    I'm hoping alvarez pulls it off, he's definitely got the skill set to. Good wrestling, pretty good hands and he can take a shot like no other. If Connor can't stuff his takedowns it might be a long night for him.

    I'm pumped. I'm a huge fan of Connor. He's meticulous, methodical, and studies well. But he runs out of gas too soon. It'll be a good match.

    Thoughts on the rest of the card?

    Go Irish!! Our boy is a hot head, but he has nothing to lose, and everything to gain.

    Alvarez always fights smart with obvious strategy, only that he is lukewarm to watch. He lacks fire, no pasiones. Overthinking it and oft times visibly tired, throwing wild wide punches. Leaves himself too open .... Dangerous flaw against Conor's reach and combinations when he chooses to be "on" .... Conor is a fiery Irish Comet circling his prey ....BbbboooooMmmm!

    ETA: Only wished that Conor uses his mixed martial arts more as his initial defense response vs tolerating his opponents volleying of punches.

    @terpdad I'm pretty stoked about Woodley vs Wonderboy. I think that's gonna be one of the best matches of the night. I always like watching Tate too.

    I think it's impressive that Conner has been in the 170, 155, and 145 weight class, even though people give him crap that it's not fair. Plenty of fighters do it so I don't see the issue. I'll be very impressed if he comes out with 2 titles. He's definitely cocky enough and the fan favorite.

    it's not so much it not being fair that he fights at different weight classes, most people's issue (also mine) is that he won his featherweight belt quite some time ago and has yet to ever defend it, and no other fighter would probably never be allowed to do that.

    @Woodley VS Thompson, both are excellent strikers, so am waiting on one to knockout the other. Cannot wait!

    I hope Wonderboy starches Woodley, all hail the karate kid.

    That wonderboy fight left a bad taste in my mouth. And now that Connor has two belts i hope they actually make him defend one, that's all i want as a fan.

    i thought wonderboy won 3 rds to 2 but it was really close. I just hated when they had the scorecards confused and then it ended up being a draw, they've definitely gotta do a rematch though, that fight was way better than I thought it was gonna be.

    for me the most under rated performance on that card was Khabib, he absolutely destroyed michael johnson. I wasn't too high on Khabib before but that dude is terrifying with his grappling. wouldnt mind seeing him get a shot against Connor, he has some super hero type strength.

    I think Conor needs to defend that FW belt first...
