Surprisingly it's Aldo v Holloway 2. I think Dillashaw v Garbrandt would have been a bigger draw. I thought Aldo was finished, must have mistaken him for McGregor.
Think he really struggles since the IV ban and of course being Brazilian you have to wonder whether there was anything else floating around inside him in the past. It is weird that being the size he is, not that old that he struggles so badly. Then again he has been fighting for a long time and coming from a chute box background that undoubtedly puts miles on the clock. Could just be a combination of all of the above tbh.
Not strictly true. Dana White refused to answer when he was asked whether he was being stripped of the title. If he was then surely he'd have just said yes he is.
Saw something on twitter that it's now over 750 days since McGregor won his first UFC title, and he's never defended any of them.
He said Conor can't hold up the division, the fight is for the real lightweight title. If he hasn't been stripped then what has happened? I think you're reading too much into Dana trying to prevent the press conference being about Conor when he had already answered the question at the start of the press conference.
Good card with Edgar v Holloway and Joanna v Rose (I won't try the surnames for that one!)
I only caught a bit of the press conference but basically sounded to me like Conor is stripped of the title (and rightly so), and will have a chance to fight for it if/when he returns.
I'm so hyped for Tony Vs Khabib. Khabib is an absolute monster, but Tony is also one awkward fucker. It's such an interesting match up.
Had never been past the 2nd round and i think his last 4 fights he knocked the guy out inside 2 minutes. But when his 'KO my opponent early' game plan didn't work, he had absolutely nothing else.

UFC 3 (computer game) was revealed today, front cover Conor with 2 belts, Jesus wept.
Namajunas was very strange at the weigh in. She was just reciting the lords prayer to Joanna who was probably threatening to take her soul!
GSP is back!
GSP won tonight but gassed out pretty hard after the first round. Can't see him beating any of the contenders that are lined up at middleweight.

Big Frank is one scary guy though, thought the Reem was dead.
Francis Ngannou has insane power!

Khabib, Max and Joanna for me.

The guy has fought 3 times since April 2014.
Rousey will be great in WWE. Dream match v Asuka at WM 35.
