Its actually such a good card. Cant wait for Miesha Tates comeback too

Hello 2D Person Below

That's a banger of a card. I'll definitely be in it for the whole hog.

I was only wondering recently where Hall had been.


McGregor KO

I'm more excited by Ryan Hall's bout.

If you get the PPV on Sky do you get the prelims or only the main card? I have Fight pass for the early prelims but I don't have a BT sport subscription.

Confused me a bit. She isn't on that card

DodoDojo

Oh damn, you are right. Dunno why I thought she was on this card

Mellor

Conor, Dustin, Burns, Wonderboy, Ryan Hall, Tai Tuivasa, Carlos Condit

Best card this year. Probably best card since Covid.

Best Conor card in a long time. Usually they seem to just lean on his star power for the whole card.
I think Condit is the top prelim right, so a good 3 hours of top range fights for sure. lovely.

Great card is right!

Think Dustin gets another TKO here.

Also hoping Niko Price gets a good hold of that eejit Pereira in the Prelims.

Gilbert's missus's reaction to him swinging a golf club is the funniest thing I've seen in a while

Dustin looks a lot leaner this time around.

Dang that is a good card. I've not been following as I tend to lose interest as soon as yer man is mentioned.
I assume it's a PPV which is a shame as I might have watched this on Sunday morning.

Probably Connors last ufc fight, he's pretty much done on the sport, wouldn't surprise me if he fights one of the Logan Pauls next

Unlikely, he would just go to another promotion but the UFC wouldn't let him go if he lost, he is a cash pinata.

Two episodes of embedded and no McGregor yet. Really keepong a low profile. A

Agreed , maybe he would be content to fight Diaz, or even Masvidal if he loses?

Yeah lads at the end of their careers, but plenty of money to be made.

Effects

Glad to see Dustin get the win in this one. I hadn't watched much of the buildup, but Conor came across like a really sore loser in the post fight interview. Nothing remotely likeable about him at all.

Gamb!t

Delighted Poirier won, pity the injury ended the fight so soon.

El Gato De Negocios

Awful to see such a horrific injury happen to any fighter but there is a certain karmic feel about it happening to someone as deeply unlikeable as McGregor.

Zero-Cool

It reminded me of monty python the way he was sitting on the ground with 1 foot telling Dustin he was gonna kill him. I get he must have been in shock but man, how he's fallen.

Effects

Yeah, lying in a heap on the ground, after losing a fight, and the best thing he can come up with is calling Dustin's wife a hoe. The man is a joke at this stage.

yourdeadwright

Terrible way to go out,

Mic should never have been put in front of him in that state, he made a fool of himself in what could be his last time in the Octagon

Also as much of a horrible man he is , he is one tough f*cker to sit there like that after what happened to him ,

Time to retire & live a nice easy life ,

I don't think he can live a nice easy life. Not only is he trouble, he attracts trouble too.

It shows what kind of an organisation the UFC is that they would even consider allowing an interview with a man lying on the floor after his ankle had just shattered.In any other sport he would have been stretchered off and been given immediate medical attention, not least for shock
