UFC 205 - New York

Re: UFC 205 - New York

Just finished watching Conor & Eddie square off at the presser, Conor is massive man. If you didn't know better you would think Eddie was the FW champ and Conor was the LW champ.

How on Earth does Conor make 145?

I had Alvarez winning but the size difference is making me less confident in my pick.

Were we watching the same presser? I mean he is coming from 170 so he is the heavier guy but he doesn't look that much bigger tbh. He's a bit taller than Eddie but actual size difference isn't that much. You make it sound like Conor looked like Brock Lesnar next to Eddie or something lol. That shouldn't make you less confident in your choice though. Eddie may be a bit more challenging to Conor than ppl think cuz he has that grinding style. If he can use it effectively it's gonna be interesting. If he can't though then Conor will most likely win cuz Eddie isn't particually skilled on the feet. He does have heavy hands though.

Neither is Aldo though. I went to a press conference a few years ago where Aldo damn near fainted because of the weight cut.

Conor is just hedging his bets. If he beats Eddie, he will walk around as a two time champ for a month and then the UFC will strip him of his FW belt. If he loses, he gets to keep his FW belt and he takes a rematch with Aldo.

I could believe that. I've always said Aldo looked big for FW.

This. Eddie is going to test Conor's gas tank and the Diaz fights showed it can be a little suspect.

Re: UFC 205 - New York

I watched that press conference three times last night, that was awesome. I love a good crowd. This card is gonna be awesome.

I think Eddie is a SUPER tough fight for Conor. A wrestler with an iron chin who has a gas tank on him.

Also, for what its worth, Conor weighed in at 168 vs Nate.

Re: UFC 205 - New York

Right now my honest prediction is that Conor is going to take a beating and go back down to 145. He can afford to hire Dolce full-time, year around, with the money he has now and I think he will find ways to make that cut manageable. I don't think the cut to 145, for Conor's size/frame, should be THAT drastic

Exactly. If he can use that grinding style effectively by doing things like smothering Conor against the cage, taking him down, laying and praying, ect, it's gonna be an interesting fight and I feel much more challenging for Mcgregor than many think...especially in the later rounds cuz unlike Mendes in that fight, Eddie will actually have a gas tank. But If Conor is able to shut those things down, Conor will more than likely beat him on the feet unless he manages to catch Conor with something.

Re: UFC 205 - New York

Guess who's going to MSG? What sucks is I paid more for these tickets than I have any other UFC event I've been to (including McGregor/Aldo and GSP/Shields). I'm tempted to just put these tickets on Stubhub and see if I can make a hefty profit.

Man if you don't stop bragging and go, lol

400 level tickets going for 869 on StubHub. That's a nice Christmas.

Mine are going for 1200. I don't believe it though. Just because they are on the market for a certain price doesn't mean they will sell for that.

Prices will probably drop closer to the fight.

Awesome card!

Re: UFC 205 - New York

Is it really true that Eddie walks around at 180 pounds? I feel like I am being trolled or something.

I feel like it could be true considering we heard Conor walks around at 170-175.
