    Eminem told Dana White his opinion didn’t matter on sport centre. Can’t wait for that fight.

    What a weird interaction.

    I agree with this to a point, every * and their dug moans about how arrogant and overly confident he is but he is box office for a single reason - he attracts eyes/views/attention/buys.

    The good thing is if he does fight Khabib next, which he probably will, this whole new mature ‘I’m a father’ gig is oot the windae.

    He's deffo box office and I caught the hype and wanted to watch his fights..

    As time's gone on though I've realised what an utter * he is..

    Chinning an old guy in the pub for no drinking your product that you're acting a bawbag over..

    Want him to lose and get his jaw spun every fight..

    I watched his film a while back and you can see him become more and more of a * with the more money he pulls in

    I prefer this Conor for this fight.

    He’s fought Dustin before and there’s respect there. Also with the charity stuff, why the * would they be at each other’s throats.

    Really looking forward to it.

    Would absolutely LOVE Dustin to win this, but Mcgregor wins the psychological war with his confidence before the fight has begun most of the time. Match that to the fact he is an absolute elite fighter and there are very few that can beat the guy.

    I thought Cerrone was like a rabbit in the headlights - prime example of someone being overawed. He looked better in other fights since, however you look at the start of that fight and Mcgregor faked a slow left to make him duck and then thrust the side of his hip to hi head. Totally stunned him, which is why he stood like a * wooden board and allowed himself to get hit 4 times in the face by those brilliant shoulder strikes.

    If he wasn't already completely dazed, he would have moved out of that position. I think a lot of folk missed that first blow with the hip and it looked pre-meditated - a bit like a homage to Masvidal-Askren.

    Be very interesting to see what Chandler can bring as well.

    Maybe someone can answer this, why is this not on till 3am UK time when it’s in Abu Dhabi, that would mean the fight takes place at 7am Abu Dhabi time.

    Very random time for a fight to happen.

    Thanks for replies all, that makes more sense that it’s tailored to American audiences.

    Ufc 204 was held in Manchester and the main card started at 3am UK time to suit american audiences. Thankfully that's not happened since I don't think lol.

    The Khabib vs Gaethje fight was on at about 10pm our time which I think is afternoon time in the US. Don’t know the numbers but Mcgregor mentioned the other day it didn’t do that great. They could probably put Mcgregor on anytime of day and they would still do great numbers.
