    I don't see the fight going well for Gunni sadly. Thatch is too strong to takedown and his standup is scary.

    On the plus side a much smaller Benson Henderson eventually managed to take him down and he submitted him pretty easily once down there.

    If I buy the fight on ufc.tv is it guaranteed to be perfect stream quality? I don't have BT sport and I don't want to risk a dodgy stream. Will the official UFC feed definitely play properly?

    True, but he needed Thatch to be tired after 3.5 rounds to get him down. Despite the size, I'd say Bendo is as strong if not stronger a wrestler than Gunni, while being sharper on the feet. If he can take him down I'll have all the confidence in the world that he'll sub him, but I think he'll have to survive long enough for Thatch to tire.

    Thatch would look big at middleweight. These new ped bans/iv bans might push him up methinks.

    If you have BT why would you order online?

    UFC.TV stream is perfect quality and won't stop, as long as your internet is speed is fast enough.77

    EDIT: Sorry, misread your post. Provided your internet speed is 10mb+ (just to be safe) then you should be absolutely fine with ordering from UFC.TV. Quality is excellent also.

    Wouldn't put money near a guy who is 4-0 in the UFC (method of victories aside) and is fighting a fighter on the decline with thousands of Irish supporting him?

    I'd genuinely like to hear why you would write him off so emphatically.

    The hill wouldnt be open, afair the total capacity is capped so you could only have pitch level seating up to the capacity of the hill (about 13000)
