    Seriously.

    We have beaten Austria away in a proper sport recognised all over the world, and there's a thread in AH about some Mickey Mouse sport made up in the last 20 years that appeals to 20 and 30 somethings because some Irish skanger is good at it?

    God almighty if you have no interest then fair enough but do you really have to come into a thread about it to tell us?? :confused:

    Should be a good fight, McGregor could do with a slice or two of humble pie, he doesn't like cake.

    +1 Tom. Enjoy it, Ive been addicted to this sport for three years now. They are unbelievable athletes, no matter what the haters and snobs spew out.

    Yes you can but I gave up a while back, it was cutting out, reloading, buffering and cutting out again every 2 or 3 minutes. Absolute shambles of a service. If you have a subscription to Eir broadband and a Sky box then go to the Eir website and set it up to get BT1 Sports. It is free and takes 5 minutes and then the UFC comes through on your TV on BT1

    It is bad when the illegal streams are more reliable than the official one.

    Streamarena works great on the PC but I'd try Mobdro on mobile

    Fair play to the guy and everything but I thought he was utterly classless in the aftermath of his victory, cursing like a sailor off the banana boat.

    The guy has no class, he'd want to learn from some of the greats of boxing. A champ holds himself as a champion, not a common street thug.

    It was classless of Dana White not giving him the title as per tradition and not having his second belt. He was rightfully pissed

    You're right and he'd like to take this chance to apologise to ABSO-LUTLEY FUKIN' NOBODY!

    He's better than that.

    A sharp guy, he could have improvised when the second belt wasn't at ringside and not broke off into profanity.

    I don't like this professional wrestling esque fakery about him when he gets on the mic

    Show honour and respect to your opponent Conor. Real men will do that either in defeat or victory. Don't gloat and don't swear, its low rent.

    He had every right to be pissed in fairness, he visualised this moment from day one, that visualisation got him through the hard times and they didn't even have his strap ready when the moment came.

    Indeed he did. Here's an interview with him from 2008 when he was just 19 saying his dream was to be UFC Lightweight Champ.

    So is he going to stay at Lightweight now?

    I'm guessing he will seeing as he has to give up one of the belts.
