Hope Diaz and his brother die.

Diaz is going to destroy McGregor and send his ass back to 145.

Also, Dana White says Jones may not have knowingly ingested a banned substance.

hahahaa.....McGregor in 30 seconds of the first round for the win!!

I am rooting for McGregor, it will be 10am Sunday for the prelims and noon here in Australia but luckily the pub up the street is showing it - and it's an Irish pub to boot!

lol wut? McGregor gassed himself out punching Diaz in the face for two rounds. What makes you think a camped, not as slow Diaz is going to drop?

 

[JSt0rm]

that magney larkin fight on fightpass is gonna be good.

 

[BW86]

I'm rooting for McGregor

Hopefully they're streaming it in 4k again. The last card I watched - UFC 200 - looked great.

 

[Miramonti]

Diaz looking much bigger this morning at 170 than typical 155 weigh-in...

UFC 202 Tickets slashed by as much as 41%

Perhaps motivated by wanting to fill up the seats for Saturday's fights in Las Vegas, the UFC slashed prices on tickets for UFC 202 over the last 24 hours.

Some upper-level seats at T-Mobile Arena that originally cost $365 were reduced by 41 percent to $215. The best seats located right by the Octagon cost $9,995 earlier this week. By Friday morning, the face value on those seats were cut by 20 percent to $7,995.

Diaz rematch a must-win for McGregor, UFC

A second consecutive loss to Nate Diaz at UFC 202 on Saturday would be a blow to Conor McGregor's star power -- and to the health of the UFC.

Other premium seats that cost $2,950 were reduced to as low as $1,850.

 

[smackababy]

The hype around McGregor is dying down. He really needs to win. Even if he comes back to 145 and dominates, he won't be nearly as big. 202 won't outsell 100.

 

[WaTaGuMp]

I think Conor is a much smarter fighter and will adjust over the loss. It possibly could be a boring fight, people that have beaten Diaz before generally are staying outside and just picking him apart with kicks and using a lot of movement.

 

[JSt0rm]

conor will be fixated on knocking nate out.

Well he does like a challenge, but that might be a dumb move, we shall see.

This whole thing is dumb. Nobody rematches like this. Its gonna be fun to watch though

 

[JSt0rm]

supposedly conor spent 300k on his training camp. Thats gotta do something. This is one of those fights where I will be happy whatever the outcome.

 

[brainhulk]

i think Diaz wins by submission again. Diaz got tagged plenty last fight. I don't see that happening again with a full camp.

 

[JSt0rm]

Conor will need to bring some new tools to the fight. And he just may do that. Nate is absolutely a beast and I think mentally he is in great shape. I feel conor is getting too emotional.

 

[QueBert]

Conor's a dumb fuck, he's always talked shit. But this time around he should have shut up, or at least thought about what he was saying. He said the only reason he lost the last fight was he gassed himself out punching Nate in the face so many times. UMMM WHUT? lol. He lost, and badly at that. I suspect he'll try too hard + Nate having a full camp and knowing he already handled his ass will mean another L for that fuck.

 

[WaTaGuMp]

Conor still favored in the betting lines.

Light Heavyweight Anthony Johnson vs. Glover Teixeira

Interesting fight.

Not to mention the Diaz brothers are well known to take punches.

 

[UncleWai]

Rumble first round via knocking glover into bolivia, easy money.

I hate Connor McBoatface, but if he just spams oblique kicks at Nate, he can get a boring ass decision win.

Magny was one tough sob overcoming Lombard's first round barrage, hopefully after winning this fight he can get closer to be the contender.
