Proof that sometimes dreams actually do come true.Quote:

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.

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.
