    I'm not the most patriotic of people, but 200 needed Conor and the Irish fans.

    Cormier should be steam rolling Silva there hes fighting a 41 year old 2 stone lighter on 2 days notice dont care how good he was before,


    There is something about short notice fighters they nearly always do better than expected.

    The UFC might have just jumped the shark.

    I think Nate has had a few beverages and a toke or two.

    Why.

    WWE have allowed the UFC to utilise their biggest draw and the biggest draw in UFC history.

    Jesus I can barely understand Nate. I haven't heard him speak much before but he genuinely doesn't sound well.

    Why did they interview Nate when Conor is nearby? He can barely string a sentence together

    This comes down to whether Brock can get the take down before Hunt faceplants him.

    A guy, yes, the GOAT who is incredibly good off his back, with everything that has gone on? Not so bad.

    He had two stone on him and DC is an Olympian. As soon as it went to deck it should've been over. Silva would've had no conditioning under his belt.

    I think that they spend so long focused on, and training for one guy, to be faced with another guy completely with probably a different style and plenty of different strengths/weaknesses throws a lot of fighters.

    UFC is basically WWE without the fixed finishes. I don't know why people get hot and bothered about WWE

    I actually think Joe hates Conor, if Conor beats Nate in the rematch I think the post fight interview will be quite interesting.

    That pretty much anything could happen! Hunt sub does seem unlikely having said that though.
