Probably the biggest UFC fight in history.  It was the largest weigh in ever.  I've been like a little kid waiting on Christmas for this fight.

If Conor wins, then he's officially the biggest UFC star ever.  If he loses, then his whole house of cards comes crumbling down.  I like both these guys, so either way, it will be awesome.

This is in the Featherweight Division, 145lbs, for the belt.

Here is Mendes' last fight with #4 Ricard Lamas.  He's a cyborg-like wrestler with a devastating over-hand.

Here's McGregors' fight before last.  He's just a big, strong 145lbs with deadly, precise hands:

The x-factors for this fight are McGregor hasn't faced a wrestler, or fighter, at Mendes' level, so the question is can he withstand Mendes' takedowns.  Mendes also took this fight on 14 days notice, since Jose Aldo, the current champion, dropped out, so is that enough time for him to get ready?

This fight is stacked, including the Welterweight fight between Rory McDonald and Robbie Lawler, which just got drowned out by the McGregor/Aldo (and now Mendes) hype.
