Nice post. I like when you (and others) speak sense and reason as opposed to condescension and dismissiveness.

But given what we might loosely call the pre-fight "banter" from the fighters on such occasions, "sense and reason" is hardly entering into the spirit, is it?

Mike Jackson got the whole fight on video. Started with the conor fan slapping a girl in the head to which her fella then layed the smack down with the 2 girls fighting as well.

I might go have a nap now. Got up at all hours to watch the F1 quali live then cycled me hole off to tire myself out. Can't wait for the card to start. We're almost two years waiting for this

I've it times well here. I won't be having the dinner until around 10.30, have snacks stocked up for later and will be having a nap before dinner.

I've a stir fry ready to go, cans of coke in the fridge (rare treat for me these days, I hate bring a former fatty sometimes) and a nice bottle of whiskey to have a glass or two when the main card starts - not proper 12 :pac:

Should be ok. Maybe a bit earlier just in case. Can't legislate for fast KOs in earlier fights.

Fast KO's will just lead to more filler and video. Cant imagine Tonys fight possibly starting before 4 if they want to keep to the PPV schedule.

Gotsta keep the sponsors happy and make sure they get their airtime for their adverts.

Hopefully the other half doesn't decapitate you when the alarm goes off at 3 :P

They also have to commit to the ppv timeslot. Thats why they play fights from the prelims when other fights end earlier than scheduled. 4am would be 2 hours before the end of the ppv with only 2 fights left. Even allowing an hour for Conor vs Khabib thats very early starting so cant see it at 4am but better safe than sorry in any case.

Pintman Paddy Losty

My prediction is Khabib to force a submission from mcgregor in the second. Will be very embarrassing for conor.
