It's no coincidence that I got a bit teary-eyed seeing both of their raw emotions. The UFC championship means absolute metric ton to both of these great fighters. They'll easily be crowd favourites for the foreseeable future.

Very classy by Figueiredo, hope he gets the rematch
Can't wait. Fight 3, Dustin v Connor!
May end limp but can't wait regardless.

I would bet you right now it will not be limp. almost certainly be a finish
McGregor has only ever had 2 decisions in his career
100%. I got my favorite fighters, but Thug Rose was the only champ I got teary eyed for, all the history that came with getting that belt back.
In Moreno's case, it's the build up of how he got himself this shot, and being able to realized his dream.
Legit entrance music! Extasy of Gold
He is emotional
Love this entrance though, it takes me back to Metallica walking out in Slane Castle

I can't stand Adesanya. Total cringe to me.. but Vettori is worse. I can't stand him even more.
Hoping for a good, competitive fight. Not particularly rooting for either guy.
Too emotional.
Limp in the fact that it will not be even, I feel like it will be a one sided affair. So for the side that losses, it will feel like that.
But yeah, for the "neutral", if there are even those, a finish can be expected but just hopefully not in the first minute of the first round. Want to see some suffering and blood. Probably won't get it though.
Sexy entrance music for both fighters
Man it’s really hard to like this dude.
that says alot of how bad Vettori is then! Cause while I like Adesanya, I totally know how epically cringefest he can be.With this entrance...i rest my case. Fecking hell
I'd like to see a upset.
Have to say, for me his stock really fell after the Jan Blachowiz fight. I know he was moving up, and without being too disrespectful to Jan…..but I expected far more from Izzy in that fight, really has made me question him
Nice showmanship
With this entrance...i rest my case. Fecking hell
Worst thing about summer time is when it’s bright out when watching ufc
That’s true. Know people that idolise him. Not for me.
Love him, or hate it, that's for sure.
If Vettori wins, upset is the last thing half mma fans will feel, more like pure joy
the other half will definitely be upset though!The most un Italian looking man ever. Looks Polish or Russian.
I root for him, but still feel the cringe at times. As long as he can back up all the shite he says and does, all good for me.
I respect him as a fighter but find him unbearably cringeworthy. That entrance just reminded me of that fact.
Here we go!
Of all the people Adesanya can lose to this would be the worst
Is it just me, or does it look like Vettori is already breathing heavy??
Tight round. Vettori's stand up looks so sluggish compared to Adesanya.
This fight is going to end soon.
Vettori is so slow
That's 2 and 0 for Adesanya. Vettori offering nothing.
Vetorri arguing with his team, clearly down in himself and does not like criticism
Don’t think so. Bet this goes the full 5.
Izzy has great takedown defence against the fence. The way to take him down is with shots from the middle. Vettori finally realised it.
Vettori has no skill....how did he get a second fight???
Izzy trying to get points deducted to make it interesting?
That right leg is getting smashed.
I like Vettoris confidence but he just has nothing to offer.
Double jab.
Double jab.
Double jab.
That's all he's doing.
