    Khabib's padded record. Imagine being 14-0 in MMA, on the back of a hugely successful Sambo career and fighting a lad making his pro debut.

    Yeah that's a joke and should be disregarded.

    However, this isn't like some boxer who has a 20+ win streak where he's been fighting bums the whole time. He has a 10-0 record in the UFC and comprehensively dismantled the 3 best opponents that he faced in that run.

    Genius by Khabib. Cool as ice.

    Hardly genius, but pretty smart. He is always going to be on the losing side in a presser against McGregor, so using CM's lateness as an excuse to flounce out is the best outcome for him.

    I know this gets asked a million times and it varies but....

    What time do you expect the McGregor fight to start? I have very little interest in the under card

    Good interview here from Chael. I like his take on Khabib leaving the press conference.

    Between 5-6. The event has to be over by 6:am, to play it safe you should be ready for 4:45 i'd say.

    If Khabib misses weight what happens? Is he stripped of the title and the fight goes ahead with only Connor being able to win the title? Or does it just become a non title fight?

    Khabib is a champion and top pro fighter. I had no doubt he would make weight for such a momentous fight.

    More likely the ref will stop it rather than submission if Khabib wins

    I reckon he was irked that everyone was talking about his weight even though he made weight like a boss the last two fights after the hospitalisation.

    How is it a statement? It was obviously a tough weight cut for him so he probably just wants to get weighed ASAP so he can rehydrate, eat and go for a sleep. Nothing more than that

    I forgot the weigh in window was 2 hours. I thought they only had 1. You know Conor is going to drag this out.

    Reading a lot of "Khabib looking pretty good" comments. Good that he's made weight and, you know, not in hospital or anything but I didn't think he looked great at all there. Quite frail.

    I think he looked slightly more deflated than he did before 205, maybe he's a bit heavier than then?
