    I assume he ment the amount of accurate punches thrown where as mendes just hits big powerful shots.

    No he said Mendes is the hardest hitter in the division.

    Next sentence he says conor hits as hard.

    It makes no sense let alone the overwhelming opponents comment.

    Ok, didn't see the "as" thought he just said Connor hits hard. Previous threads were locked for this kind of bickering so lets not have this happen again.

    I'm not bickering just giving my opinion about something someone quoted which makes no sense which usually is the cause of threads been locked.

    Anyway we'll leave it there.

    I have been a fan of Aldo but some of the stuff coming out of that camp in the last few weeks has been shady

    I said it at the time that a team/fighter with nothing to hide wouldn't act the way Andre Pederneiras did. He's incredibly stupid when it comes to the media. But he could be running a dodgy shop too.

    Edit: weird it seems the video isnt working :/ Was there a second ago.
    Embedded number three.


    I have always liked Mendes. He seems like a very down to earth kind of guy and I like his fighting style and is a true warrior. I hope Conor wins but to be honest with this fight as long as the fight is a good/entertaining fight I wouldn't be heartbroken if Mendes won either.

    Someone posted a link on one of the previous threads with a link to BT doing a special offer, 5euros for the night I think? If anyone could throw up the link again that'd be sound. Don't fancy paying 42 quid for this.

    It's 21:99 per month and minimum sub is 2 months. I haven't a big enough monitor to watch it on the PC so I need BT sports.

    Do you have an xbox hooked up to tv at all or anything? If so you can use the app.

    Does anyone know if the HD is 1080 or 720? This is the first time I'll pay for a fight because I had BT before and was using dodgy streams after that for years. Don't want to risk this fight crapping out on me due to a dodgy stream :o I'll buy the fight in HD for sure, I can see it being money well spent.

    Go to setanta: http://www.setanta.com/ie/subscribe-flat/index.html

    Enter Promo code: five

    It seems to be working for some and not for others. Seemed to work for me there as I tried it.
    Try it and see if it works before purchase so nothing to lose.

    Nothing we haven't seen before, but great little promo vid by the UFC. That interview Conor did in 2008 has turned out to be gold. You can't fault his self-belief and work ethic, incredible really the amount of work he's put in to get where he is.
