VIDEO: The queue to see Conor McGregor’s UFC 196 weigh-in is a Homeric Odyssey

Get in line

This queue may well have no end.

Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz will weigh in for their UFC 196 headliner just after midnight [Irish time] and there is a mother, father and Aunt Katherine of a queue to see it.

This was always going to be a sell-out affair but the dust-up at Thursday’s press conference, which saw security swarm the stage to separate the pair, has increased the interest further.

This was the queue, at 9pm [1pm local time in Las Vegas time] for those who got in line early.

For the rest? We just hope they packed sun cream.

Truly epic.
