Conor McGregor And Dustin Poirier Have Both Officially Made Weight - THE FIGHT IS ON!
LET'S GOOOOOO!!!!
I'll be honest, I wasn't really worried about either of these guys makin weight - they're both absolute professionals in that department and in what I believe is their optimal weight class - but now that the fight is official and there's ZERO obstacles in the way, I'm fucking stoked. How could you not be? Conor McGregor's fighting tomorrow! CONOR FUCKING MCGREGOR'S FIGHTING TOMORROW!!!
Plus, our co-main event was made official as well….
Currently, I'm posted up at Etihad Arena waiting for ceremonial weigh-ins/face offs to begin….
You'll be able to watch those live here (at 10am ET)….
Unfortunately, Matt "The Steamrolla" Frevola (great guy, even better fighter - and big Stoolie) is facing yet ANOTHER bout scrapped late in his UFC career, as Ottman Azaitar didn't even make it to the scales this morning; apparently the UFC is searching for a replacement as we speak. I really hope they find someone for him, because I just can't imagine makin it all the way to Abu Dhabi, preparing mentally/physically for a fight, making weight, and then…..just flying home. 18+ hours.
Fingers crossed! We're rooting for you Matt.
P.S. Stoolies in Michigan! Don't forget that starting at NOON EST you'll be able to legally bet on Conor McGregor to win via KO/TKO at even odds with the Barstool Sportsbook! Normally -177, we boosted that shit up to +100. That is unbelievable value for the carnage I think we'll see in the cage tomorrow. Get on it!
