    He must've hit him about 100 times before it was stopped, bit of a joke.

    Duffy could be fighting earlier than we expected.

    That is disgraceful officiating.

    Very late stoppage to be sure

    Tough to watch.

    Wonder if Joe gets a stoppage will people try question the legitimacy of it the same way Conors was

    One big thing I'm really interested to see is Duffy's improvements having spent most of the year at Tristar under Firas Zahabi. Should have improved his game greatly.

    I sense a subscription fee increase for Fight Pass coming in the very near future.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 207 ✭✭GFT


    Very tough one to call, if it goes to the ground then Duffy has it but I cannot figure out who would win it standing.

    365 closed off bets was gonna look at it. Porier was overpriced leading up to fight imo

    You wouldn't even be able to tell that this was the same venue as 189/194. Shocking that it's this empty.

    holy ****. The place is empty for this first fight

    Its not even 4pm in Vegas, who in Gods name would go to watch these tbf.Still at the pool.

    Its warmer in Dublin right now than it is in Vegas.

    I'd be there every fight, night after 189 I was there

    It was warmer when I got back to Toronto after 194!

    It's such a blatant exploitation of Irish fans to hold this on Fight Pass.

    I'm the same, even for local events. I went to one in Neptune Stadium in Cork, it was the Siam Warriors card with Sanchai and it lasted for about 6 hours maybe slightly more. I just enjoy all the fights and the drinking that goes with it would much rather drink and watch the fights than sit at a bar and show up late.

    Yeah i've only been too Dublin in 2014 and 194 and was there from the start from both. Couldn't understand people paying big money for a ticket and only coming in with 3 fights to go. Madness.

    In fairness, the UFC Dublin card was also on Fight Pass. No different really.

    To be fair it's the opposite. It was meant to be on fight pass originally, and it's on fight pass now. It's on at a decent time too, so it makes sense

    Fair enough, still unless your absolutely die hard people have drinking and gambling to do, its a long night.

    I watched terrible boxing before Pacman fight once, nearly short marriage watching all that crap on honeymoon however mma is different lower levels much better match making. Not there to pad records

    That makes no sense. Having to pay an extra premium for essentially 3 extra fights is exploitation and capitalising on the new Irish fanbase.

    Eh no, it is €7.99 per month for fight pass. They also go by my payment details not my email address for the free week.
