    @Severard Yeah thanks for that. I already have setanta/BT on my sky box but may not be at home when the fight starts and thats why I'm wondering about sky go. I might just call them altogether.

    Thanks anyway

    **edit** thanks 0ph0rce0

    So conors allegations of aldo and his drug taking.

    Is there any truth to it?

    He was even going on about it on Tuesday.

    McGregor always looks like this at the weigh in.

    Cant believe this post got so many thanks. 100% not true. Go back and watch the brimmage Holloway and Brandao weigh ins and come back to me.

    No you have to pay an extra 60 euro for the main card. The prelims are free though.

    still has the same caved in forehead and the cheeks seem a bit fuller but his mouth is open in the second two pics which would make a difference to how it looks, he might look slightly different weigh in to weigh in but hes always had a hard cut to 145, each time hes looked like a junkie, and it has yet to affect his performance

    He is bigger now and he also weighed in at 146 against them. 1 lb may not seem like a lot but it's a full pint of water, which can make a slight difference.

    He looked worse vs Mendes and Siver, I'm honestly baffled as to why people are trying to make out that he looks worse. This reaction happens at every single one of his fights. Go back to past threads, people are always arguing "this is the worst he's ever looked."

    Says sub 4% then sub average 0 at the end.

    What does that mean?

    He looks the same at his first weigh in against brimmage as last night? Are you for real?

    When has he not at weigh-ins?

    Have you seen his weigh-ins before? He looked marginally better at this one.

    What's the point in comparing it to the Brimmage fight? He looked worse against Mendes and Siver and I think he did OK in those fights.

    You're being a pedant if you're taking issue with the phrasing of people pointing out that he didn't look worse than usual yesterday.

    I'm not disagreeing that he looked terrible. His eyes looked even more sunken against Siver. Have you actually watched it? I seriously doubt it given how shocked you are at his appearance.

    Well, I think the comparatively subdued crowd said it all. I watched the weigh in for Chad and it was completely diff.

    I'll admit, I'm no expert so the weakness will be gone by tonight?

    I think you're reading too much into the crowd reaction. He'll be significantly stronger tonight, he'll have gained about 20lbs. He's always a much healthier sight in the octagon, as expected.

    I do think he needs to move up after this though, win or lose. That is a brutal cut he is putting his body through, probably one of the worst cuts of anyone on the roster.

    Sub 4% means that percentage of his career wins came by submission.

    Sub average percentage means the average number of submission attempts in a fight with the average being out to 15 minutes.(as oppose to 25 mins for title fights)

    If you set it for 5 you're going to miss some amazing fights! If you're going to get up early for any main card then this is the main card to do it! If you just want to watch McGregor and nothing else then 5 is about right maybe 4.30 to be safe.
