    Anyone not in the pub bar me? :p

    It all starts at 5.45 folks


    prelims not showing up on my skybox on bts 2? yet it shows up online at 7

    I'm thinking maybe it's uk only :confused:

    I don't rate volkov, he's tough but that's about all..werdum wins this maybe by pts though will probably only need to get volkov down once for sub.

    think the two russians will beat craig and godbeer.

    manuwa beat blach before and should do so again esp in london.
    rest of the card looks alright, quite a few dogfights overall I think.

    Isn't it just great to have a ufc on at a normal hour to enjoy with a few beers?


    got a feeling I'll be the only one posting for this event :p

    Anywhere to watch the fightpass prelims?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,539 ✭✭✭John_D80


    I would not be 100% surprised at an upset in the main event to be honest. Volkov has shown himself to be awkward for grapplers in the past.

    Eye infection, fighter deemed unfit.

    Jack Marshman also out of his fight. Docs deemed him unfit, no further info.

    Bit lousy on Narimani after accepting this fight himself on 4 days notice. I assume he’ll get a chance anyway on another card.

    Ah balls. I was looking forward to that one. Marshman is a proper warrior. Literally.

    godbeer was doing well there too

    Not a terribly bad start to the evenings proceedings in fairness. Neither fighter will win any plaudits for technical ability displayed but they were both well up for it.

    Yeah looked like he was going to get him for a sec. Didn't expect it to be Godbear getting caught like that.

    gotta feel for him, chance of a lifetime possibly, hope he gets some reward for it but will surely get another chance now

    Stevie Ray time!

    It's a weird world when a 30 year old is saying they are the next generation!

    got a feeling johnson might take this

    Its nice to see someone having so much fun. I think Stevie will grind it out though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,135 ✭✭✭✭mailburner


    ray will be two rounds down before he knows it and be swinging for the fences round three and possibly get knocked out

    You must have posted that at the exact moment it looked like he was about to!

    gave it to johnson possibly a split even


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,539 ✭✭✭John_D80


    I expected better from Stevie Ray.

    That was a draw for me.

    Nice call! I thought Stevie just edged the second.

    Wow calling out the fans there!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,539 ✭✭✭John_D80


    Well said Mr Johnson.

    close call, thought kajan edged the second myself

    rare to see a lad giving out to the crowd even though hes right.
    would have been more clearcut only for the injury imo


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,135 ✭✭✭✭mailburner


    not bad so far lads, beats watching on a sunday morning for sure


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,135 ✭✭✭✭mailburner


    craig the biggest underdog on the card and rightfully so.

    This russian will no doubt be better than the last fella :)

    Coming in with a lot of hype behind him as well.

    Always tricky with these guys coming in without having really faced anyone. This will show where he's really at. Craig's surely on a last chance so he knows he really has to turn up tonight.
