    Lads, drop the handbags and backseat modding. There was a thread recently from a poster offering tickets. If you need them, ask him.
    Buying/Selling tickets is ok here as long as you get the go ahead first and aren't looking for more than face value. If you're a suspected tout you'll be banned.
    Leave it there please and don't derail the thread.

    So, Aldo is now the now the No. 1 P4P fighter according to UFC (Since Jones was taken off the rankings). I'd say Conor will be more than happy to let everyone know if he beat the no. 1 guy in the world.

    Conor surely wouldn't bring something like that up would he?!

    Maybe lucozade, powerade etc, where it provides fast acting carbs.
    But the the likes of mobster is loaded up with a lot of extra ****e.

    Call me old fashion, but I enjoy getting my caffine from a good coffee.

    I'd love to see some figures from his endorsements, I'd say he's making more from them now than his fights, even the Aldo fight with PPV.

    He's got endorsements with all the main UFC sponsors nearly:

    Reebok
    Muscle Pharm
    Bud Light
    Monster

    Personally I find a double espresso before weight training better then any pre work out or isotonic drink.

    That's his plan and he's executing it perfectly. As long as he keeps doing what he's doing and doesn't do a jon Jones on it he'll be a very rich man

    What about a cardio workout? How long would the caffeine keep working?

    I'd take it before cardio for a bit of energy too, and about 250ml of water pre and the 250ml to .5l during. It'd keep me going for an entire work out as long as I had enough food eaten prior to it.

    Most of the time you see sponsored athletes/performers drinking from a Monster can its just water.
    Specifically Monster Tour Water

    It is incredible. I think we're all familiar with the "on the dole" video after the Brimmage fight. To think of how far he's risen in such a relatively short amount of time, it's staggering.

    Title fight, living the high life and major sponsorship deals. That is why it's hilarious to hear and read others suggesting he needs to 'change his attitude'. There's bound to be a few good tweets and pics with all the SBG lads staying in that house as well.

    A little off topic but if I can’t get answer here I doubt there’s one to be got.

    Planning a stag (in Ireland) for July and would like to work it around the fight on the 11th. Agenda is: activity - beers – club – somewhere to watch the fight.

    Given the time is there anywhere that is actually showing the fight? Hotel resident’s bar maybe?…or is best bet to rent a gaff and buy it in that way?

    Any thoughts welcome.

    Cheers

    There will defo be places showing the fight.. The woolshed murphys and most likely the opium rooms i'm assuming will all have the fight on as they have in the past. Maybe just ring them up and ask them to make sure

    im really not sure i would want to be out and about at 3am with a load of 'fight fans' for this one. especially if he loses, it could be a long aul journey back to your accommodation afterwards....

    Why wouldn't you won't to be out? The atmosphere in the Living Room for his fight v Siver was second to none. I personally can't wait to head out for it again it was really really good craic.

    Ireland is a big place, you would need to be in a major city to guarantee finding somewhere showing the fight.
