Do worry about him a little - could the mods tell us if he has logged in at least?

His account has been closed for quite some time. I hope he is doing well but as he isn't here to speak for himself and it's not really the place to discuss him or speak about another user so let's keep on topic.

Not too surprising considering they used the trolley incident which Dana said was the most disgusting thing he had ever seen.

How Soon Is Now

Right for anyone who cant find a way of watching this try DAZN.

Follow this link for tips on how to set it up and how to pay. https://www.hotukdeals.com/discussions/how-to-subscribe-to-dazn-from-the-uk-stuck-at-pay-for-subscription-3099303?page=3#thread-comments

You get a free month then just cancel before its up.

You need a decent vpn to run it as it will only work in certain country's Germany Austria Switzerland etc. You also need to register using a German card but the link details how to work around.

I have managed to setup an account just waiting for it to verify to see will it stream.

Its worth a try anyway there a very well known legit streaming company.

Just a follow up on this spent hours last night trying to figure out solution lol.

Make a new Google account add your card to it for Google Pay you can use your own address.

Find yourself a VPN I tried a few but the one that's got me in fully was Surfshark. If you download the app on the play store on your phone you can sign up for free 7 day trial then just cancel it in the play store before end date.

So anyway connect it via Germany and sign up to DAZN then pay using your Google pay account everything should work fine u get a month's free and again just cancel threw play store before the end date.

So DAZN is a tricky bastard the only European version I was able to get working was there Spanish one. So you connect to the server for Valancia in Surfshark sign into DAZN and everything should work! They have the ufc there for Sunday 3am.

I was able to get an app for DAZN and Surfshark on the nvidia shield so I'm sure be no issue for fire sticks or laptops or whatever!

Far as I can see some stuff is English some is Spanish but it's free so feck it!

fight week and nobody has an event thread? where are we gonna put the embeddeds ?!

Danis was talking **** to Khabib, hence Khabibs attack.

Dillon has a fight to concentrate on an anyway. Very interested to see his career progress.

[Deleted User]

Danis is merely not eligible to corner in Nevada because he has an outstanding fine. It would be the same for anyone. "Banned" might be technically true but it's kind of sensationalist.

I assume Sutcliffe will be in the corner, alongside JK and Roddy. I never thought Danis was of much use (in the corner) anyway. He's clearly an exceptional BJJ player but his cageside advice is sub par.

I remember the time of the bus incident, Dana gave an interview within an hour of it happening and condemned everything to happen. He even said he wasn't sure what drugs he was on, and said he didn't want anything to do with him blah blah blah. I couldn't believe they used all of the footage from that incident to sell the Khabib fight.

Now we have a video of a man sitting at a bar getting punched and the UFC are using this as promotional material? WTF?

you can actually see in every interview he's done recently he's doing his best to fix his image. I'd say his people are pleading with him to stop with all the BS, as the brand is being destroyed by him. I think Irish people know what he is now, it's just Knackers that support him. The Americans don't see what we can see in him. We can see through the image he's trying to promote now. Think of the Video's of him with those 2 scumbags in the strip club and they are all off their faces. No amount of pictures of him and the kids in matching PJs can pull the wool over my eyes. If he didn't make it in the UFC, he'd be a barman somewhere. Any clown that buys his runners or Proper 12 needs their head examined. This fight is a joke. It's a gimmie to see where he is.

Its a very dangerous fight against a very active fighter. Theres no substitute for Octagon experience.

McGregor has had one fight since Alvarez. 14 minutes of in Octagon fighting in 3 years. Cerrone has had 11 fights in that time. Lost 6 of them sure, but still a very active fighter. He has fought all shapes and sizes in his career. From Alvarez to Till.

As tall a fighter as McGregor has fought which will become very evident this week at the face offs. Bigger, stronger, durable and those head kicks can be lethal.

I would still expect McGregor to win easily enough but, one shot from someone that size can change everything. Cerrone is also a black belt in BJJ.

Tyson sold the most ppv’s AFTER he was released from prison. Here’s the thing, you don’t need to support him to be interested in watching him. Bad guys sell in the fight game, always have, always will. Rubber neck syndrome.

Anyway, onto the fight; anyone else think this is lining up to be a Diaz affair again? I don’t think this would be as easy as people think it is for McGregor. Lot if people under estimating cowboy, McGregor included (altho that’s his confidence), but I can see cowboy getting a nasty elbow in or headkick on a clinch release and hurting McGregor who’ll be sluggish at 170.

As the Poster stated above, you can watch without liking him.
I watched him fight Khabib and enjoyed his arse being handed to him.
I will be watching, but my money will be going to IPTV and not him.

Ha, Nothing at all. I could have picked any job. I don't think he'd even have the work ethic to hold down any job. He made it to the top by the skin of his teeth, it easily could have went nowhere.

there's a yin and yang to all of us and I think he has a dark side, when fostered in bad company, with all the money, has explosive damage potential. Though I agree with most of what you've said, lets not forget, cocaine is a horrible drug and it sounds like he's a slave to it. SO take that away, take all the dirt bags away and leave the man to bee seen as he is. It could easily be a nasty part of his life curve that he might just come through. Yes he has brands he owes, yes he has shareholders to satisfy, being sued into the record books might just be the wake up call he needs!!

Personally I'd like to see Mcgregor the fighter on Saturday, that's all that Excites me, the rest is marketing, good or bad. If you think the fight is a joke, you must have confidence in him or think very little of cerrone, any fight can turn on a coin.
