I am a fat, out of shape loser, so I admit it sounds pretty corny of me to say stuff like this, but I always wondered if Conor could just maybe make some lifestyle/diet changes to make the 145 cut much more healthy and realistic. I feel like he really isn't THAT big of a dude, body wise/frame wise.

Again, I am not expert. My diet is Burger King and Taco Bell, so who knows. As far as 145 vs 155, yeah it is a tough call. If he loses on Saturday do you throw him a top 155er, and if he loses that (for a third straight loss) what then?

I'm fairly in shape but disabled, it's crazy hard to change body type, but I'm 6'1 with 80" reach and 170. Crazy hard to change body type for me.

When I was in great shape taking allowed peds in military (before they were banned) it would have been easy to cut to 170 and weigh in next day at 190. If crazy supplements are allowed it would have been easy to change weight from 170ish to 205 in a month or so.


With my body type is I get much less than 170 even when I lifted I lost a lot of strength.

I'm no pro athlete, but when deployed I was on a crazy amount of supplements, had free endless food, and was at gym probably 3 hours a day, not including 1.5 hours of PT in morning.
Long story short if Conor reduces body size a decent amount of power will leave, imho.


Keep in mind I didn't have pro coaches, just muscle heads coaching me.

Anyone watch the press conference? Hilarious, Conor looked punked out. Lucky Nick didn't beat him down, lol.

Nate wins this conference.

I guess i was late to the party, but i just saw the press conference and it looked kinda staged but then real. I don't know what to make of it. Probably just trying to sell ppv buys.

Conor showed up 30 minutes late, Nate left after Conor got there

Flying water bottles. lol

Honestly I'm not to pumped for this fight, sure it's a cool fight but once was enough for me.

Side Note: I'm still gunna order the fight.

[Dave_S]

It's better than a shoe, lol. Build up to this fight was almost non-existent, now there is buzz, but not nearly like first fight.

I'll be watching

You can't have Conor throwing cans at crowds like that. Isn't he just doing what he has always done? You really think Conor is going to let Nate do to him what Conor did to Jose? Conor is just barking back. He has always barked back. People act like it wasn't Nate making the first move.

Vegas UFC fights typically dont sell out if they arent holiday weekend fights. I went to Conor/Aldo and there were a few (very expensive) seats available the day of.
