo may pull out.

    Also, would be my third trip to Sin City this year so the same buzz is not there.

    She was with me at 189, If I do this I will prob have to miss the dublin event and off the beer totally for 4 months. Would need a partner and most my friends not into MMA.

    Wonder could some venue be booked for a private party, ticketed affair be organised. Any buddy business people here? A fund it could be set up. Find a dublin venue, ensure they can get satellite feed. BYOB set up where people pay more for entrance. Hire some security.

    If Mc Gregor Aldo doesn't happen I assume Frankie will be ready. Thoughts?

    Pulled the trigger this morning. Turned out about over €500 cheaper than the Mendes fight.

    Well it has a bit of a anti climax feel to it after how the last one went, and everyone is a little tentative.

    I am sure lots of people who went over last time would not be able to fork out for another Vegas trip in the same year.

    Fingers crossed I can make it this time.

    I don't know but I think aldo will show up this time, his legacy depends on it. Show up get ko'd maybe but at least he tried. Aldo is a legend hate to see no shows ruin it.

    I have as much respect for fighters who lose as those who win

    Chris lytle imo the toughest fighter ever to have fought, he was never champion material but he fought 100% every time

    I'm booked up as well, heard the announcement being reported at 4am and said I'd hold off....that lasted till 10am. Thurs - Mon Shannon to Vegas via London for €550 each return so way cheaper than when we went in July. Hotel prices are very reasonable right now for that weekend too!
    Just think of it as an early Christmas gift to yourself!!

    Any chance you see Edgar on this card to offset the chance something happens? Basically a late change of opponent if something happens.
    Lot easier to step in if in the middle of a training camp id guess.

    Possible on Edgar if UFC are smart. Love to tick heavyweight title fight off the list too esp with Werdum he is a class act.

    if Holloway gets past Oliveira in 2 weeks they'd be smart to put him against Edgar, he's the backup of backups if both Aldo and Edgar don't make it
