    The schedule is only a guideline as what the UFC expect to stick to nothing set in stone about it, If circumstances change venues,fights etc. not falling into place they'll find an alternative.

    They dont change it alot though afaik, i would imagine it'll be either the 23rd or some time in june..

    It's gonna be foo fighters date isn't it:(

    I very much doubt it'll be the 30th, there's Leinster football quarter finals on the 31st so very unlikely a UFC will take place the day before.

    That would leave only the 16th and 23rd for it to happen in May.

    You will find most here aren't really bothered.. He's a world class athlete that is going to be responsible for bringing the UFC to Dublin for the biggest show of all time.. His accent is a small price to pay

    No, nobody has mentioned that. I doubt anybody even noticed until you said it just there!

    This year is the first time they've released their intended year long schedule to the public they can and most likely will alter it at points.

    Humans 'subsconsciously mimic other accents'

    I came across this while defending my own disgusting Belfast/Dublin hybrid accent :)

    yeah its incredibly annoying. Chronological makes sense day/month/year

    I remember trying to lodge an american cheque once and the bank here would not accept it as it was "past date" or had an invalid date cant remember which.

    The say January 18th, not 18th of January.

    Anyone seen the show fox sports had on last night called Fighters Cut about Conor? Ariel said it's well worth a watch but can't find it online, will have to keep a lookout.

    It's being repeated a fair bit in the coming weeks/months.

    Its clips like this one of him talking about his UFC fights...Missed the first part of it but I remember him talking about the Brandao fight saying he said he wasn't touching gloves at the start. He said people were giving about about the spinning kick to the body but he said he wasn't touching gloves and was just using his hand as a range finder. Pretty funny in all though :o

    Its very clear in the Brandao fight that Brandao offers to touch gloves and Conor makes it clear he wont and Brandao acknowledged it.

    (Slight aside, our way of doing dates makes more sense than the americans, but neither is as good as the Japanese who do it Year/Month/Day.... this allows you to sort chronologically when you sort alphabetically </nerd> )

    I used to think that too but its for the americans realy. They had to use subtitles on Mike bisping in TUF. I remember one time Christian bale was doing interviews in an American accent for the dark knight. He mentioned that it was just easier than his welsh accent. It's no big deal realy, if he's in buskers on Saturday night and putting it on then YES that's cringy!

    The fact that he's in Buskers?

    I was just picking anywhere in Dublin, ok temple bar, reynards, lillies, krystle or whatever. I just mean if the accent stays when it's not needed.

    clear enough?

    NFC conference championship in the NFL on Sunday night on fox, it will draw a massive crowd so they want McGregor fighting after it.
