Best guesses as to start time of Aldo/McGregor?

Ty in advance.

That is tomorrow night and I would guess they get in the ring around midnight EST.

The Artem Lobov vs. Ryan Hall fight sooooo bad. Lobov literally had the worst performance I've ever seen in MMA. I think he threw a total of 19 strikes through 3 rounds, and Hall had 150+.

Looks like Edgar earned himself a title shot if Aldo wins or McGregor stays at 145 for 1 more fight

Hall had a couple of really good transitions in the 1st and zapped a lot of Atrem's strength with that body triangle and RNC attempt.

Edgar vs Mendes fight raises a bunch of questions for me. Is Mendes washed up? Did Conor break him mentally a couple months ago? Was it just variance?

The first real exchange and Mendes goes limp from 2 punches, I just can't believe it. I'm wondering how he went 5 rounds with Aldo in the first place. Maybe this says something about Aldo?

Edgar is probably the best fighter in the division

Really?

Aldo/Edgar wasn't really close though. He took him down a few times but Aldo clearly got the best of the standup.

Gotta think UFC is pulling hard for Connor tonight so they could try and do Edgar/Connor.

I shouldn't say wasn't close, but the result was never all that much in doubt from what I recall.

McGregor with his wrestling deficiency would be a much better fight for Edgar, if he were to stay at 145. Would make him a lot more $ too, I would think.

How much is the PPV tonight? Conor losing will be huge upset mainly because of his trash talking. I'm rooting for him but if he loses he's gonna look like a fool.

Edgar fought Aldo almost 3 years ago, not sure if Aldo is the same fighter he was then, Edgar looked pretty damn good still.

I thought Aldo won the first fight but Edgar was coming on strong after rd 2 or 3 and if the there were 1-2 more rounds Edgar could have had a solid win.

I think McGregor wins then moves up.

I think it's even if they both stand up, but the smart thing would be to take McGregor to the ground. We saw how ineffective he was against takedowns/guarding passes. Also McGregor actually slips a lot on his fancy kicks and whatnot. I think Dennis Siver even took him down after he caught a kick a few fights back.

Even though I'm a McGregor fan, I think Aldo wins this on the ground, however it gets there. Put some money on Aldo +140 last week because I thought the odds were too good. So hyyyyype for thissssss.

Kinda have hopes up that this could deliver on hype but Conor probably just destroys him and I regret paying for it. Just gonna stream it I guess

Is there a reason Dana white shows up for every weigh in dressed up like a high schooler?

Getting the support of @DanaWhite of UFC means a lot. A total winner, who has done an amazing job. Just ordered his fight to watch tonight!

sorry if this has been asked not going to read 500 pages of thread. Can someone post or pm me Links for good quality streams of the fights tonight? Don't need HD obviously but something watchable that isn't freezing/buffering constantly will do. thanks. preferably one that doesn't require signing up!

I would take a suggestion to a good quality stream. It seems like they work until the fights I actually care about and I end up ordering it. I usually stream it on ufc.tv via a proxy to get it for $20...

I'm actually going to order this joint since it's gonna be so epic!

Mcgregor and Rockhold seems like a nice parlay.

Franky Edgar beat Aldo and was robbed on the cards imo, and Weidman is like a Matt Hughes outdated type of fighter who seems overhyped as the Silva situation was a combination of Silva being a clown and old. Rockhold is legit and solid in any situation.
