    begrudgery means resenting success.

    Embarrassing drunken louts do not make me jealous of them. I felt sorry for Holms

    I feel sorry for her in some respects. Having those creepy Brazilian and American questions was odd.
    The Irish fans bar one were grand. They were having a laugh and both Holly and Megan commented on it being fun numerous times. I don't see what the big deal was.

    What do you mean by that? Poznan in Poland presented Ireland with some kind of award for having such good well behaved fans in their city during euro2012, yet everyone on boards was disgusted with the embarrassing behavior. I think this is completey fake outrage. People across all forums on boards seem to be embarrassed to be Irish an awful lot.

    Fair play to em, spending thousands to go to party central and get drunk and have a laugh. Once they aren't wrecking the city or fighting its all good.

    Accumulator for the weekend. Sterling, Sage and Rose up so far. I'll be on some buzz if everyone wins and I'm just waiting on Conor.

    Who do ye think will let me down??

    Why? She looked like she was having a great time! The cringey-smutty stuff really wasn't from the Irish fans anyhow.

    The Q&A thread on sherdog, comprised mostly of Americans seems to think that the Irish fans were really entertaining and better than the usual boring stuff so I don't think they were too embarrassing.

    I do find that kind of thing cringy myself but it's just fans having the craic in general.

    Ah lads, the Irish making a show of themselves at the Holly Holm Q&A. It's embarrassing. Live for the world to see!!!

    Mortified to say the least only 7 minutes in and you can hear the drunks shouting abuse, booing, 'bring Mcgregor out' etc., totally disrespectful and disgraceful behavior.

    He's usually quite alright at these things. He's on with Joey Diaz later so I'm guessing Diaz gave him a pot cookie from his stash.

    From that small clip, Conor doesn't look quite as ghostly as he has at other weigh-ins. Will be interesting to see him up closer.

    Fighters miss weight from time to time, but we are talking a small amount so they give the fighter is given an hour to lose it. If they dont they get fined 20% of the show money (which is given to the opponent) and they make some sort of arrangement on what weight they will actually fight at. If its a title fight though then it usually becomes a non title fight though as a result. Normally its the non title fights that end up having guys not on weight due to a bad camp or an injury stopping them preparing properly, although you have the odd guy like Kevin Gastulem who was just ridiculous, he came in once 9 pounds over.

    I can't wait for this, i'm in the nice position of not caring who wins, i don't like McGregor personally and it would be funny to see the hype train derail. at the same time it's nice to see an Irish lad do well, i respect how far McGergor has gone and don't begrudge him his success even if i dislike him if he wins fair play to him. Just hoping for a great fight and may the best man win.
