CONOR McGREGOR’S COACH John Kavanagh revealed to The42 earlier this week that the weigh-ins for UFC 189 in Las Vegas will be the biggest in the history of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
Kavanagh said that a crowd of 10,000 is expected, with the UFC opting to open up the entire MGM Grand Garden Arena to fans who want to see Conor McGregor and Chad Mendes weighing in tomorrow ahead of Saturday’s interim UFC featherweight title bout.
That’s something McGregor is clearly very excited about, as evidenced by the latest episode of the UFC 189 Embedded series, which shows the Dubliner checking out the arena in which he’ll aim to clinch a UFC belt in two days’ time.
“My weigh-ins generate more gate than the rest of them,” McGregor says. “Who done that? Who has the weigh-ins like that? Me!”
Devastating for the young lad. Hope he can recover okay.
