    He tried the same thing in another thread. Just looking for a reaction I reckon.

    Should be another good fight. Silva usually comes out of the blocks like a greyhound. Watch for a quick takedown and possible sub win

    Get off Boards, Erick. You have a fight to prep for.

    Why is he lucky? Diaz would have hit him? Lost his license and all the money in his bank?... Pretty sure they held Nate back for his own sake... You know.. A professional fighter like McGregor could take a punch..... Bankruptcy would hit Diaz much harder.

    McGregor shows very little respect to people by having his fights on so late. I know his Irish fans probably don't care, but I'm surprised the US followers don't complain.

    Tate's a decent wrestler and just because Holm fended off Ronda's throws, she may not stuff Tate's double leg.


    Anyway...
    Placed €50 on Shevchenko by KO/Pts @7/5, and
    €70 on over 1.5 rounds in the main event @evens

    Bit scummy of Silva wanting to touch gloves and then loading up behind it.

    Absolutely. If Conor had respect for his fans he would tell Dana to fight earlier.

    That was well deserved after Silva's cheap move with the glove touch earlier. Brilliant.

    Nah, I can't agree. If you're gonna touch gloves in a show of respect (which happens a lot in MMA) at least stand back, reset and go again. Don't fúcking load up and try land a sucker punch. It's pure dickish.

    Sure mcgregor tried a spinning leg kick after touching gloves. The round started, it's game on.
