    That would have been blind robbery if he had got that.

    A true watershed moment in MMA.

    It's like Tyson being knocked out by Buster Douglas, but times a thousand.

    I have no idea how a guy that slow, with such bad stand up and the weakest take down attempts I've seen in years, managed to get to 4-0 in the UFC.

    If you are that easy to hit, you just have to take them down early, and often. He should just concentrate 100% of his time training with that in mind. He'll never be a striker. Stop trying.

    Bloody hell, this really isn't going to plan so far for us. Hopefully it's not a sign of things to come.

    Wouldn't be suprised to see him get the P45; been criticised after every fight

    He needs to buy the Phil Davis Handbook of Wrestling and Paint Drying.

    Very poor fight.

    Pendred technically was non existent. Clinch, knee, Clinch, knee. Just no ability.

    We just gotta be thankful Conor is on a completely different level. I just hope Chad isn't able to wrestle and hold him for 5 rounds.

    Cathal needs to get himself a day job. A fighter who cannot throw a simple punch is really going to struggle to have a future.

    Im supposed to be asleep, why did I even watch that?!

    There's Dana telling it like it is. Wonder who was involved in setting that fight up?

    I kinda expected Pendred to finally get his first loss anyway. The vibe for mcgregor would probably be better if mcgregor did not have so many teammates/countrymen on the card

    He needs to find another career before he actually gets hurt. Shocking how poor he is at fighting for a guy who's job is to fight.

    We should defend our way of life to an extent that any attempt on it is crushed, so that any adversary will never make such an attempt in the future.

    Debatable. 2 of those decisions were dodgy and the King fight should have been stopped truth be told.

    The only reason Pendred is not cut is because of mcgregor

    In a way I'm happy. Had he won he'd have surely got a strong opponent, and I fear what a fighter with smooth standup, power and half decent TDD would do to him.

    Most people here will think one judge got that very wrong.

    Reddit will think TWO judges got it very wrong! :pac:

    If Pendred is fighting again I'll have to insist he stops with the Irish flag and Irish anthems :o

    The ads were better than Pendred.
