    "he looks blown out".

    Floyd is well below weight and comfortable, Conor is sucking down electrolytes and talking nonsense.

    If Floyd goes to burger king tonight he'll probably be about 150 tomorrow night.

    Floyd will be no different. Conor will be 170ish. You are looking at a 20lb difference but it was the same when Floyd fought Canelo.

    Can I ask what your beef is with him? You clearly have some sort of beef with himself and JK.

    If I was a bit stakes gambler I'd lump on floyd but I'm not so hardly worth it, it would ruin it for me putting 1k on it

    I mean it'll be a miracle if conor can pull this off, I think paddy power will do awful well out of this one.

    I don't think he's nervous, but I do think when he's cutting weight he turns into a spanner.

    I don't think conor is confident this time, anyone else get that feeling, not the same air of confidence as in previous mma fights.

    I have no beef with JK at all.

    JK is a fantastic BJJ coach and an Irish MMA legend. I don't have beef with Conor either, he's a very good 155lb MMA fighter.

    He's not a boxer though.

    McGregor for me was exactly like he was for the Aldo weigh-ins..

    Nah, I thought he was way better looking than the Aldo fight. Genuinely looked not far off death on the scales that time. Bit sunken in the eyes and around the face but didn't think he looked completely dried out.

    Why did McGregor bother cutting the extra 2 pounds?

    It's an extra lb, and being able to get down below weight rather than just making wright gives you a little psychological edge.

    Sky Sports have absolutely no idea how to cover MMA. None. They obviously spent so much on the rights to the fight they couldn't give BT a few quid for Conor highlight :pac:

    (I'm aware this is a boxing match btw)

    I am not surprised he was slightly gaunt. He is carrying a lot more muscle now than UFC205. So had to compensate by dehydrating more.

    No, his body was rattled I assume from dehydration

    Floyd looked a bag of nerves when Conor squared up to him

    Isn't Paddy Power a Maltese company now? Judging by their tax status..

    Think he looked the same as he always does in previous weigh ins. He's like that, always tetchy and aggressive. That's his thing.

    Nah, vast majority of people will see it as the PR stunt it is. Nothing to get worked up about

    I think McGregor will weigh around 166.

    Floyd will presumably weigh the same as today.

    I thought Floyd looked forced to be honest.

    McGregor looked like he couldn't wait to get into the ring. He's probably p*ssed off as as he feels he is not taken seriously by the boxing fraternity. For someone as confident as him, that's got to annoy him.
