Did you ever have a crack off it yourself mate?
The hype machine around McGregor is something to behold.
Sonnen is a fair comparison and he did very well for himself and nearly even beat Silva but in the end his mouth pushed him into situations that his limited talent couldnāt cope with and he lost 4 times relatively quickly to better fighters.
His mouth was writing cheques his body couldnāt cash.
UFC is sick gay shit.

Stay out of the thread so, pal, and everyone is a winner.
Aldo on McGregor - As of my opponent, who told me to step up and fight like a man, I canāt say anything about a man that imitates a TV series character (Travis Fimmel, from Vikings). Thatās really who he wanted to be, because heās probably ashamed of being who he really is, so he imitates his lines, his style and this actorās tattoos. Heās an artist, but not from martial arts, but cheap comedy. Itās disrespectful with the actor, and with real athletes. He should look for a stage and not an Octagon. The Octagon is my kingdom and thereās place for only one king, which is me. If he wants to participate, he can be the joker he already is.
If he beats Chad Mendes, the only thing he will have is a toy belt to show his drunk friends in his countryās bars, because thatās what an interim belt represents to me: a toy. I am the champion.
That Travis Fimmel reference is bizarre. Conor has him well rattled.
Heās fucked him red raw at this stage.
Many people told me to fight anyway because of the money I could make, but I wouldnāt sell myself for any money, no matter how much. I fight for love and I do it for my country. Money comes in second place, itās like a shadow: when you try catching it, you canāt, but when you move forward, it follows you. Money ends some day, but legacy and things you do becomes part of the history, and thatās what I value the most. - Jose Aldo
Would carry a bit more weight if you didnāt live in a bin mate.
Agree
McGregor looks like he could do with a mars bar
Has to lose 27lbs before the fight I read today. That canāt be right surely. Nearly 2 stone off his frame
They dehydrate severely for weigh in and use IVs to rehydrate
Still though, 2 stone from someone that lean? Sounds like bullshit.
2 stone of water off his frame? In 9 or 10 daysā¦

Tim Ferris reckons he did 30lbs in 20 hours once
In what time frame? Itās not unheard of for boxers to drop 20lbs to make weight, but itās done over six weeks or more. I heard something about McGregor doing it in 8-10 days. Surely that canāt be right.
Ferris describes losing 30lbs in 24 hours here
