    81-0 in significant strikes.

    Jesus H. Christ, that is frightening.

    1. Till has the charisma of a paper bag. He is so boring outside the octagon. He tries to be more charismatic but he is the Gerard of the UFC. All the talent and excitement in competition, as dull as a bread knife outside it.

    2. Till is like "This is for Liverpool" vs McGregor's "this is for my country". It frustrates me. Bisping was always proud of being English. Till couldn't care less, it's never about England, it's all about Liverpool (which is a sh1te city when it's not a proper night out or game day). I don't know why that annoys me, but it does. He's one of the rare fighters to have a sense of pride of where he is from but not his country. Slightly frustrating.

    Again, 1 is far bigger than 2. At least Woodley is actually good at trash talk. Also, Till said he'd beat McGregor cause "He is smaller than me" and then said he'd tire Lesnar out. Bish, exact same principles apply.

    you could listen to bisping all day and his trash talk was better than everybodys straight off the cuff and well ahead of conor there

    I really like till as a fighter and I like his confidence but after about a minute listening to him I always think about hitting the mute button...just painful!
    The gerard comparison is spot on though, even caragher for me.

    have price backed and on pts
    but also have what I think are cover bets on both to win in round three (11s+14s)

    big price fan, think he has a big future

    Jesus. He was out after the first hook, two more on the way down for good measure. ARA is a killer!

    Not for me.

    I don't mean this in a bad way, but I think people underestimate how good McGregor's path to the Aldo fight was.

    4 TKOs and a decision when he had bogey knee and then add in the TKO of Mendes.

    Till has had a draw, 1 TKO of Cerrone who probably shouldn't have taken the fight in the first place, and 3 decision wins. One of which was very close.

    Well I dont mean that the parallels are exact, nor am I saying that they or their respective runs are identical. Merely that there are a few things about Till that reminds of me of McGregor. Aspects of their character, their speed of ascent to the titleshot and headlining a PPV, and even in the cage, that upright stance and his blatant size advantage are all reminiscent for me of Conor.

    But fundamentally I agree with you, CM's run was the more impressive of the two, all things considered. Although the likes of Brimage, Brandao and Siver are not exactly the cream of the crop, you can only beat whats in front of you, and he demolished almost everyone they put in front of him, with the exception of the current champion who he still convincingly beat on one leg. You also have to factor in how he disposed of such a dominant champion in spectacular fashion, having absolutely mind f*cked him beforehand.

    Till certainly doesn't have that mental warefare game, and I dont see him replicating that kind of performance in the octagon tonight either. But lets see.

    If Dodson meets a similar fate to Price here, I will be delighted.

    Thats a 10-8 if ever I saw one lol

    It's unbelievable but one judge gave a 10 8 round to Carla in the Suarez fight earlier

    Had to have got them mixed up. Shows how clueless some of them are

    Hate when crowds boo fighters like this. Sometimes its justified when fighters are refusing to engage. This is clearly not one of those fights.

    This happened to ryan Burnett in boxing

    He won a split decision 119-107, 119-107, 108-118

    It turned out the third judge had the fighters wrong

    Good performance from Rivera, clearly the better fighter. Probably won’t cause huge problems for the likes of TJ, Cruz and Cody though.

    Zabit is a great addition to the division, exciting fighter and another potential future champ. Finish by sub here.
