    Well, this is pretty much the best card they've ever attempted.

    Where do they even put Michael Johnson and Khabib? As the main event of the prelims? They're definitely not booting Weidman off of the main card and I can't imagine they kick Cowboy down...What a fucking card!

    Conor is the best hype man in MMA history. He can trigger any fighter in any class. According to Conor, after this fight he'll be approaching $40 million on the year. What a great year for him.

    I really don't think Eddie will pose much of a threat to Conor unless he lands a lucky shot. He's a smaller man with a shorter reach. I think Conor will pick him apart.

    Sounds like it will be the second last fight of the prelims leading into Edgar/Heathen

    Alvarez is denser and stronger than McGregor but so was Siver...

    This is definitely Khabib's biggest test since RDA. Finally nice to see him fighting some legit top 10 talent.

    I dont blame Aldo for being upset, but come on.

    Fans have been hard to deal with since all this came out. So many conor haters and Aldo haters.

    Aldo came off way too bratty for me. I understand his frustrations; but he lost me as a fan. Now, I'm not going to sit here and shit on the guy. He's one of the greatest fighters off all time and had an impressive run. His run came to an end because he ran into a more technical, slicker, quicker, and more powerful fighter. I don't see a rematch going any other way.

    Now, if he wants to go out and get a win over Max Holloway or Anthony Pettis, then IMO, he has every right for his rematch and if Conor doesn't want to fight him; he needs to vacate. I don't see why Aldo is so resistant to fighting Pettis...that will be one hell of a fight and one that Aldo should win.

    People are surprised Stevens is as big as Woodley (he isn't, T-Wood walks around 30-lbs heavier).

    However he does look like a skinny Jonah Hill.

    That bears looks fucking atrocious on him. He actually looks worse than Roy Nelson.

    Cowboy talking more shit on Conor. Who wins that fight?

    Conor picks his body apart I think.

    Tickets are on sale on the secondary market for up to $48,000.

    Some fighters on the card will earn half that.

    MMA math says Conor > Nate > Cowboy

    At welterweight, though? Tough, tough fight for both.

    DFW: Conor will announce something "out of left field" after the fight with Alvarez

    Conor retiring?

    Six-fight main card confirmed. Potentially long night.

    Alves/Miller relegated to Fight Pass.

    Does anyone else feel like Eddie is really under rating Conor's striking ability and his skills of keeping distance? Eddie is very chinny...Conor will land some shots at some point.
