Here's an insane sentence:

The Featherweight champion will try to beat a top 5 Lightweight fighter, in his Welterweight debut.

Conor McGregor opens as a strong but not overwhelming favorite, at -280. Diaz is +220

New World Order 02-24-2016 12:21 AM

Darn.

Diaz isn't even a contender.

Awesome fan-made promo. (NSFW audio)

Yeah. I was interested in his walking around weight. As mentioned though, Diaz isn't a big WW. It shouldn't be a huge factor.

He looks like death when he cuts to FW, so I assume he walks around at least close to 165-170. I assume Diaz walks at 175+

Press conference today at 3pm central. Should be awesome, I'm gonna watch the replay when I get home.

He was walking around at 185 the other day according to Dave Meltzer.

Well, this could be fun.

Jerm 02-24-2016 06:41 PM

Well this press conference sure didn't disappoint lol....

alnorth 02-24-2016 08:26 PM

Just watched the press conference, it went about as well as expected. The staredown was awesome, they had a TON of security there. One guy was near Conor, but they had two enormous men standing right next to Diaz, tense and ready to grab him.

Jerm 02-26-2016 09:56 AM

If Conor wins next weekend...what if after the fight he called out GSP for UFC 200...?

Talk about a big $$$ fight.

That won't happen. He's probably gonna fight RDA or possibly Lawler if they are insane. Maybe Aldo as an injury backup if RDA is hurt with enough time to cut to FW.

GSP doesn't want to fight. He hasn't announced his retirement yet, but I've read a couple interviews and I think he's done.

His strength was always his superior athleticism. After a couple of knee surgeries have been in his mid thirties I prefer to not see him in the Octagon again.

Jerm 02-26-2016 11:58 AM

GSP is gonna fight again, no doubt in my mind...I think that's the big hook for UFC 200.

I don't see Conor fighting RDA honestly, if you heard him at the PC it sounded like he has moved on from that fight.

To be honest, I don't see him fighting at 145 or even 55 again if all goes smooth next weekend...dude has been killing himself to get to 145 and to a degree 155 as well. Why cut all the weight and do that to yourself when you can fight at 170, cut little weight, and feel great?

I could very well see him calling out Robbie next...not saying he would call out GSP or should, I easily envision that though.
