UFC 178 - McGregor-Poirier**Tune in from 3:30 onwards to see McGregor

DrPhilG

What with Conor being on this card, the recent scuffles at the presser and the general epicness of this card, there are posts about it all over the place so I thought I'd go ahead and start the specific thread a bit earlier than usual.

Light Heavyweight - Jon Jones (c) vs Daniel Cormier

Bantamweight - Dominick Cruz vs Takeya Mizugaki

Middleweight - Tim Kennedy vs Yoel Romero

Women's Bantamweight - Cat Zingano vs. Amanda Nunes

Featherweight - Dustin Poirier vs Conor McGregor

Welterweight - John Howard vs Brian Ebersole

Welterweight - Patrick Côté vs Stephen Thompson

Lightweight - Jon Tuck vs Kevin Lee

Lightweight - Bobby Green vs Jorge Masvidal

Bantamweight - Manvel Gamburyan vs Cody Gibson

Lots of speculation that McGregor vs Poirier may be the co-main event although I don't think it's confirmed, although given that they were the ones getting the press conference the other day along with Jones and Cormier I wouldn't be surprised.

Don't get me wrong but all the dieting and selling this card and hard work for $75k , whats that in euro's ?

Doesn't seem enough

blackbelt1

as he says the custom made suits aint cheap

its dollars hes paid in right?

His sponsership from dethrone must be worth a few quid aswell I heard him say he owns half the right to his documentary so that will sell for big money in america to a channel.

$150K if he wins plus potential Perfomance bonuses. Plus additional PPV payments. plus suite accomodation and food paid for. PLus sponsorship. A couple of months after Ireland.

Brazil on the horizon.

Nice life

That's a harsh point deduction by Herzog.

I thought he was just getting warned. Saying that 2 nut shots so quick is bad.

That_Guy

Terrible stand up. Herzog is having a shocker.

Brasil on the horizon, seriosuly? I'm not a UFC nut so can you give more details?

Possible venue/dates/opponent?

Was pretty sure he'd deduct a point the next time it happened.

Tuck's face looking like a debs dress you'd find in a wheely bin.

Brian Ebersole is always entertaining. Should be a fun fight between himself and John Howard.

Yeah he was apart from his last 2 or 3. Really loved watching him before that.

agree

really like ebersole, fun fighter who's rarely in any trouble, was a breath of fresh air when he came to the ufc with all his antics
I would be amazed if this didnt go the distance

googled eyes

Have to say lads. The more UFC I watch. The more I get hooked.

Looking forward to the Cruz fight.

Been warned by Mrs googled eyes that if I stay up for the whole thing I'm on kiddie duty all day tomorrow.

Should be worth it :eek::pac:

dreamers75

For some odd reason I know a load of people at it

bastids!

That_Guy

Interesting to not take a point from Ebersole.

googled eyes

That spin was great

Rogan is a top top commentator for new viewers to learn from specially when it comes to his passion bjj.

Lenin Skynard

10-9 Ebersole, 10-9 Howard so far in my book.

mailburner

ebersole was 11/4 to win this at the start of the 3rd with ladbrokes
problem was the max they would allow me is 4 euro

That_Guy

Very close fight. Could really go either way.

googled eyes

Think Ebersole won that.

Lenin Skynard

Shame to see that ending up looking like a sparring match.

they are a joke of a bookmakers your worse leaving the account open with max bet 4 they dont want to lay bets and I thought it was only on racing,cowards.

some nice leg kicks from howard there dont think he done enough to win

jodaw

Great fight coming up now. Man i cannot believe this is only prelims

That_Guy

Conor's accent has gotten even more bizarre. I assume the UFC are asking him to put on that accent so people can understand him... At least I hope that's what they've asked him to do.
