    Great to see Conor hungry again, reminded me of the weigh in for brandao.

    He seems overly emotional.

    It's makes financial sense for Diaz if he was to lose this fight.
    What does he care more about...money or a dent in pride?(only a dent as it's all square)
    It will be 1 - 1 with a final fight between the two.

    Ariel reckons Forrest Griffin was on the stage?

    The amount of armchair sports psychologists during the weigh ins is ridiculous.

    is he going to take a dive or simply let Conor tee off on him?

    All strategies could go out the window with this one.
    These 2 could go toe to toe.

    Can't wait.

    It's still all up in the air for me. One minute I think Diaz is living in Conor's head, the next I see the hungriest and most determined McGregor I've ever seen.

    An awful lot is going to be revealed in the first 60 seconds after that bell rings tomorrow night. Cannot. Wait.

    Went off without bother anyway.

    Avila tripping on the steps got a nice cheer :P

    When I seen Conor grab the bottle of water as soon as Diaz was introduced I thought he was going bounce it off him :P He sure looked pumped. Nate looked determined but something about him seems nervy.

    It's every time with Mcgregor.

    "he looks rattled" "sounds too emotional" "he looks too skinny" "he flinched"

    :o

    It's good to see McGregor with the bit between his teeth. Hopefully he destroys Nates right leg and rib cage in rnd 1 and 2, then on to the face in round 3 for the ko.

    I've seen most of his ufc weigh ins, he just seemed really on edge. He's under more pressure now than ever in his career, it's obviously going to show.

    Trade for few rounds then take a dive...

    It's worth a lot more if he loses ?
    Ye saying there's no chance he could be thinking that?

    Small flinch from conor but more a counter flinch making nate jump back a bit. Counter flinch multiply by pie multiple by death threats = Conor winning by KO in the 3rd.

    If Conor wins tomorrow night, they should leave as is. A rubber match is something I have no interest in. Hell, I barely got excited for this rematch up until that weigh in there.

    Let Nate challenge Alvarez for the belt if he wins tomorrow night. Actually, even if he loses, let him fight for that belt.

    Yeah, I've accepted he's 90% chance of losing so I'm just looking forward to the fight and if he wins, it'll be a nice surprise.

    If he does win, the rubber match shouldn't take place until one of them has the lw belt and then offers the other 1st shot.

    You see the new owner, guy in the white pants, dolla signs in his eyes the whole time.
