    So it's confirmed Aldo is out and Mendez is in. How many fights is that now that Aldo has pulled out on?

    Lol. He's missing a great payday too y'know. Only remember Aldo missing 1 fight but he's undefeated for nearly a decade so saying he's yellow is a bit much.
    Realistically he was never going to be able to fight & UFC should have cancelled the fight last week but chose not to. Now they have a farcical Interim fight which doesn't even feature Edgar who is ranked above McGregor & Mendes in the official UFC rankings

    He's pulled out on like 5 title fights including this one in recent years and if you can show me where I called him yellow... yea that would be great.

    Saying he's pulling out of fights what else are you insinuating?
    He's fought all the main contenders the last decade from Mike Brown, Cub Swanson, Urijah Faber, Kenny Florian, Korean Zombie, Chad Mendes, Ricardo Lamas, Frankie Edgar.
    If you're unable to train you shouldn't fight simple as; the injury was too severe to recover from in time and a huge target come belltime, not to mention the big weight cut Aldo always does.

    I was actually implying he's injury prone not "yellow". He seems to be accumulating more and more little injuries in the past couple of years now.

    That happens with champions Chris Weidmann and Cain Velasquez didn't fight in 1 or 2 years respectively before the last fight. GSP was the same....oh dear the 'Phillip Brooks' shirt wasn't near the worst offender :o

    The Reebok uniforms are horrible! I'm going to miss the tapout and original gear the fighters had.

    I'm awaiting a poem, a song or maybe a Jeremy reunion IF he wins.

    Deep down I know the bandwagon will role on and I'll be called a "begrudger" by casuals who wouldn't know what a Tim Sylvia was if he crying right in front of them.

    Just bought the fight on UFC.TV. Intend on watching it on my ATV. I presume it's like the WWE Network that you can watch it back from the beginning or live throughout. Might just get up at 9 and watch it on demand. How it the live stream compared to the network?

    Tim Sylvia is Anderson Sylvia's brother ;)
    Yeah it sickened me when Dana White said where was Ireland 5 years ago for the UFC. He must have missed UFC 93 or just been traumatised by Tom Egan

    Aldo is the champ so the winner is interim champ and then fights Aldo .

    It's gotten a decent bit of Irish press. Ash Daly from Ultimate Fighter was interviewed on RTE Radio's current affairs programme this morning, the presenter was clueless of course.

    Getting a lot of slack for saying my money is on Mendez! I want Conor to win, but I'm thinking Mendez will take him down in the 3rd and we'll get a sub win.

    I'm not sure if Conor has fought a wrestler before. I rewatched some of his fights today on youtube. He's good at springing back to his feet after been taking down. It will be a test for sure.

    McGregor has a serious reach advantage. I think he'll win by stoppage. TKO ground n pound,second round.

    If McGregor gets full mount on a wrestler like Chad and finishes him there, i'll eat my hat.
