UFC Fight Night 53 - Nelson vs Story

That_Guy

Dreadful fight this.

Axwell

Hopefully a nice sub finish from Cedenblad here!

That_Guy

Really enjoying Dan Hardy and John Gooden. Really coming into their own. Friedlander is a great hype man also.

califano

Good oul fare these prelims!

Still pleased to see Pendred keep the flame lit. Hes such a good ambassador for the sport in Ireland.

Neil Seery is a much better ambassador for the sport in Ireland.

I actually wouldn't put Cathal in that ambassador category at all.

Must say its beautiful watching UFC at a reasonable hour and not having to rely on the good lads at Nespresso.. really looking forward to the Holloway fight

Exciting looking main card.

Excited to see what Backstrom looks like, he's had a lot of hype. Holloway to finish Akira easily standing up. God knows how Corassani gets all these big fights.

Have that backstrom. The eejit just walked in with absolutely no respect for Wilkinsons game in the slightest. he asked for that the fool

Gumbi

What was he complaining about? He was knocked the **** out cleanly.

ps3man

Some knockout but Wilkinson has come across as a tosspot

csallmighty

Lovely punch didn't have to travel far he walked straight into it.

What is Backstrom upset about lol

Axwell

Backstrom talked a lot of crap before the fight to be fair and didn't give Wilkinson the respect he deserved so I don't feel too sorry for him.

CurryFlavoured

Backstrom is a mouth so I was happy to see him beaten. He even tried to get a word in after when Wilkinson was being interviewed. Mike doesn't seem likeable either but he must feel on top of the world silencing that crowd and his mouthy opponent.

No hes not. Hes a great guy but not very articulate and pretty much unheard in the media compared to Pendred. he s probably a great ambassador in his club and amongst those who know him.

Ah I dunno about that. Backstrom was talking down to him all week and I don't even think Wilkinson could believe what had just happened.

Heat of the moment stuff.

Axwell

Cmon Latifi, the man with the hurl!!

How to win an Irish Crowd 101. Walk out with a hurl. Guaranteed results..

csallmighty

What a beast. Another 1st round ko I hope

That_Guy

Huge body shot. Felt it from here.

John_D80

Ouch. Bad night so far for the local talent. And now they're relying on Akira to avoid total humiliation.

TimRiggins

Now there is a win half the country will be proud of.

peteeeed

Bloody hell the swedes are having a bad night of it so far

TimRiggins

Peter Foresberg? No Way!

Agree, it's what was annoying most when mcgregor beat him easily , nobody gave him any credit , improving all the time and only 22

ps3man

Corassani looking for a TKO with his walk out music.. Boring as F**K

mailburner

want max to win almost as much as cathal

mailburner

enjoyed that very much

another huge compliment paid to mc gregor

peteeeed

Boom , but of a late stoppage but happened very quickly

raze_them_all_

late stoppage, he was out once he dropped and took a good 6-8 extra punches

ps3man

Not the same Holloway that McGregor fought last year.. beast

mc gregor simply the beast, max the only man to go the distance with conor

CurryFlavoured

Holloway's great and I can't stand Akira. Happy days.

CurryFlavoured

People forget that Holloway very nearly beat Bermudez and was beating Poirier in the standup. He's a massive prospect.

nzamcdza

Boom! See ya! Hahaha
