    It's become something of a running joke on MMA forums to refer to Pendred as the GOAT. Even Ariel Helwani was in on it at one stage, tweeting that Pendred was replacing Marquardt against Gastelum in the co-main event an upcoming event.

    Clicked the link and this is the first thing that greeted me. Brilliant.

    "This has to be a joke..Kelvin will maul Pendred all the way to a decision loss"

    From the TV listings, it looks as though the Faber Edgar fight won't be shown live on Saturday (it's meant to be on at 4pm our time).

    Anyone know whether this is true as it seems that BT Sport aren't showing it until 10pm

    Hopefully it's live on the fight pass. Does anyone know if it will be?

    Hope they push on announcing fights for the Glasgow card. Gonna head over regardless but would love to see Neil Seery and Bisping on it.

    I'd expect to see Brendan Loughnane on the card, he's an excellent LW prospect who was on the tuf smashes series but lost a close split decision to Mike Wilkinson in the finale. He's been on a bit of a tear domestically since, I'm surprised he's not in the ufc since.

    I don't know if they'll sign anyone for the card, as they have so many UK and Irish fighters that don't have fights at the minute.

    Aswell as that, I feel sorry for any fighter coming into lightweight. The division is just full of killers.

    Not sure if it includes the main event. I signed up for free trial there, went to cancel and it gave a graphic saying "wait, do you really want to miss out on these....." - listed the fight but with "prelims" beside it!

    Looks like we don't get the prelims at all - can watch the early prelims on fightpass and BT Sports are only showing the main card.

    First time in a long time that I can remember a card being on close to midnight.

    I think I remember him. Wasn't he only like 18 or 19 in the TUF house?

    I actually think the fights start off pretty interestingly, as there is no where to run at the start.. but then as soon as the first person gets eliminated it becomes a one-sided beatdown and uncomfortable to watch. I'd be interested to see a kickboxing version

    I saw that yesterday, watched about 5 seconds of the middle of it, 2 guys lashing into 1 and I turned it off. F*ck that sh*t.
