The fighters are weighed in and everyone's set to go for one of the bigger Fight Nights in some time.

I'm attending this one live, so Greg's taking over in the FightCenter.

I think he crossed the "full of himself" line long ago. He just decided that some all knowing, all powerful mystical being has nothing better to do than to take interest in his fighting career.

Conor's fanboys are always talking about the Conor haters, but they fail to see their own hate the second anyone says Conor is not as wonderful as they see him.

I never said he is not good, I just think he has been pampered and overhyped. I don't hate him I just think he is an obnoxious ******

Untalented/uncharismatic people usually feel that way about people who are, just saying.

They hate us cuz they ain't us.

Haters gonna hate, and ainters gonna ain't.

No reason to hate someone because they're way smarter, successful, funnier, and better looking than you are.

@Zarog: Good breakdown of the former title challengers. Mendes beat a bunch of cans, with the exception of Clay Guida, who looks like a can at 145. 

McGregor probably has the best 145 resume of any challenger. 

As for Bendo, completely agree. I rewatched the fight today and still think Cerrone edged him, but it was a Bendo decision.

McGregor did not finish him within the first 2 minutes, he isn't the predictor he thought he was. Jose just smiling at him was awesome.

If Conor beats Aldo I nominate the McGregor belt to follow the Iceman belt.

The post-Iceman belt is already scheduled.

But anything after that is possible.  Likely that only retired fighters will get their own belt.

oh right. He has peaked though. I mean, the best days of Anderson Silva are in the books.
