I'm not sold on McGregor just yet because I wanna see how he deals with a grappler, that said tho. .. He's gonna be fun to have around, he appeals to me as a pro wrestling fan mma needed a little fukkery and characters who can add that extra lil bit to some of these cards. Eddie Alvarez had that "I'm just happy to be here" vibe. That's not good



Fun night of fights overall
this, when the Alvarez/cerrone fight was announced the excitement was through the roof and that fight became the most anticipated by way of losing Cormier/Jones. Then during the media appearances it's apparent Alvarez is shellshocked by the whole occasion and is clearly just stoked to be part of the program. I was amazed during the weigh-ins how silent the fans were when he approached the scale as oppose to the rowdiness for Poirier/McGregor just moments before

Although Dustin does tend to get hit hard, he's still a tough/durable and solid fighter. This a top notch win for McGregor.
agreed, but one of the slept on things about Connor is the fact that he is essentially a big 155lber fighting at 145 meaning that I feel if he connects with anyone outside of Mendes or Aldo, I think he stops them.

Conor looked to be the same size as Dustin.
