its good that this might actually end up with fighters getting better pay, although it could also backfire in a massive way. he wont go to bellator, and without the zuffa machine behind him, conor aint worth a shit.

[When Jokers Attack]

Nick Diaz suspension reduced to 18 months. Can return in August.

[Uncle Liam]

As if Conor is doing this for anyone but himself

[When Jokers Attack]

It's happening

[CHRLY]

Should be a good one tonight: 

 

I don't mind who wins really, though I do side with TJ. Should be a really good match up anyway.

[When Jokers Attack]

I really hope Curz wins, what a moment that would be. Really good card so far.

[The Nal]

Hes taking the weight gain seriously!

 

Also, Matt Mitrione's eye?! 

 

[metallimuse]

Not watched yet going home to catch up now.

That eye looks fucking disgusting.

I don't get how McGregor is gunna drop that weight to go down again like he says.That can't be healthy surely?

[t8yman]

he's always walked around at about 170 by all accounts, and I've read that in terms of career - he's actually fought more fights at LW than at FW, I read 12 at LW and 9 at FW IIRC.

The weight cut conversation is a long running one, some fighters cut 30lb plus, some suffer terribly trying to cut 15lbs.

Its a tough situation, and not one there is a clear answer to. 

[metallimuse]

 Virgin Media ended my recording going into the 5th round of title fight FML!!!

Decent card I thought. Thought the Alverez fight would be a bit more explosive but hey ho. Mitreone's eye was crazy!I've never seen swelling that fast!

[t8yman]

eddie alvarez eye swelled up immediately when he blew his nose last year

 

 

 

[metallimuse]

Aye I was trying to remember who that was as I saw that fight but no where near the disfigurement of that swelling.

[When Jokers Attack]

UFC 197 presser is on just now. McGregor says RDA will be done inside 1 minute and then he wants 170 title.

[metallimuse]

Just came on to say the prediction. I'm still rubbish with weights though, please tell me 170 isn't the one above the one he's challenging for now?

Wait it is isn't it? I'd LOVE to see him against Lawler!

[metallimuse]

I think he'd do Lawler you know.Lawler been rocked the past two fights but not been finished, I think Conor would finish it.

[When Jokers Attack]

They wouldn't let him do 170 this year anyway, that would be LW and FW on hold while he went to WW. McGregor has tough fights coming up with RDA and then hopefully Frankie Edgar, so let's see what happens with them first. I do have a feeling he is going to knock RDA out though. I'm done picking against him (not picked him to win a fight since Siver).

[metallimuse]

But if he beats RDA I'd drop the FW and go for WW. Lawler's past two fights have been gold and the purse would be HUGE!

[When Jokers Attack]

Then by going for WW, LW is then on hold. Condit/Lawler 2 is what I want to see. Speaking of Condit,he is going to be on Rogan's podcast at some point tonight. 

[t8yman]

One thing is for sure, Dana fucking hates Conor now. I don't see him taking Conor for a limo ride down the strip again any time soon.

The way he responded to the point McG raised about the lack of belt on the poster was quality. And the correct answer.

I think he has a good chance of beating RDA, but damn it would be funny to see Conor KTFO and brought down a peg or two.

[t8yman]

also, conor talking over RDA all the time was fucking annoying. forget the fact it was rude, it was plain annoying - like some child who wasn't getting all of the attention.

and damn - Meisha looked good.

I think thats all been overblown. I doubt he takes McGregor having a go at the poster department too seriously. Its business and he knows McGregor is money. One things for sure, the bigger these PPVs get, the more friction theres going to be over the Reebok thing. Fertitta comparing it to a school uniform didn't help either. 

Bit of a step up from 155 to 170 though!

[t8yman]

youve only got to look at the way dana looks at him to tell he despises him. despite his value.

Andy Cole and Teddy Sheringham hated each other but they still passed the ball. 

[When Jokers Attack]

Thing is If you look at the poster when GSP/Penn fought, they both had their belts and was promoted as a super fight, both had their belts at press conferences as well. Conor looked annoyed with Dana's response though. Just his body language.
