    Don't worry, it won't go past 2 rounds.

    I agree, but not exactly what I asked.

    As far as I know yes, Diaz agreed to a 5-rounder as he was about two weeks out from competing in an Iron-Man event with Nick and he is in peak shape at the mo.

    really? And there was Conor saying he was the fattest skinny man he'd ever seen and calling him soft around the body like he wasn't in shape :pac:

    I think Conor was referring to how he looked for the RDA fight where he missed weight.

    McGregor win by K/O inside the first round-He's too quick,accurate and slippery for Diaz-that guy looks like he fights in slow motion

    Nate to take a beating for three rounds and fight to be stopped by his corner or the doctor.

    I think Conor will do to Nate what Josh Thomson did, only worse, and earlier. First round ko if Conor wants to.

    Anyone have a link to the long official promo for UFC 196 that aired last night during the fightpass event (the one with all the cursing)?

    Can't seem to find it any of the usual spots!

    That's the one, thanks!

    I know it's not the general clean promos they produce but I'm not sure why they aren't putting it out there as it's probably better than most in-house ones seen. They've already taken down that youtube link!

    I'm looking at ways to watch the fight on Saturday. I don't have BT Sport unfortunately. Does UFC fight pass get all major UFC fight nights/pay per views? I'm considering signing up for it for 6 months if it gets me UFC197 and UFC200.

    Fightpass doesn't get you the PPVs but it will have all other UFC events. You can buy the PPVs on ufc.tv, 197 is there for €20 or €25 in HD.

    Cool, thanks. I bought it in HD for the Mendes and Aldo fights but not sure if it's worth an extra fiver? I presume it's just the definition is a bit better and not the connection or anything like that.

    You'd need a good connection to run it on Hd last thing you want is the buffing every few seconds

    Diaz is in better shape last week than he was for the RDA fight and wasnt finished,I expect him to last 2 or 3 rds.

    Holm and Tate is really flying under the radar. It's such an interesting fight.

    There's hardly a BT equivalent of sky go? Unfortunately don't have BT in the home house where I'll be for the weekend.

    Bring your viewing card with you if there's sky in both?

    I used to do that all the time, but I dont think it works anymore. I think cards are matched up to boxes now.

    You can watch BT sports online once you have a subscription. Don't think there's an app but defiantly a player on BT Website

    There is a BT sport app. I use it quite a bit. Whether it works outside the UK though, I cannot confirm
