    I don't think Pride will take over Aldo, he went straight for take downs against strikers. Think he will do same.

    I'd imagine alot of people lumped on Aldo. He's odds are shortening. I got Aldo by KO at 11/2 a few weeks ago, think its 7/2 now?

    I have a very tasty treble done. Aldo by KO, Mendes by KO and Gunnar by sub. Have I any hope? I'd be happy to lose the money if Conor wins.

    Well naturally enough - it's a two horse race so one drifting means the other is likely to shorten. Conor does fairly divide opinion so i guess it wouldn't be too surprising to see people lumping on Aldo - but i imagine there are just as many lumping on McGregor. I remember one lad had about 10k on him before 189 (before Aldo pulled out).

    So it still seems strange to me to see such a big move - given that both are likely to be well backed. The bookies obviously have a different opinion than a few weeks ago.

    My opinion from a betting point of view is as I posted previously. I think it's a very tough one to call and as such the current odds of 10/11 vs 11/10 either way are probably fair.

    In terms my opinion as to why the drift on McGregor - I'm not sure - which is why i wanted to see if anyone had any thoughts as to why - rumored injuries, trouble making weight etc.

    Id imagine the price swing is due to the amount of people jumping on aldos inflated odds

    I'm just gonna rock up to the main entrance and hopefully get directed from there. Asked a security guy but I'm not sure if he knew what I was on about but he said go to main entrance and down some stairs or something.

    Good interview form these irish lads and a girl on this podcast with Chael Sonnen about UFC 194.

    Chael comes in at 22 minutes.

    Worth a listen

    Called Chapter 194

    EDIT: not much about 194 just Chael :D

    In regards to some of the "fans" that are currently gracing Las Vegas with their presence, it's pretty similar to the type who would go to one big Ireland away game every few years. There were some right morons on my flight from London to Vegas yesterday, shouting and singing, drinking straight vodka they had bought in duty free. There were a few warnings from staff but we had no delays. Some of the Irish walking around the hotels are an embarrassment, honestly I've seen 3 or 4 that wouldn't look out of place if they were sitting on O'Connell Bridge begging for money for a hostel.

    All the pros seem to be backing Aldo. I think it's very close to call but I think Aldo has a few more weapons so I would give him the edge. I might put a small bet on Aldo. That way if Aldo wins I cover the cost of the pay per view and if Conor wins I'll be delighted and I won't care about losing the bet in the slightest :)

    I keep flipping on how this is gonna go.Couldn't bet on Aldo though so i have decided to abstain from betting on this one,value just isn't there.

    A lot of the pros picking Aldo are going off Conors last fight which he won but at times he looked in trouble but a lot of factors played into that fight which won't be at play this time.His weight cut seems to be on point this time,i'm not seeing him everywhere doing too much media and he isn't facing late any change of opponents or injuries so i'm starting to feel slightly more confident at this moment.
