UFC 189 - McGregor v Mendes *READ MOD WARNING IN 1st POST*

Dick phelan

I'm more of a hardcore boxing fan and a casual MMA fan but that was one of the greatest fights i'v ever seen from either sport my god both are actually crazy imagine loosing a fight like that he'll never be the same again.

Starting to think a HD stream is needed to fully see the cuts, blood and all of the other injuries properly. Lawlors face looked like one big pixel to me.

Boxing is an afterthought. It's where the money is but its no longer the best in combat sports.

Boxing is still miles ahead of MMA in terms of popularity and public acceptance.

The BT Sports stream is proper HD! ||Everyone in the UK with BT Broadband (think Eircom here) has BT Sports for free. I just borrowed one of my mates log in details as I dont have BT Sports. Was delighted to see the stream is miles better than the much lower quality of Sky Go streams.

That's what I said, it's where the money is.

It isn't the best combat sport anymore though.

Rory will be a mess. Coming out for the 4th both eyes were near shut, nose broke, cut forehead and cheeks, possible broken hand. God I wish he finished him at the end of the 3rd.

No chance I'll wake up if I was to do that. Have to tough it out now.

The main card is nearly on so there will be some good fights to keep the tiredness at bay!

In work at 8am so needed to get something in!

Have €250 on McGregor KO though so had an extra incentive to get up

martyos121

Can they please leave Conor's fight until tomorrow night now?

Just can't catch my breath after that war.

youtube!

**** it my heart says Mcgregor but it seems most proper fighters think Mendes so @almost 7/4 I have to go wit my head. Mendes to derail the Hype train.

How much do UFC want Connor to win, the cash for an Aldo fight will be amazing
