UFC 246 McGregor vs Cerrone Sat Jan 18th (See first post)

Axwell

This thread is for discussion of the UFC 246 Event card only.

The usual rules regarding the discussion about McGregor apply here the same as in the McGregor thread - if you are unsure of those familiarise yourself here

If you are just dropping in to give your 2 cents on McGregor and have no interest in the fight or the card I suggest you turn around and don't post and save yourself a likely card or ban...this is an MMA forum discussion here is about MMA.

The thread will be opened at the weekend for the card - all other discussion can continue in the other thread until then.

Absolutely no discussion on IPTV or illegal streams

Consider this the one and only warning - there will be absolutely no nonsense tolerated here, you are all more than well aware of the rules, the charter and how things are regarding McGregor on here.

What time does...

grasso v gadelha cancelled due to grasso, being 5lbs over, was announced hours ago, just in case nobody seen it or cares.

edit: kelleher v osbourne bumped up to main card.

Worst fight card on paper since Ufc 208

Awful cringe, that's actually quite annoyed me. Would love him to get absolutely battered tonight.

Only in Ireland would you have the biggest MMA star of all time from your own country , coming back after a very long hiatus and all the legal stuff going on when there was a chance he might never fight again and people giving out about the rest of the fight card . We really are a bunch of miserable bastards aren’t we

We will probably never have another fighter from this island come anywhere close to what Conor can do and has done but nearly every person I have talked to say the undercard is weak and moaning about the 30 euro price . Even though a McGregor fight is always a great fight with plenty of action . If your an irish MMA can you should not be moaning about any of that stuff and should be looking forward to tonight .

Of course if it the outside stuff has put you off I would understand but don’t feckin moan about undercards .

I don’t mean on this forum only , I mean I general .

The amount of people giving out about the undercard and price of the event yet they are the same people who have paid the same amount for plenty of other MMA and boxing events that ended up being borefests, this card could end up being brilliant by the end of the night .

At least with Conor you know it’s going to be action and he only happens to be the biggest name in combat sports and he he only happens to be from our own country . It’s just typical Irish people really. Look for any reason to whinge .

Oops, hadn't realised. Will be watching tomorrow anyway. No way I'm staying up for this

PCros

I’m on Virgin Media...can I watch this fight on my telly and if so how?

TIA

magic_murph

its a PPV event so no matter who you are with you will need to pay the 30quid.

I think 30quid for the quality of this card is expensive but when you consider you many UFC events we get for free a year its worth paying.

StringerBell

That makes no sense, this product isn't worth 30 but pay the 30 because you get other products for the price of your subscription that are overall of superior quality.........which you will get whether you give them the 30 for this or not.... Just watch it illegally, it isn't a ppv quality card and no way in hell will I be paying for it anyway.

Whelo79

All the giving out about the poor quality of the undercard actually highlights how spoiled we are as MMA fans and what an amazing product the UFC offer on such a regular basis.

In comparison I can't remember the last time a big boxing event had more than 2 fights on it that I was really interested in watching. Usually one, maybe two big fights and the rest full of young prospects padding their records against journeymen.

I know, but I’m just not sure how to go about it

Plenty of fight night cards are awesome. This is a poor fight night card, even by their standard. It's only a ufc numbered event because of Connor, which is ridiculous. Sad thing is, They couldn't even be bothered to put together a decent card to back it up.

Not sure about this at all to be honest. I think a lot of people are sleeping on Cowboy. Yes he is in the twilight of his career and somewhat of a gatekeeper but he is still an elite well rounded fighter with unrivaled experience to call upon. He is in the weight class that suits him best, is coming into this with zero pressure as most people expect him to lose and thus he has licence to simply go out there and have a great time. That all adds up to a very dangerous man imo.

I believe that prime CM beats him 9 times out of 10, but after the last fight I have my doubts about whether McGregor is now past his prime or not. Its also really a no win situation for him - beat Cowboy and it will no big deal because he is the big favourite. Lose and it will be a massive blow to his status and ambitions.

lets see.

I don't want to write Cerrone off but he's hardly convincing with his "happy to be there" vibe he's been giving off all week
