Its a 1 fight card and that fight will go 2 rounds max. Miller vs Lauzon would of nearly been a prelim 5 years ago, its a fight where the winner will go nowhere in the lightweight title reckoning

Well Cerrone is fighting Pettis the winner will probably get a title shot after or before Melendez. I can't see Miller or Lauzon getting a title shot anytime soon with Aldo talking about a move up to 155 aswell and I hope Edgar is in there somewhere too. So who will Miller fight next Diaz? No he lost to him a few months ago.

Was meant to quote the post saying the main event was a damp squib >.<

GTR63 · 30-12-2012 7:39am

Maybe squib wasn't the right word but after that hand connected in the first round it was just impossible for Cigano to recover in time, it would of knocked out a LOT of men. Cain then pushed on in the 2nd, the next few rounds just felt as acedemic as joining dots to watch I felt Cain could of moved in for the kill instead of taking the rounds.

The New Japan Tokyo Dome show will have an interesting undercard at least. He could do worse.

Anybody know is the new series of TUF worth a watch?

rovert · 03-02-2013 9:21pm

Silva does it for The Brock.

I`m replaying that in my head with Mauro Ranallo going mental.

Haven`t watched this or the FOX card yet, were they any good?

Both really good cards. The lil nog vs. Rashad fight literally put me to sleep though.

I was amazed Evans got beat & he was talking about a Silva fight and all :rolleyes:

Scar Tissue · 03-02-2013 11:54pm

He needs to drop to 185 and cop on a little bit

rovert · 04-02-2013 12:13am

The Fox card was very, very good. Saturday's show had a lot of boring fights.

What fights did you think were boring out of interest?

rovert · 08-02-2013 1:49pm

UFC are staging their first ever women's fight in the main event of a PPV at the end of the month. This is the first "UFC Primetime" hype special:

Posting it as people are raving about this especially the super emotional last ten minutes. Positively comparing it to the high end specials like the Brock-Mir in terms of quality. As Wrestling fans I think we have a higher appreciation for the art of manipulation involved in these things in terms of turning human interest stories into motivation to invest to watching someone fight. This is an incredibly effective example of that.

Tinie · 13-02-2013 4:28pm

Were any of ye in trinity yesterday? Saw on facebook that a mate of mine got a picture with dana in temple bar

Yeah not just European card level star potential but legit US PPV main card potential.

Apparently Conor was on the dole receiving €188 a week and he won the $60,000 Knockout of the Night bonus!

Well he was fighting and training full time, so there's no surprise that he had no income.

Conor did exceptionally well on The Late Late tonight:

Nice one bud, i was trying to pay attention but i had loud bastards in the room... Thanks.

GTR63 · 29-04-2013 2:05am

Just been catching up via Sky+ Tate vs Zingano was such a great fight, pity that Urijah seemed to fail to perform to the level of his series performances but UFC were hyping him up far too much in the build up as if he`d to only show up. Found the Jones & Sonnen verbal exchange on the finale to be more entertaining than there fight was last nite. Jones brushed him off easily on both occasions but that broken toe looked quite painful.

rovert · 05-07-2013 9:29pm

Tinie · 05-07-2013 9:35pm

Ill be gone grey by the time they come back.

Even though its a shame we got such a poor card back for 93, the atmosphere was still immense. I can only imagine what it would be like with with say Conor fighting for a title. Katie taylor @ olympics x 2.

GTR63 · 06-07-2013 1:03am

GTR63 · 07-07-2013 5:35am

Hard to know what to make of that its like a legit equivelent of a fingerpoke of doom in a weird kinda backend way. Bit farcical, bid daft and a LOT of stupid.

Mr.Nice Guy · 07-07-2013 5:42am

I find myself thinking that was so stupid that there must be more to it than meets the eye. I loved the finish, though.

GTR63 · 07-07-2013 5:50am

It has me feeling utterly confused. The way he was talking afterwards it was like losing it means he can go on to greener pastures(super fights etc) or what he thinks are greener.
Him vs Bones is now about as anticipated as the Leinster football final to me now.

QikBax · 07-07-2013 9:31am

Seeing Anderson getting knocked out after all his showboating was one of the great sporting moments

rovert · 07-07-2013 12:32pm

The two non-fans who watched it with me thought it was a fix.

DM_7 · 07-07-2013 12:46pm

I am not a big fan or claim to have any knowledge of the sport but did look up the ending of this one:

I thought the hit on the chin that knocked him down was odd as he left himself so open but the he does seem to get caught from this angle. The big punch on the ground followed quickly and his head bounced off the ground with a big impact - looked nasty.

DM_7 · 07-07-2013 1:17pm

also saw this image

Hangballlouie · 07-07-2013 10:34pm

Good booking by Dana. Weidman is like sheikie was in the 80s and will hold the belt till his next fight and drop it then. Possibly to Sonnen who Dana is hot on and probably feels he deserves a run as champ.

Tinie · 08-08-2013 2:03pm

Great interview with conor here in the second hour of the show and a surprise caller near the end. He's some man to hype a fight, great talker. Im super hyped for the fight against max.

rovert · 08-08-2013 2:13pm

I assume the road block on the Paddy Power sponsership is the $100,000 fee UFC charges sponsers to sponser fighters.

The press conference is up for this saturday, and conor was on the panel also.

rovert · 17-08-2013 10:58pm

Conor's fight is soon:

GTR63 · 17-08-2013 11:56pm

Coming up next according the longwinded FOX presenter.

D2D · 18-08-2013 12:51am

Dominant performance by Conor, proved he can change it up esp when his knee popped

sockmo · 18-08-2013 1:08am

The whole prelim card was brilliant, staying up to watch this tonight in perparation for summerslam tomorrow night

Diabhal Beag · 18-08-2013 1:17am

They only show Yank football late in Galway City so it's a pretty big deal that they showed the Conor fight. Good showing and nice to see the bandwagon picking up.

The bandwagon has been at full speed all around the world for months now.

And the bandwagon is thoroughly justified.
