Ouch...

Yeah its a Vegas card, so main card fights starting at 3am here, would be touching 4 before he got in id say if hes the third last fight. Main event nearing 5. Long night ahead for you, im in the airport at around 7am so i wont be sleeping by the looks of things.

Poirier is 9/4 to win in some bookies, is this worth a punt do ye think? They seem pretty stretched odds for opponents who are supposed to be evenly matched.

Hi there, could anyone out there tell me the best way to get the fight? I have UPC but I would have to sign up to Setanta Sports package for a year.. Is there any other way to get it in?? I heard about fight pass thing, but that is through the internet, would that stream right etc?
Thanks in advance of any help

I think you can sign up to Setanta for a month on UPC I think around €16? you can't avail of the 1euro trial deal thats goin on at the moment though.

Fight Pass is online yeah can and would stream well provided on your computer performance along with your broadband if you choose this service though that particular card is a pay-per-view so along with the sign up fee would still have to pay for the card.

Conor told inside mma that ufc are flying him to Brazil for the aldo mendez fight. In other words they fully expect him to beat dustin and get him involved in the title contention.

I think it's too soon but I wouldn't be that surprised. Let's say Conor and Aldo win, that leaves us looking for Aldo's next challenger. Mendes is obviously out of the equation having lost again, while the other two main contenders Edgar and Swanson are looking like they'll be fighting in late 2014/early 2015 which leaves them out of action for a while. I think he should be 2+ fights from the title but Dana knows that it would sell.

Wouldnt surprise me in the slightest if he goes out and KOs Dustin in the first then gets a shot, his stock will be so high after it. What would sell more McGregor v Mendes/Aldo or Swanson v Mendes/Aldo? People have skipped the cue many a times. Id rather Conor faced some sort of wrestler before he gets a shot because i think Mendes will beat Aldo & Mendes would styalistically be a way tougher fight for Conor imo. But then i have a dilemma of having to watch two of my favourite fighters right :pac:

Was watching old events tonight and decided to watch UFC Dublin again, man how good was Conors entrance? Still get shivers of that night watching it back. Glad i ended up going to it in the end it was a super event what an atmosphere. Really pumped for Saturday now.

I know it was McGregors night and a great night for SBG and Gunni and Seery and all that but if you ask me in 10 years what I remember from that night having been there it has to be Cathal's pure warrior comeback against drug fueled Mike King. I mean I lost my voice shouting like a mad man and there was this first time mma dude beside me who I guarantee has now become a die hard mma fan literally because Pendred made it out of that first round. It was an extraordinary experience to see somebody defy odds like that and weather such a beating and not give up... truly fking inspiring. Big Thanks t Pendred for that experience. It went way beyond money and sport.. it was primal inate courage and anyone stepping in against him from now on will look at that tape and think 'jesus what do I have to do to take him out... '
You gotta pin point knock him out which is almost impossible or you're there for the 3 rounds and he'll eat your soul rather than give you a sub.

I can't be the only one who isn't a fan of those stories? Sure I admire heart but I much prefer seeing technique prevail. Pendred went out brawling and got caught just like he did in his TUF fights.

I wish Seery got more exposure, because he put two cracking fights on when he fought and showed some good boxing, but being as reserved as he is he hasn't got as much attention.

Yeah i agree, i think Pendred will be caught out against a decent striker because of that. I said it before and people didnt agree but imo iv seen fights stopped for way less Pendred got away with it but came back very strong. Mike King was no world beater and managed to catch him fairly easy. It was a nasty sub to win it though il give that to Pendred!

Seery put on a serious show again, im surprised another fight for him hasnt been announced yet, if i was him id be ringing sean shelby everyday. Paddy also put on a cracking fight after getting his shot, really looking forward to his next fight in October.
