Whole card is on fight pass and you can get a week free trial.

Biggest test yet for Gunni here. You'd fancy him to win but I don't think it'll be as easy as the odds suggest. If it goes to the mat you'd strongly fancy him to finish it though. Standup will be interesting as Story has big power.

The neck bridging is a pretty common wrestling warm up. The swords however...

Yeah that was a flawless performance. Looks very explosive.

Axwell

Going with Becks and the TKO here

Cant anyone tell me if fight pass works with chromecast?

Would be tempted to sign up to fight pass, chromecast support would be sweet.

looks like there is going to be a take over by chechnya as well as Ireland

I'm away for the weekend and can't catch the fights.

Has Pendred fought yet?

Axwell

Not yet, 1 more to go before his fight

Cheers! For some reason I thought he was fighting at 5pm. Can you let me know how he does here if you don't mind?

Axwell

Sure no worries..id say he will win on points as long as he can avoid getting tko'd early and get himself into second gear as hes always a bit slow to start.

John_D80

Troeng has a lot to do here if he wants to stay in the UFC.

Zero-Cool

Finally getting to sit down and watch this before having to head off and just in time for Cathal. Cmon Pendred!!!

As Hardy mentioned, he didn't do much else other than look for the take down.

Cathal up next.

Axwell

He was never going to win without changing his gameplan between rounds, too predictable and he just got picked off.

Pendred up next!

CurryFlavoured

Tor will be cut now surely.

Zero-Cool

Nice moves :pac:

Absolutely. He should have changed it up early on. He was a on hiding to nothing against such a slick TDD like that dude had.

Axwell

He could have combined those moves with some capoeira and he would be laughin!

John_D80

Has to be said, you'd be forgiven for thinking Cathal and Umalatov could be related if you saw them from a distance.

adamski8

Signed up for fightpass for a trial for this fight. I see though bt sports have a short programme on later and not sure if it will include this fight.

I like the look back on previous fights and they got rid of the spoilers which was good from Facebook days.

John_D80

Pendred is massive for 170. I know it's been said thousands of times before but it never fails to amaze me.

Glock Lesnar

Pendred should move away from this junior cup rucking gameplan.

Cathal did enough to win the first round there, but he's getting caught way too easily. His punches are very wide. Needs to be careful.

El Guapo!

Pendreds strikes are very slow. He winds up from a mile away.

Very sloppy. That left hook seemed to take an age to finish.

Glock Lesnar

His movement is improving but his kicking is glacial and there's no pop in his punches, he's young and athletic though so there's plenty of potential there.

Telegraphing everything.

John_D80

Did enough to win the first round I feel.

CurryFlavoured

Close round. Maybe Cathal sneaks it for controlling for a while, Umalatov much better standing up though.

Glock Lesnar

McGregor just doesn't knock them out he picks the round, Pendred just doesn't throw a punch he tells his opponent it's coming a week in advance.

johnpro

Travelling and can't watch it on the phone....any detailed commentary would be greatly appreciated!!!

CurryFlavoured

Cathal's just so predictable.

pedro1234

MMAJunkie gave round 1 to Cathal as well.

Axwell

Sloppy by Pendred. Gave away that round and needs to win the last, its got to be 1-1 now. Didnt take any attention to what his corner told him to do and persisted with the telegraphed punches and trying to get the takedown. Needs to get a few takedowns in here to secure the round or land a few headkicks. If he sticks at it the way he is he will be in trouble.

Try mma junkie then, round by round description

Glock Lesnar

Pendred could do with 6 months in a boxing club, his movement looked better at the beginning of the match when he was fresh but now he's tired it's gone to flat footed ****e, it needs to become second nature.

19-19 though.

CurryFlavoured

1 round apiece you'd think.
