    @dick dastardly: enjoy it dude, was chatting a few guys on a plane who were coming back from the Aldo fight back in Dec ’15 and they were just blown away by the whole thing.

    @Sledro: did you know that you can get an official private belt after every defence? best of luck to him (even though his record will more than likely be 2-3 in the last 3 years on Sunday), but carrying around two old belts is fairly cringy, as by the same logic, aldo could carry ten belts to the ring – even alverez could bring 4!

    @Gulliver Foyle: did you know that doing a quick google is not always enough to find the correct answer and, to the best of my knowledge, you are completely incorrect with your belt “logic”?

    You get to the keep the belt, no defense necessary.

    @Zossima: at least it’s going ahead, 1am is a bit late for the ceremonial weigh-ins for me. Catch it in the morning and get ready for the fight tomorrow night.
