Well nobody else started it.....

Good start to the night. Burns with an impressive submission.

Just turned it on.. think this one will be one for sky plus.. Aldo TKO 2nd round.. Mendes will give him a good going though

Big night for the subs so far

Lenin Skynard · 26-10-2014 1:46am

Thought Jorgensen looked decent until that kick. Nice kick all the same.

Reis looked shook at the very start of the round. Beautiful kick to the ribs and nice submission.

Going to check the odds on a Davis/Mendes sub double.

Clocks are about to go back so around 4am technically

Cabral has become known online as "Sleazy Machida" apparently. Have to say, looking at him, it kinda suits him.

Another good submission victory.

If anyone knows any way i could watch the fight could they please pm me :pac:

That Elkins v Martins fight was a tough one to watch. Elkins gave the type of performance that makes Dana White rant.

Damn, very sloppy fight right there

m.j.w · 26-10-2014 4:32am

some pretty poor fights to wacth so far, hopefully these next 2 are a bit better

empacher · 26-10-2014 4:44am

Has the main card started?

m.j.w · 26-10-2014 4:44am

yea its a good but through

riffmongous · 26-10-2014 4:50am

This fight's a bit weird, the lack of atmosphere makes it feel very boring

but1er · 26-10-2014 4:52am

Awful card really bad fights! Hopefully the main event worth staying up for!

stealinhorses · 26-10-2014 4:53am

Great control by davis, disappointed not to see glover put up a better fight

Duff · 26-10-2014 5:04am

Just home from the pisser in time. Can't see past Aldo.

riffmongous · 26-10-2014 5:10am

I just hope it's a decent fight incase i fall asleep

Wtf was Goddard at not getting in there at the end of the round

seanhynes · 26-10-2014 5:44am

Huge respect for Mendes great great fight that was

stealinhorses · 26-10-2014 5:47am

Close fight, I think the decision was right though, Mendes just didnt pressure hard enough in those even rounds of standing and trading. Bring on McGregoat!

Good fight. Mendes just didn't have the clinical edge in the end. As a relative n00b, I look forward to what happens next.

akelly02 · 26-10-2014 5:52am

Cant see mcgregor fearing anything he saw there, aldo definately not the force he was.

Mendes went for surprisingly few takedowns although when he did go for them Aldo is so quick he either avoided them or got back to his feet almost immediately.

Aldo is a very tough fight for Conor although he's tough for anyone. On the plus side for Conor is that Aldo is definitely very hittable despite his hand speed. Mendes tagged him a lot and Aldo's face was a mess by the end.

McGregor called it,Mendes in love with his hands and had no chance to outstrike Aldo.

As did pretty much anyone who has seen both fighters. Mendes was never going to win standing in front of Aldo. He got in some good strikes but his angles were poor and had Aldo tried to land leg kicks I think he could have slowed Mendes down early on. Good fight but Mendes was always coming off second best.
