    Massive odds to be fair, just had a treble of nate, JDS by KO & Lentz @12/1

    Nate had the good fortune of not having to make weight in that fight, missed weight by nearly 5 lbs while RDA made weight. Diaz has lost 3 of his last 4 while Johnson has won 4 of his last 5 with his only loss being a highly controversial split decision loss to Dariush. I see Johnson using his movement to get in and out with ease and his far superior wrestling will keep the fight standing imo.

    Is the seating tightly monitoried? Or would you be able to get up very close to the octagon during these early prelims if the venue was half empty
    At 189 in July. I went down and sat in the premium seats for Seerys fight, wasn't an issue at all.

    How do you know this, show me somewhere it says it's defiantly not going ahead or else shut up.

    The UFC wouldn't have announced it if they thought it wouldn't be legalised in time
    Well they haven't announced it. Is that proof enough for you?
    They haven't announced any events past London in Feb.

    It may or may not. It hasn't been lifted an of the previous years.
    But lots of bribes were exposed this year.

    Just in relation to this quickly, and not to have the will it/won't it debate rage on too long.

    This time last year when there was talk of Croke Park, wasn't it established residents do not need to be consulted. Croke Park don't need to secure licences for sporting events in the same manner as concerts etc. That's my recollection of the discussion anyway.
    The issue isn't resident consultation. The residents and no actual power really, the just appeal to the council.

    The issue with an event to suit US PPV is that there is a planning permission condition that states the stadiums aren't open past 10pm.

    I didn't hear about that, any good links to the story? I remember reading some stuff about the whole process before and how the main objections/objecters had little to do with mma itself

    Bet 365, going to change the nate pick to nate to get a finish. Don't think he will be able to out point Johnson if he does win. No MOV up yet though

    Sheldon Silver, speaker for the assembly, was blamed for the delays in passing the bill. He's been a massive opponent of MMA in NY for years. Basically he delayed the bill, so that it didn't go to the final vote.

    He's been arrested (jan or feb) and convict (last month) on MAJOR corruption charges. This could be the year to get it through. Depends a lot on the new speaker

    The push for it this year is coming just as the legislation period opens too, rather than leaving it to the last minute like every other year. If it does go through this year they are as well give up.

    Demian Maia to train at Mjolnir with Gunnar according to this Icelandic source. How cool is that?

    Page needs to be translated.

    Just noticed the UFC ppv (online) price has gone up for the start of 2016. Think it was around the €18/19 mark for HD but now set at €24.99 for UFC 195. Really hope the prices don't end up too crazy like the US as I'm more a casual customer for interesting cards and not a sky customer.

    Yeah, I know that is an option, but I always preferred the no contract fuss. With all the recent hype, I guess this increase was to be expected.

    You can do better than that though. Ring them up and tell them you want the channels but won't pay full price for them. You should get on the €16.99 deal worst case scenario and I'm on that deal with no contract. Worth a go.

    Well Merry Christmas then! :)

    Be smart about it though, don't appear too eager to get the channels or they have leverage. Let them know you're interested, but that you want a reduction. Haven't paid full price with Setanta for the last year now.

    If you get no discount from them (unlikely), hang up and ring again an hour later. If you recognise the voice, rinse and repeat. Those channels are great but not worth €25.

    I got the 2 months for €26 deal there in late November so I'm good until the end of January but I'll give it a try after that. Cheers mister.

    You're in a great position then. Tell them to keep you on that deal or you'll cancel. They seem to keep a record of what every person will pay for the service, so unless you get a complete geebag on the phone, you shouldn't ever pay more than 75% for the channels. Cant guarantee they'll keep you on that deal but I can assure you that €16.99 is the absolute most you'll pay until Eir complete the takeover of Setanta (still not sure what will happen then) if you ask them for a discount.

    Anyways, to keep the thread on topic, any news on that altercation between Johnson and the Diaz camp last night? What was that all about?

    Northcutt vs. Holbrook added to the Dillashaw vs Cruz card, according to Helwani.

    Should be a cracker, both undefeated too. That fight will be very BJJ-heavy I'd say.
