Jul 10, 2015 Sucks I have a family reunion in Connecticut this weekend. I'll be devastated if I somehow hear the result and it's a Conor loss.
Jul 10, 2015 Dana said and it's a big big IF but if Conor wins tomorrow he fights Aldo in Vegas and if he wins his 1st defense is in Croke Park I'm heading there Sunday for an Irish football Gaelic match but if it's for mma it will have 90,000 fans, would be crazy Conor would fill it even if he lost I say
Jul 10, 2015 Weigh in at the top of the hour. Probably get more views/ppl in attendance then Mini Mendes' last fight.
Jul 10, 2015 one of my favorite moments from the press conference yesterday was when Conor said Chad's gate against Lamas and said that is less than his show money and the 7.1 M gate is all him.
Jul 10, 2015 Where were these comments? Someone mentioned a press conference. I didn't see it, I want to see Money Mendes get burned lol. EDIT: Also how many are seated at the fight? I know it's basically the biggest event in UFC history. But makes me wonder about GSP Vs. Shields as that was 55000 in Toronto was it not?
Jul 10, 2015 Presser Not really the biggest fight ever, might be the biggest gate they've done in Vegas at 7.1 mill but that's about it. As far as seats it's around 17k.
Jul 10, 2015 I feel stupid asking. But what does gate mean? They always say that but never unsure of what it meant?
Jul 10, 2015 Ticket sale revenue this card did $7.1 million dollars. Mayweather/Pacquiao did 72 mill in comparison.
Jul 11, 2015 Have any of the pro's picked Conor? Everyone I've seen asked so far are all favouring mendes
Jul 11, 2015 dunno about pro fighters but I know there's lots of media picking Conor http://mmajunkie.com/2015/07/ufc-18...ant-agree-on-mcgregor-mendes-lawler-macdonald
Jul 11, 2015 A lot of pros seem to really be leaning on the ground advantage mendes has. I hope conor's ground game gets tested and he shows he can hold his own. Then again I don't want another jones vs dc grind for the whole 5 rounds
Jul 11, 2015 Yeah that's the one I seen with everyone picking mendes Everyone talking about how Conor will handle wrestling but no one saying how will chad deal with a rangey southpaw who use's distance extremely well I hope Conor's ground game is tested aswell and he shocks everyone
Jul 11, 2015 Yeah hopefully this fight is more exciting than Jones/DC. Even though Aldo had to pull out, I know a lot of people that don't usually watch MMA that are still watching this fight because McGregor did such as good job promoting it
Jul 11, 2015 Haha Uriah Faber playing all "Whoa man what the h---" then turns and gives a sly smile like Michael Jackson in Thriller lol.
