What time will the McGregor fight be on?
It's difficult to give a precise time, but with 6 fights on the main card including 3 title fights, it is likely that Alvarez v McGregor will start at around 6am. However, the McGregor v Diaz 2 fight started 15 minutes earlier than expected so I would be tuning in around 5:30am to be safe.

How can I watch the event?
Fight Pass Prelims (the first 3 fights of the night) are live on Fight Pass (free trial for new users or €7.99 a month. Subscribe here, just don't forget to cancel if you don't want to continue to be billed!). Fight Pass will also get you the Prelims live (the next 4 fights before the main card), while the Prelims are also broadcast on BT Sport.

Since August, the only legal way to view the main card of UFC events live now is to have access to BT Sport. Virgin Media customers no longer have access to BT Sport which was well documented in the summer.

Sky customers can subscribe here at a special UFC 205 offer price of €16.99 per month (no annual contract, but minimum 2 months required) or €225 for the year, while Eir broadband customers can get BT Sport for free on their Sky box by providing Eir with their viewing card number. Eir broadband customers can also access BT Sport online for free (and view on their PC/laptop via their browser or tablet or phone via the app) by following the instructions here.[/CENTER]

Seriously.

We have beaten Austria away in a proper sport recognised all over the world, and there's a thread in AH about some Mickey Mouse sport made up in the last 20 years that appeals to 20 and 30 somethings because some Irish skanger is good at it?

It aint a mickey mouse sport, these are serious athletes performing tonight and the best in the world at what they do. If you dont like it fair enough but millions will be watching tonight who have been waiting for this for months now. By the end of the night Ireland could have a two weight world champion, no harm in supporting and celebrating our own, just like we do other Irish sportsmen and women.

Was I harsh?

In my defence, had a hernia op 2 days ago and reckon I've either torn the mesh under the skin, or the stitches under the bandage after the football result...

Bah...

Not a fan of painkillers.

Had kidney stones last year. That redefines the pain threshold. So, while I can almost feel the mesh and pins and stitches grind against each other as skin, membrane and organs move separate ways, I'll put up with it. I'm sure UFC fans will appreciate that!

Granted, the alcohol helps...

Hopefully the gimp gets knocked the f*ck out, the bandwagoners move onto something else, and we can go back to enjoying the sport.

Although I will miss the McGregor thread on the mma forum, some of them over there are a special breed.

Hey now, maybe ye would like it a bit more if you understood what was happening?

I used to think Cycling was boring until I learned about the amount of teamwork & strategy that goes into it.

I think the Frankie Edgar fight should have been pushed to the main card after Cowboy's fight got cancelled. What I'd give to see Edgar and Maynard fight again...

My picks (not necessarily the people I want to win):
Eddie Alvarez
Tyron Woodley
Joanna Jędrzejczyk
Chris Weidman
Raquel Pennington

A sport or any form of entertainment is only as popular as its biggest star

Rousey is done after her next match and McGregor is probably too unfocused to stick around for another 5 years let alone another 10 ( remember he quit earlier this year only to be enticed back)

Its up to ufc now to identify and market the next star though that's often very difficult especially after two huge stars come along at once. Usually after that happens and they leave a major downperiod occurs

Whats your reasoning for the Alvarez, Woodley and Jedrzejczk prediction? Wiedman and Pennington I can see winning but not the others

Was that match for a title? Are Austria some world power in football? Is there any chance of Ireland's football team winning anything significant in the near future?

That's why this is more appealing.

I might stay up to watch this but 5.30 am is kind of highway to the dangerzone territory for me. Don't follow the sport, but for those who do - will it be a good contest and what would the best tip/wager be for the main event to throw couple of euro's on?

Alvarez looks rattled, I reckon Conor got in his head.....his trump card.
Imo, it will go the first, if Alvarez battles like a demon he might get it to the early second. He wont get much further than that

Also, loving all the posters with the usual scumbag rhetoric. I can only imagine that their lives are as rigorous and dedicated to this level of physical combat.
Ya know, the folks eating shyte and drinking like a fish tonight all the while sucking in their guts and chins.
Very easy to knock someone whist sitting down in your armchair ;)

If McGregor wins, he'll win fast. First 2 rounds.
