For those betting against Khabib? BIG mistake.

The fight will end inside the distance by submission.

Joe Rogan talks about the issue of weight cutting on his podcast all the time. He wants much striker rules in place to basically not allow fighters to much cut weight. Instead force them to fight near their natural weight, not sure how you make that happen...

Same day weigh-ins.

That's how it's done at jitz and grappling tourneys, and it needs to spread worldwide. I've weighed in literally 2 min before a match.

You could just do what we did while I wrestled and weigh in the same day as your match/tourney. I think its better this way anyway, your training at the weight you plan to be at fight night or close to it. I think it would be much safer long-term and probably would discourage more fighter to drop weight right before a fight because they don't have as much recovery time.

Exactly......Pretty much summed up my thoughts

Today is the day! Got my 12 pack of Heineken ready. What you guys got planned for the fights tonight?

I was tempted to buy tickets and make a trip to NYC, but couldn't really justify dropping that much cash. Hitting an Irish bar in Boston, should still be a blast. Betting hard on Conor, so hopefully we can all party happy after he knocks out Eddie.

Irish pub in Boston. Sounds like a good time to me. Good luck tonight on your bets
