And McGregor fighting 25 pounds above his normal fighting weight is a ballsy move no two ways about it ufc making exciting fights

The other guy didnt even train. He had a weeks notice lol.

750ml sure adds a lot of weight. but what does proper hydration have to do with anything for boxer's with intense training standards and almost 40 years of age

Mayweather must have been draining himself to make weight?

So **** what boxer would take a fight 25 pounds above their weight class against a decent operator on short notice ?

He was fighting a 155 fighter at 170 because the 155 fighter didn't have time to train and cut weight. He got beat by an unprepared fighter.

Why does Rousey even deserve a title shot?

Maybe Rousey vs Holm for a shot at Tate? Although I really think Rousey should take a tune up first. Don't think Dana or Rousey will go for that though.

He beat one of the longest standing champions in the UFC. He beat 5 or 6 guys in route to that fight & this is 5 or 6 increasingly better guys not like 5 or 6 random bums & fringe contenders like you can do in boxing pre-title shot. He wasn't crowned too early. Sometimes guys just lose in a competitive sport. It don't gotta be that serious.

Again I'm Big fan of McGregor even before he started getting the media attention. McGregor will move back down and he will be fine! That being said I do think the media can take building up certain athletes too far and while I'm not saying McGregor was "overhyped" but the media do tend to jump on the bandwagon of certain fighters and yes the media do tend to overhype certain guys when they're doing well and making headlines

He wasn't out of shape.

He didn't get a full camp, but he had been training for a triathlon. His best assets are stamina, chin and submissions...those were in place, he just didn't have to cut down the extra weight.

White basically confirmed Tate vs Rousey is next at the press conference.

Diaz wasn't the best not even close he'd lost 3 of his last 5 fights before facing McGregor. McGregor thought he'd be fighting an out of shape fighter and would pick up an easy win.
