General UFC Chit Chat/News

dave1982

Jones is probably one of the few that are naturally talented and one the few that stood up to the UFC. It's gonna be interesting to see how Dana reacts to this interview, he said some bad stuff bout the vitor fight

Man that was a great interview! DC is gonna get an awful spanking.

He was very polished but I felt like when he was talking about DC he was doing it naturally and off the cuff.

Some of the "I've really grown" and "learned so much" stuff just didn't seem to be natural and almost saying it just to just say.

Looks like Henricks staying at 170.
I thought Dana said it wouldn't happen??

Henricks vs Woodley is still a fight I want to see

Hendricks was also offered the Gastulum fight but the timing didn't suit

Ken Shamrock

Anyone have any idea how I can watch the Mendes/Edgar fight? Also on the UFC website It says It's on December 12th But I was sure It was the night before Aldo/McGregor?

On TV/stream/fight pass? If you're looking at the UK UFC website then its at like 3am on the 12th

3am on the 12th Is Aldo/McGregor, I'm wondering about the Mendes/Edgar fight which Isn't on TV as far as I know?

3am on the 12th is Saturday morning which is Edgar/Mendes. 3am on the 13th is Sunday morning which is Aldo/McGregor.

Lucas Hood

When McGregor is fighting it'll be the 13th over here.

Here's the Edgar mendes event.

Thanks lads. Is this the only way to watch the fight? It's great for 8 quid but I would prefer to watch It on the tele as opposed to my laptop.

Can't get It to work on my TV, It's cool I'll just bring the laptop around to a friends or something. Wonder why It's not on BT?

Pendred has just retired from MMA on twitter.

stephenl15

Wow Pendred. Top bloke much respect.

Gamebred

reached his potential so the right call imo, n mma making it to the ufc is something most fighters can only dream about so having 4 or 5 fights and winning some (controversially) fair play to him not the most stylish but great heart good luck to him.

martyos121

The GOAT goes out at the top of his game! :pac:

Much respect though, he clearly lost his passion for the sport and decided he'd rather switch career while he's young and healthy. He has a degree as well so he might want to go into a job in his field.

Gamebred

He is opening up a franchise of the healthy cafe type thing called chopped.

MartyMcFly84

I wish him all the best with his next chapter.

DrPhilG

Fair play to him. Not too many fighters can see clearly that they're not good enough. And with the amount of punishment he takes in fights, this is the best thing to do.

EuskalHerria

Well I hope you're all very proud of yourselves....

martyos121

At least we don't have to listen to Rogan call him Cahawl anymore.

Dtp1979

Jaysus he wasn't that bad. A year off and train in a boxing club would do him no harm

Lukker-

If your hearts not in it anymore then there is no point trying to improve.

I wish him the best of luck. I hope internet trolls had no influence on his decision.

Devastator

If his heart/head isn't in it he's not going to get any better, which lets be honest, he really needed to in some areas. He's quite young though, he could make a comeback at some point if he finds a renewed love for the sport.

Best of Luck Cathal! Will never forget your epic win in Dublin last year

After all his CM Punk antics, it was nice of CM to acknowledge his decision

I don't know too much about SM Punk, but he appears quite petty and self centred on social media. I don't think he offer any Cathal any sort of respect, but hopefully he doesn't say anything stupid.

He literally just retweeted Cathal's tweet with the caption "respect".


From anything I've seen of the guy on social media or in interviews he comes across as a really likeable person. No idea where you're getting your view from other than when Cathal decided to have a go at him and he played the "I'm rich, who the feck are you" card, which was deserved in fairness.

Well that's me surprised.

As for where I got that view, ther was some psot a while back on here with some snips from his twitter feed. CM Punk losing his chit with people over tiny stuff. Nothing to do with Cathal or any fighter. He jsut stuck me as incredibly think skinned at the time.

But I don't really pay him a whole lot of attention

ASOT

Two year suspension for CroCop

Can anyone recommend some good MMA podcasts?

Petermc83

SevereMMA & MMA Beat would be my favourites.

Brendan Schaub has one and also Joe Rogan.... but theres not enough time in the day to listen to them all.

jimmii

Fighter and the Kid is the Schaub one well worth a listen. MMA hour obviously another that is worth a listen to.

Subcomandante Marcos

The fighter and the kid isn't really a fight podcast like mma hour, it's a general entertainment thing with a bit of fight talk. Same with JRE. Both are interesting though and I'm subscribed to both.

Saipanne

The Fighter and the Kid video of them watching McGregor Mendes is very funny.

Pretty sure that was Joe Rogans Fight Companion; Callen and Schuab there all the same

MMA Beat, Luke Thomas live chat (both on mmafighting https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4f1JueVgo5t9HSmobCRPug) and 5 Rounds with Robin Black (thefightnetwork https://www.youtube.com/user/TheFightNetwork/videos) would be my favourites.

Joe Rogan Experience and Schaubs Fight and the Kid podcasts can be good but I wouldn't bother with them if you're looking for just MMA stuff.

Lukker-

If you go on the MMA sub-reddit most decent clips from JRE about MMA get posted there. (along with other podcasts)

dulux99

I've tried most MMA podcasts by now, but The Co-Main Event Podcast is by far the best, Ben Fowlkes from MMAJunkie and Chad Dundas from bleacher report. Two excellent talkers and extremely funny, highly recommended

I like Larry pepe, promma radio. I think prob one of most honest presenter. Not afraid to bash Dana. Really went off cro cop thing and Dana covering up vitors testosterone levels for the Jones fight.

Not sure if he even has ufc credentials he's never at pressers

Hoki

No love for the Anik & Florian podcast? That's my new favourite- think mma hour but way shorter. Fighter & Kid is ok but barely any mma talk on it anymore. Rogans isn't really an mma podcast either except when he has a fighter on as a guest. Severe Mma podcast is pretty good as well- only started listening to it a month ago but I'm enjoying it.
