    Fans at the event have nothing to boo about now.

    Thought that was a great orthodox copy of McGregor style but the submission was well battled for.

    Is Kavanagh any good as a coach? I mean apart for McGregor every other UFC fighter from SBG have been terrible.

    Amirkani was a fighter with some hype aswell, he went to SBG , then disappeared. What happened to the irish SBG takeover?

    How quick was that tap by the Russian lad v Craig. Possibly the quickest tap I've ever seen.

    Pendred, Holohan, Daly. All quality fighters and far from terrible.

    There are the obvious exceptions like Lobov and Ward who got to the UFC pretty much entirely because of McGregor but any team/coach that gets that many fighters to the UFC is better than good.

    Bullet from Roberts there, Enkamp looked about 16 years old

    Another quick KO. Nice.

    Enkamp just looked too slow and laboured entering and exiting with his strikes. When you think how quick Wonderboy and Till are (who are similar style fighters as Encamp) they move much quicker.

    These are the exact fighters i am talking about

    Pendred ... punching bag
    Holohan ... grappler that got outgrappled by smolka. zero striking
    Daly ... terrible

    and these were the best ?

    Now this new prospect has tons of hype and looks like a killer, goes to SBG and get demolished in the next fight

    What is the record of SBG in ufc without conor?

    Yeah he seemed to want to just try as many fancy spinning kicks as possible you just can't go doing that at this level.

    All three mentioned got to the Premier MMA promotion in the world entirely on their own merit. They may not have set the world on fire but they got there when 99.99999999% of fighters wont even ever get near it and the same percentage of MMA teams will never get a single fighter in the UFC, never mind as many as SBG has.

    Holohan - lost his qualification fight on Ultimate Fighter (so could not get to ultimate fighter and should never got to UFC)
    Daly - lost on ultimate fighter
    Pendred - had great heart but never skill for decent level in UFC

    Fact is they all got to UFC because of interest in McGregor/Ireland and a huge expansion of the UFC roster.

    Out of interest does anyone have a win loss record for SBG in UFC without Mcgregor? It must be shocking.

    Totally agree they would have got nowhere on their own merit, had they been English or American etc they would not have got any limelight over much more talented fighters.
    Ward is a stumpy slugger I would love to see a rematch with him and Johnny Redmond without the McGregor circus.
