Attendance tonight for their biggest card of the year in the world's fight capital: 10,000.

Will you come back to Dublin more often Dana? "No the arena is too small, it only holds 10,000".

Yes but in Vegas they can get shedloads of ppv buys, hold it in ireland and there will be few due to timezones so you need to make up for it in attendance

''I dont just knock them out,I pick the round''

m.j.w

This press conference is some craic, a cow boy, your one looks as if shes of her head, mcgregors like a pimp and you man Dana just talks ****e. Ufc is entertaining anyway

Ah Jesus, reel it in pal.

I'm a bit disappointed I didn't get to see more of McGregor. His standup is outstanding but I would love to see him in there with Edgar or guida. He's no joke when he let's the hands go.

For ****s sake

Nice little dig at Cole Miller.

I'd say you'll be waiting a while for people to PM you for intelligent discussion.

He got a performance of the night bonus, plus he'll get a PPV percentage.

$200,000 is a low estimate.

dave1982

I knew he'd do well and I know he got 50 k bonus but surprised to hear he is on % of PPV's already 4 fights, last night being he's 1st time beating a top 10 fighter. Theres fighter in UFC years some big enough names not getting % of PPV's

John_D80

He is NOT getting a PPV cut. Said so himself in the post fight presser. And he also did not deny that he is on 75k/75k when asked about his pay for the night.

Also to the best of my knowledge, PPV payouts are done on an event by event basis. As far as I know there is not a single fighter in the UFC that has it in their contract.

Undoubtedly. And in fairness MM owes him a few pints for boosting the PPV sales last night as well.

Poll on ufc.co.uk had 51% of people who responded saying that Conor's was the fight they most wanted to see on the whole card.

mailburner

cruz
zingano
romero
mc gregor
cerrone

5 fights back to back, outstanding performances/fights
In all the years watching mma I can't remember five consecutive fights
delivering like those
If you're not a fan after watching all of those last night you will never be


can't wait to see cruz again along with conor of course, equally blown away
by both of those performances even if they were expected by most (the conor ko anyway)
who's to say in under a year that with one more fight under their belts that both cruz and mc gregor could be fighting for gold in their respective divisions

dave1982

If any thing happens Mendes and he's out the Aldo.Conor will get the call

Mr. CooL ICE

Was too drunk last night to stay up so just watched it now. Amazing. Would love to see him against Bermudez next.

JacksonHeightsOwn

is there any interviews with Poirier from last night?

Id be interested to hear his opinion on the fight.

I see some of the yanks are having a whinge about back of the head shots. Shower of babies the lot of them. Its not a tiddly winks contest

GottaGetGatt

Ah he's just a touch of class. He's so relaxed in the octagon it's a joy to watch his movement.Haters gonna hate

What a card. Manny is a beast, the mans got nads of steel (literally). One of the worst low blows I've seen. I was delighted for Cruz even though he fupped up my bet, he's close to a title shot at this stage. I'll need to rewatch the McGregor fight again, was Poirier really complaining about the finish? He was getting pounded without protecting himself, what does he expect. Missed the last 2 fights, Woolshed stopped showing it after the McGregor fight :mad:

GottaGetGatt

The Cerrone and Alvaraz fight was good. A lot of respect for Alvaraz

Yep. Just watching the post fight presser now.

Just watching the post-fight presser there, is Conor missing a tooth at the bottom or was it always that way?

I read on sherdog forums last night that he got one broken.

My bad, I didn't realise the level of discussion you were looking for.

Why don't the UFC just strip Aldo of the belt and give it to McGregor? He'll whoop everybody in the division easily, putting him in the cage with different styles of fighters will be absolutely pointless. Óleeeee, óle óle óleeeeee, óleeeee óleeeeee
