Where We Were Today

With the Conor McGregor fight almost upon us, Paul Dollery’s Vegas adventure continues.

On The Record

“Each opponent has apparently been the guy who’s going to expose certain things. What I would say is that I think Chad Mendes could draw the best out of Conor tomorrow night, so I’m going to repeat myself and echo what I’ve said before: Conor is looking better than ever and I really think there’s going to be a lot of shocked people — not just in relation to the result, but how the result comes about.”

In his exclusive column for The42, John Kavanagh gives his predictions ahead of the weekend’s big fight.
