What are you going to Los Angeles for, Duff?

Only joking, have you ever heard this?

Classic Burr.

Like others I'm struggling to pick a winner so I've put money on McGregor to get a TKO in round 2 and voted for Khabib to win by TKO.

McGregor will want Khabib to take risks to get into range for takedowns and Khabib doesn't really have the tools to get into range with someone like McGregor without taking risks.

Can Khabib take the shots in the way Diaz did to keep the pressure on McGregor and force him back or will he get lit up like Alvarez?

Going to be a fascinating fight both for guys at the peak of their powers and the difference in styles.

Khabib’s chin and ability to take and weather clean strikes, should he get hit clean shots, is the key. If he can take shots I expect him to exert constant forward pressure on Conor, backing Conor up, making Conor commit and commit and defend and defend. I reckon Conor starts really tiring mid rd 3...getting subbed in rd 4.....

I'm ****ing wrecked already, I'd say I'll be setting my alarm for the main card and I have 2 shots of proper twelve left so will have a nice glass for the main event.

As dangerous as I think Khabib is, I can't see him finishing Conor on the ground so it's just a matter of how many shots he can take so i have Conor by TKO by late round 2, early round 3.

Ah if he gets cracked with a counter, and gets wary?

I genuinely think someone is going to get hurt in this fight. Like proper hurt.

Does anyone else think Pettis has no business being in this fight, even accounting for Ferguson's injury?

I'm convinced he's finished and struggling with the weight just makes me think he's gonna have a bad time.

Any chance the mods can put the walk out time into the thread title? It would prevent us having to hear "what time is walkout" for the next 8 hours.

I actually think it's a pick 'em fight. Could see Pettis winning. Tony had surgery 6 months ago. If he attacks that leg it could be a bad night for Tony.

There is no specific walk-out time. It depends how other fights go.

Sorry guys, looking to buy in the fight. Where do I get it? Sky customer, no BT though. Can I just buy the fight? Don't wanna sign up to BT. This possible?

Its on the front page, no room in the title. People of course dont think to read the first page or look at the other threads and will just ask the same question over and over again...

On PC it's garbage, the only browser that works is Internet Explorer. And the stream seems to be quite low res and low bitrate (the times that I tried).

I normally use the Android app and cast to a chromecast.

Football training tomorrow and the rest of the card is poor enough until the co-main so have decided to be sensible and go to bed early. It'll be a cup of tea at 5am for me for the two fights and I'll leave my significant, non-Proper Twelve containing, whiskey collection intact.

See you all on the far side and enjoy the fights.

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000 · 06-10-2018 9:44pm

I love the circus style hype that’s just before a mcgregor fight. Can’t wait, out for a few pints now, big dirty curry then hopefully keep the eyes open until 5! Just hope it’s a good fight.

I've missed watching Tony Ferguson so much, can't wait for his fight and hope his knee is in the condition it needs to be.
Had faith dealt him a different hand he could be UFC lightweight champion now, with his mental strength I don't put it past him rectifying that in the future!

Think Firefox works also from memory? For a company that has control of a lot of major sports content their streaming service is complete dog****!

Anyone know if you need to be connected to your home network to access Eir Sport app that's free for bb only customers?
