The funny thing is, if that same exact arena was built the same exact way with the same materials in the US. No way would it pass inspection. No state in the US would allow it to be occupied. It don’t look safe one bit.

This fight should’ve been in Vegas, NYC or Cali. Or even the UK. The atmosphere is gonna be non existent.

So true, anywhere except that shht hole and unsafe part of the world.

The atmosphere is going to be shht.

I here ya. Andy grew up and spent lots of his childhood in Mexicali, Mx, which in the summer gets to around 110 degrees. Plus he’s lives and trains in the imperial valley which is in the heart of the desert.

AJ is ***’d.

Believe it or not, they're used to building things in the Middle East. The World's tallest building is in Dubai and that will be beaten by Saudi in the next couple of years.

Nothing will be Saudi designed. They'll be using UK or US firms. Local engineering standards will be based on international standards.

What temperature do you think it will be?

At fight time, I'd say about 16 degrees Celsius. If you're going, take a jumper.
