Same old Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Home Alone etc. What do we make of Meryl Streep? I see JK is having a pop at her on Twitter calling her a multi-millionaire celebrity with no humility. Which, of course, is drawing some ironic replies.

If I trained in MMA and had a real passion for it, those constant flow of comments would get on my nerves.

I'm glad McGregor went for the LW belt, as I don't think FW held much more for him at the time. Woodly and Bisping need to defend their titles before trying to arrange a "super fight" that no one is calling for.

It's def. not close at all, but it's def. a story worth monitoring" That's interesting to me as Ariel has been quick to shoot down these rumours before. I got the impression he barely wanted to make reference to it.

He seems to think he has made only 7m or so and I think is ignoring how much Conor has made after his PPV cut. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3TGGEt-m-E
