Interesting side note, the "Ye" in "Ye olde trip to Jerusalem" is actually pronounced "The" as it is not a Y but stems from an old English letter called the Thorn. The only language that still uses the thorn letter is Icelandic which is obviously why Gunni is in the picture. That's right I have merged QI and MMA!

Interesting tweet from "Big" John McCarthy.

Must be a right crew of us going over on the Friday morning Ryan air flight? I'm on that one too. Staying at the Britannia.

welchy

+1 for the 8am flight. Preceded by a lovely 3am aircoach from Cork.

SevereMMA

Yea we are on that flight too!

I'm in the late flight fri night so will miss weigh ins.

Any plans for beers on the Saturday?

DrPhilG

I'll be at the Fight Club party Friday night, although I don't drink so not sure how long I'll stick around.

Plus I'll be knackered. Driving from Donegal about 3am on Friday morning for the flight.

It was 30 days no contact and 45 before he can fight.

Other bookies have a better price for him than PP. Undercard never have method of victory markets. Paddy power told me they will by the end of the week but I'm not sure.

What other bookies?

William Hill are 4/9

Best to look on oddschecker:

I'm going for Nelson (4/9) and Hardy (1/2) with the double paying 1.66/1

It actually pays better than even money 2.16 I think, throw in Hathaway also

Yes. A 24 euro double will pay 52 euro.

Boyles have Gunni at 2/5

Cheeky €10 on a treble of Gunni, Sass & Kong Watson returns €56.70

I put 10 on the same but threw in Brad Pickett aswell.

Watson has a good price on him. I think it's strange for Johnson to take the fight on short notice against Gunni. He's 4-5 in the UFC on a 2 fight losing streak. This loss might get him cut. Maybe they might keep him around for 1 more since he's taking it on short notice.

Still no method odds up or OTN odds. I hope we get them tomorrow. If so, Gunni is getting money thrown on him for SOTN

I'd be very surprised if Gunni gets sub of the night, but hopefully it works out for you!

I like Watson too.
I don't think they'll do a method price on the undercard. They never do. SotN is rare too. I prob all the requests prove be wrong, but its getting late now.

SBG Ireland

heading to weigh ins now
quick thank you to all the coaches who sent me well wishes. usually opposition but always seem to come together for big shows like this.

Yeah it would be an outside shot with Struve, Sass and Maguire on the card.

I don't think we'll get the odds up anyway.

The 4/9 is gone now, 2/5 is the best around.

Not surprising. Late replacement and the fight was due to take place at a catchweight anyway.

Although 8lbs is a lot!

Stillborn method price, not happening at this stage

What an auto-correct!!!

Lol don't know what the phone was thinking there.

Bet in nelson, hardy and sass.
A single on each and a treble. Sounds likely on paper. Nice return.

so the first fight is on at 9? espn has it on from 9-12 surely that cant be all the fights?!

Facebook prelims start at 8, I think.

your probably right but it doesnt give a time on the ufc site for that. i thought espn might be doing the prelims after the last event., maybe just numbered events now.

it says the doors open at 6.45 so i guess it makes sense for a 8pm start.

Mr. Manager

Starting now - https://www.facebook.com/UFC/app_247211121995467

Holy Sh*t! Quality KO

Took Johnson down early in the first and totally dominated from there. switched between mount and back and finished with the RNC.. Huge performance..

Mr. Manager

BTW, What a fight just there from Watson and Tavares!

Possible FOTN.

El Guapo!

I'm in the middle of moving to a new house today so no UPC and no Internet! Missing this, so ill have to catch it online during the week. Bad timing!
