    Hey guys looking for a bit of advice here, how is the quality of streaming if you purchase the event,

    i read reports about poor quality before, also i saw some of the stream of the last mcgregor fight from ufc.com and it was a bit jittery especially on the fast movements, would it be better to watch through the xbox app or pc, opinions please,

    also i see youtube are also selling it but only SD from what the rep told me but would their servers be better for viewing?

    Anyone else think Ido Portal is a spoofer? When exactly is McGregor going effectively use them sideways rolls to his advantage? Can only see him getting hit trying to pull off that stuff.

    He's inevitably going to lose at some point, whether that be tonight or in the future. His trash talk has increased his earnings ten fold. He won't care about the huge backlash he'll receive when he does lose.

    I'll be staying well away from here if he loses. The amount of begrudgers coming out of the woodwork will be incredible, as well as the usual Daves here, Darced, Subcomodante Marcos etc. who have been waiting years for him to lose.

    Conor has achieved the impossible...He's a legend regardless of tonight

    Exactly what he has achieved in 2 and a half years is unbelievable.

    Yeah you had to lol at all the guys getting a picture as he came out yesterday with the haircut and beard! Bet they have the McGregor Reebok gear at home.

    Sure McGregor's look isn't even original.

    It's about loosening up targeting different muscles. That guerilla walk he does low down to the ground is actually hard you feel it, ditto for hand stands, L-sits, any kind of holds or balancing you are training the muscles and stretching. I don't know why lots of ye don't get that this is supplementary and also an element of what Ido is doing is used by personal trainers and cross fit trainers. Next thing people will say GSP is silly for doing back flips and gymnastics, sure what does that have to do with the body ffs :rolleyes:

    So all is he is strength and fitness coach is essentially what you're saying. This 'movement' lark, I'm not convinced by it being any way effectively applicable in a fight.

    Doubt it, I can really see both going for the KO.

    I see an early TKO or even KO for Aldo in the first round maybe early in second.

    I am no expert and can be rather pessimistic so prob talking through my arse. Would like to see Conor win but....

    I often do this, its silly but have a go:

    Close your eyes and visualise looking at pics of the fight tomorrow morning. Try to visualise Aldo celebrating as the ref ends it and then try to visualise the same with Conor.

    Also visualise the belt being placed around each player.

    Which feels right, which do you feel will happen (not want to happen)




    *yep, I'm hung over and only just outta bed so bare with me

    Could easily happen if Conor lets his guard down.

    This pretty much. Give it 15 minutes and then restart the box and it should be there.

    They seemed to be doing a lot of hand eye coordination as well. Balance is important obv.

    Come'ere lads what's the story if it goes 12 rounds and is called a draw, Does Conor get to keep his WBC belt and Aldo keeps the IBF and WBA belts...?

    Oh and one last question, What corner is Conor sent to if Aldo gets a standing count:D


    PS,

    I think Conor's movement and angles will be to much for Aldo.

    Nonsense, the UFC stream is always perfect, never a problem with it, a lot of the lads on here watch it that way including myself and there's never a lag or dodgy moments, they even have different picture quality streaming if your internet can't manage a full HD stream, if there's a problem with the stream it will be at your end due to your ISP, not the UFC.

    I just think McGregor is too damn big for anyone in this division, add to the fact he most definitely hits harder has the better range and arguably has the better all round technique.....a good biggun beats a good littleun hands down....be more interesting when he moves up

    Since when is Aldo just a "good littleun"? Aldo is the best current active fighter yet he's only a "good littleun"? And Aldo is only 2 inches smaller, not a massive amount at all.

    Hi lads sorry if this is in wrong thread , just bought the fight on ufc TV (18e) do I get the prelims on that ? I would have assumed so but when I'm back on main page it says something about ufc 194 prelims for 7.99 or something.

    You get the prelims but the first 3 fights (early prelims) are fightpass exclusive.

    I don't think you do get the prelims! I think PPV is just the main card. The prelims are on fight pass. You can sign up for a 7 day free trial fight pass.

    Where'd you buy it?

    Bt Sports 2 has the Prelims from 1am-3am.

    The early prelims from 12-1am are fight pass exclusive.
