There is also the very real possibility that Conor will blow off making weight and show up 15+ pounds heavier than Mendes and settle for a non-title win with an asterisk and a belt match with Aldo once he recovers.
Just in my casual fan opinion if Mendes was to loose, I dont think the outcome would have been different with a 10 week camp, does that make sense?Quote:

I get ya. My reasoning is basically that one of the major parts of a good fight camp is ramping everything up to a certain point where you are mentally and physically peaking right at the right time, on fight night, and everything for months is planned around that. Conor has that benefit, Chad does not. The Alpha-male dudes are in pretty good shape all year, of course, but not fight-night shape.Quote:

This to me is Connors 1st real test. Poirer was but he either took a dive or just got clipped in the wrong spot. I thinbk CM is for real and beats up Mendes.
We will find out shortly. At least the weigh-ins are on ufc.com cause FS1 has some stupid ladies golf.
He even made 145 exactly in his last fight to prove he can make championship weight.Quote:

crazy to see the UFC running back to back shows in the same place, then in San Diego 3 days after that.
TUF 21 Finale: Ellenberger vs. Thompson is Sunday, and Mir-Duffee, UFC FN 71 is Wednesday.

Hard to tell if Mendez will bring the money here, but OSA needs to save this one off on his hard drive for all the Rory Glory included.

I'm buying in too all the hype.
Shady J give me a break with this Rory Mcdonald hype train. Trying to decide what's more unlikely, the UFC being rigged or Rory beating iron man. Both seem pretty unlikely.

May be the most informative MMA vid I've watched.
I post plenty of bullcrap, but don't skip this one.
You'll be forever awakened to the world of footwork.
We'll see how well Rory reacts to Lawlers lead foot dominance attempts. He has a better chance than i thought.

early prelims anyone: http://www.gofeed2all.eu/watch/35599...y-prelims.html
Rory + Mendes for small both.
Fighting the urge to load up on either. Rory at -153 and Mendes +150
(Need that time machine to take Connor -105 ugh)
any decent main event links?
According to that video I posted earlier. Rory will know how to better handle Lawlor's attempts at lead foot dominance.. It'll be interesting to see if that makes any dif. in the outcome.
Almeida with the knee heard round the world.

Some decent links over here too:

Were the prelims full of bloody fights too?
Fight of the night
dunno bout prelims
Sick knee!! Try harder to make weight next time kiddo.
My head hurts watching this
Anyone else sick of seeing/hearing about Rousey tonight?
They should be showing more Rory/Robbie and Connor/Mendes shit.
Rousey will win again first round, so why build it up during the event where Aldo bailed?
The commercials on these British feeds never get old. They make Americans look so weak sauce when it comes to drinking and gambling.
Those ring gfx were sick as fuck. This is coming from a gfx guy.
They were used a bunch in NFL + NHL playoffs. Great new tech.Quote:
