    I'm pretty sure he wasn't begrudging anyone. :confused:

    Anytime somebody Irish is doing something on the international stage and every one gets excited about it, there's always one person standing back saying "look at em all jumping on the bandwagon"

    How am I begruding bb? I'm on the bandwagon. This is actually the first time I've seen McGregor fight in full.

    No worries. Genuinely is great to see Conor breaking into mainstream and continuing his success.

    Makes two of us! :o I've seen a lot of highlights, interviews and funny quips on Joe.ie but I'd never seen him fighting live before. Delighted I found the fight on time tonight. BT Sports FTW! :D

    Absolutely! :)

    Ireland was bound to break onto the scene at some point with all the good quality MMA gyms around the place now. It really is a sport on the rise on this Isle.

    Conor was class tonight. Total domination, even with a knee problem.
    I loved the fighting Irish stance he was doing in the 1st round.

    Man Shogun has fallen so far, Sonnen crushed him with ease. I'm almost tired about hearing him training with Chute Boxe and winning the Pride GP years ago.
    As Tinie said The Reem peppered Browne with Knee's and strikes and in a little over 2 slowed down and was running on fumes(credit to BT for the signal coming right back when it ended btw).

    9-10 months out. Absolutely gutted. Might put a Dublin show on hold or they could make it his comeback fight but it definitely wont be against a top 10 guy.

    Cm punk is ready to tag into Condit vs Kampmann tonight sitting front row.

    Edit: beside Dana and Matt Hughes by the looks of it as well. Nice push for punk.

    TUF would be far better with just a female cast, most of the men`s fights last night kinda sucked. Pity that next week
    it`s both teams first picks going head to head.
    Should be a great fight though.

    The MMA Hour has a stacked and amusing line up for a show airing later today:
    2:25 p.m. -- Conor McGregor will discuss how his rehab is going following ACL surgery.

    2:45 p.m. -- Legendary pro wrestler "Stone Cold" Steve Austin will talk about his love of MMA.

    Hope eternally Conor and Stone Cold interact.

    Just watched Gustaffson vs Jones thought Alexander won it despite slowing down late on but it may of been me backing him & Rogan turning into a Jones fanboy in the later rounds.
    Thumb in the eye what a load of bull, did Niles Crane teach Joe how to punch?

    That is rasslin talk not fightin.

    Anyoune watching the new series of TUF, Ronda Rousey isn`t portrayed too well in it, which is surprising. Certainly getting the same vibe I got from the series that I got when Evans & Rampage were coaching, where I changed my opinion of both of them after watching it.

    Junior has balls of like adamantium i`ll give him that. Thought he should of fought harder to get away in the clinch against the cage in the early rounds even with the tenacious pace set out by Velasquez & try to get control of the middle of the cage. Once Cain dropped him in the 3rd that was all she wrote as far as a comeback was concerned.
    Dana didn`t sound as enthused to announce Werdum vs Velasquez as he should as UFC president, it was a bit ah sure who else is there feel to it.

    Sanchez is daft though, was far more impressed with Melendez. Diego looking for the decision was a wee bit cheeky, the scamp. :p

    Very sad to hear about Shane Del Rosario R.I.P
    GSP will be announcing his future plans Friday, if there are any decisions being made I hope he has had them mental time lapses looked at.

    Just after Watching the Hunt vs Bigfoot fight after all the hype had to see for myself if it was as great as everybody is saying it is,the answer **** yes that four round was crazy Hunt trowing elbows and Bigfoot throwing left and right hooks and neither man backing now.

    I used to be huge into Ufc but just got bored of it to be honest but if there where more fights like that i would jump right back on the bandwagon.

    Watch Melendez vs Sanchez then and I enjoyed Jones vs Gustaffson if you haven't seen them. Got to recommend Jessamyn Duke vs Raquel Pennington from TUF aswell great fight
    The exchange in the 4th round was something else. You just don't see stuff like that in a heavyweight fight.

    GSP made the right choice today, if anything he should of done it sooner.
    Bit miffed that Condit was ignored for the title fight tbh.

    Either fedor is trolling or his hinting at the inevitable announcement tonight of him vs brock. And the russians arent exactly known for their sarcasm.

    Ill legit collapse if this is is announced tonight.

    UFC want to make money. This fight would be the biggest in MMA history should it go ahead. Nothing would come close.

    Hunt vs Nelson just couldn't suck. Its a pity that IF Fedor vs Lesnar were to happen it didn't happen 3+ years ago instead. Rousey vs Tate is the most arousing rivalry in sport, not that its hard tbh.

    The pinch of salt:
    There is an internet rumour that the UFC have signed Fedor and that they are going to announce a Brock/Fedor fight. I don't know where it came from but it's been gaining traction. Even more so now that about 20 minutes ago Fedor's Facebook account just posted as single smiley face.

    UFC will be hoping the next two fights won't be as brief as the other main card fights.
    No matter who uses them I always consider them elbows Browne used were downward
