Does this mean that UFC 200 will be Conor v Rafael?
Cause then I would pay to fly out again to Vegas for this.
Proof that sometimes dreams actually do come true.Quote:

Fascinating.

Seriously going to fire on Nate if hes like +550'ish.
Honestly +425 is the correct line here and the drunks will fire on Conor all day, so +550 could come to pass quickly. Just look at the weight cut hes facing. If he had time to put together an actual camp, he would be +325,
+265....?

nope.
Dana says the fight will be at 170

Amazing. If he wins this, and beats RDA at 200.....him vs Robbie at 170 in December is a real possibility
LOL 170
Dana said he could have gotten fight at 160. McGregor decided to be a tough guy and said 170. He is either a complete idiot or will be looked at as the baddest motherfucker around.
Very true. Diaz looked awesome in his last fight. He completely dominated and I think was like +250..Quote:

I'd caution against reading too much into Nate's last performance. He got super deep inside Johnson's head with his shit talking and Stockton one-two act. Yeah he worked it brilliantly but Johnson checked out of that fight intellectually in the first 90 seconds or so.
And Im sorry but its not like Johnson has lateral movement on his best day. I expect Nate to get peppered by a highly evasive Conor and spend the entire fight looking personally insulted while whiffing punches at where Conor was a fraction of a second ago.
I would absolutely love to see him land another triangle while shooting middle fingers at God again but I sure as shit wont be expecting it.
Press conference at 4 EST.
LOL does anyone actually believe Conor is walking around at 177lb for a 145lb fight 10 days out? I call 100% bullshit.
http://www.sportsjoe.ie/mma/this-is-...ight-now/66615
There isn't a chance in fucking hell he was cutting 32lbs in 10 days before the fight.Quote:
Jim Edwards @MMA_Jim
I spoke to McGregor's team earlier this week his walk around weight is 177lbs so will still cut a little to make welterweight #UFC196
Presser on here....
http://www.ufc.com/media/ufc-196-pre...ent=1456334373
While he might be exaggerating on his current weight a bit.....he's always come into camps heavy and makes huge cuts coming into fights. It's part of the reason why his coach wanted him to vacate the 145 belt once he won it....he was too concerned that Conor was making these aggro weight cuts which could affect his long term health.Quote:

He walks around at 170, from what I understand (which is why he looks like if Skelator had a son with the Burger King at weigh ins previous to this fight).
Stoked for this presser.
Is Todd hosting the presser?
Ok so 3 weeks out....he was at 170 for that fight. That actually sounds reasonable and likely.Quote:

7-10 days out, he was probably at 160 ish.
Before cutting, down to 155.
Weigh in 145.
That aint close to 177 10 days before a fight at 145. It is about 17lbs heavier than presumed weight at same time of the fight you mentioned. Which is why it is bullshit. The guy is 5'9 if he was pushing 180 ripped to shreds he would look like like a damn bodybuilder.
Meanwhile Nate is probably walking around at about 180-185 I am guessing. He has said in the past how much he hates what he has to do to get down to 155 so at 170 he should be loving life.
Presser is already G.O.A.T. five minutes in
The UFC runs so good. They are gonna make more money off this fight than with RDA, which is a super fight title match!
"THE ENTIRE UFC IS ON STEROIDS"
I don't usually watch these pressers, but this is solid gold
Im thinking, Diaz never got his M.E.N.S.A. application.
Conor on his opponents being out due to injury: "They all have sore vaginas already"
Someone link me to a replay these dumb motherfuckers took so long I started making dinner and missed it.
A few pizzas and milkshakes and Conor will be eyeing middleweight.
Conor looked pretty big to me, standing next to Diaz.
Conference (starts at around 26 minutes in):

I did like Connor saying "I don't give a fuck about weight. I only care about the weight of my checks and they are all super heavyweight"
That was even more entertaining than I expected.
Conor seems like a douche, I hope he gets his ass handed to him.
I almost never watch these things but that was pretty fucking good.Quote:

he wasn't ever scheduled for 145 for this fight. he was fighting dos anjos for the 155 belt.Quote:
