Rose - Decision

Anyone fancying a few quid on Al? . Just seems like the way this fight week has gone it can only end with somehow Al having his hand raised and the earth collapsing in on itself.

Fight as I called it.

Khabib wins he gets the belt.
Al wins he doesnt get the belt.
5 Round fight and still main event

Yup i am gonna throw a 5er on Al

Lukker-

I think Al is one of the most underrated fighters in LW and it was a shame he was on the shelf for so long.

they cant honestly expect people to accept Khabib as the champion if he only beats Al Iaquinta for the belt. With all due respect to Iaquinta, he's no Mcgregor or Ferguson is he.

I love Mcgregor as much as the next guy but he refuses to defend his belt so you can't really think of him as champ anymore, Ferguson beat Kevin Lee to become champion so that isn't great either. Khabib agreed to fight Ferguson, Pettis, Holloway, Felder and finally Ragin Al at the last minute.

Khabib would have been happy to take that belt off Conor if Conor was willing to get inside the cage with him, its not Khabibs fault Conor wont fight.

Just catching up. Is that a piss take about Al not winning the belt cause he’s .2 over?

Axwell

He weighed in for his fight earlier at 155.2 - NYAC wouldnt let him weigh in a second time. Its unfortunate that had he weighed in at 155 he would have ended up fighting for a title instead.

If Iaquinta wins he's the feckin champ in my eyes.

Would be brilliant if he won, blow the division wide open.

I reckon Al will swing for the fences early and hope for the best. Will Matt Serra be in his corner ?

So if al wins who’s the champ? Still Tony and Conor??

Never thought I'd say this, as I think he's nothing but a snake oil selling prick (albeit a very good one), but I almost feel sorry for Dana at the minute.

I wouldn't - I can understand him being unhappy with McGregor, but that doesn't mean that he has to be mouthing off that McGregor had 30 guys with him (How many was it really? 5?), McGregor might have been on drugs, McGregor is unapologetic, etc.

White has an awful habit of being careless with the truth once there's a camera pointed at him.

Poor misrepresented misunderstood Conor.

If you're dismissing my post as an attempt to defend Conor, then you're jumping to the wrong conclusion. I'm just saying that Dana White has a big mouth, he frequently exaggerates and he's careless with the truth.

Looking at the card like this, it really took a hammering this week!

I renember time Dana could honestly say, if he lost main event any other fight on card could main event instead and he was right

Joanna - Submission

Yeah, the idea of an all nighter has sort of diminished for me. Altho I will be up at a 30th may throw an eye on it ...

I presume IF Conor gets bail he’ll be escorted to the airport and won’t be allowed near the arena?

There are 4 or 5 named people from the bus & the security detail who he is not allowed to contact or go to the place of work of, including Michael Chiesa. I'd bet that will mean he has to steer clear of the arena.
