what heart by manny there after the beating he took
gotta love lads like that

That_Guy

Herb Dean will be the ref for McGregor's fight.

Read online Conor's new 8 fight contract is 75k/75k. Tonight, Dustin is getting 35k/35k so if he loses Conor still gets paid more. Only fair really seeing how much he's hyping the whole card. MM is making the easiest money of his life tonight between win bonus and PPV money.

I'm a Setanta subscriber but away from home tonight. It's not on Sky Go and I've been searching franticly for other but everything I've found suggests it can't be viewed online

McGregor made for life regardless of title implications or not

That_Guy

How many bollock shots are we gonna have tonight I wonder.

And you can guarantee Dana will have a fat brown envelope waiting for him back stage as well. Conor said as well in his new contract he will be top 2 paid in the UFC when (if) he wins the gold. Said that in a Q&A, that's unreal money if true.

Don't get me wrong but all the dieting and selling this card and hard work for $75k , whats that in euro's ?

Doesn't seem enough

blackbelt1

as he says the custom made suits aint cheap


its dollars hes paid in right?


His sponsership from dethrone must be worth a few quid aswell I heard him say he owns half the right to his documentary so that will sell for big money in america to a channel.

Zero-Cool

Right, 4 ball shots in 2 fights, feck sake man!

That_Guy

Ah heyor.

That_Guy

That's a harsh point deduction by Herzog.

$150K if he wins plus potential Perfomance bonuses. Plus additional PPV payments. plus suite accomodation and food paid for. PLus sponsorship. A couple of months after Ireland.

Brazil on the horizon.

Nice life

I thought he was just getting warned. Saying that 2 nut shots so quick is bad.

That_Guy

Terrible stand up. Herzog is having a shocker.

Brasil on the horizon, seriosuly? I'm not a UFC nut so can you give more details?

Possible venue/dates/opponent?

Was pretty sure he'd deduct a point the next time it happened.

Ufc flying him out to watch aldo / mendez

blackbelt1

thought it was the corners job to put the mouth piece back in? makes sense letting the ref for once

Gotya. Thanks.

Tuck's face looking like a debs dress you'd find in a wheely bin.

Brian Ebersole is always entertaining. Should be a fun fight between himself and John Howard.

Yeah he was apart from his last 2 or 3. Really loved watching him before that.

agree

really like ebersole, fun fighter who's rarely in any trouble, was a breath of fresh air when he came to the ufc with all his antics
I would be amazed if this didnt go the distance

googled eyes

Have to say lads. The more UFC I watch. The more I get hooked.

Looking forward to the Cruz fight.

Been warned by Mrs googled eyes that if I stay up for the whole thing I'm on kiddie duty all day tomorrow.

Should be worth it :eek::pac:

dreamers75

For some odd reason I know a load of people at it

bastids!

That_Guy

Interesting to not take a point from Ebersole.

googled eyes

That spin was great

blackbelt1

Rogan is a top top commentator for new viewers to learn from specially when it comes to his passion bjj.

Lenin Skynard

10-9 Ebersole, 10-9 Howard so far in my book.

mailburner

ebersole was 11/4 to win this at the start of the 3rd with ladbrokes
problem was the max they would allow me is 4 euro

That_Guy

Very close fight. Could really go either way.

googled eyes

Think Ebersole won that.

Lenin Skynard

Shame to see that ending up looking like a sparring match.

they are a joke of a bookmakers your worse leaving the account open with max bet 4 they dont want to lay bets and I thought it was only on racing,cowards.


some nice leg kicks from howard there dont think he done enough to win

jodaw

Great fight coming up now. Man i cannot believe this is only prelims

That_Guy

Conor's accent has gotten even more bizarre. I assume the UFC are asking him to put on that accent so people can understand him... At least I hope that's what they've asked him to do.

He's morphing into Frank Stapleton :pac:

usually ok with my stakes and first time ive seen that with them so maybe
its just with mma live betting

you are right though, they are a poor excuse for a bookie as with a
few more big named ones (esp stan james)


odds at end of rnd 3, more annoyed now that ebersole won
hard call though

I the Dublin documentary you can see him in the taxi putting a pen in his mouth because he reckons it clears the speech. In fairness a rough Crumlin accent would not really cut it for the media commitments.

He is obviously working on speech and using american terms to suit the audience.

Smart move TBH

jodaw

What is it with it with the American crowds that they never show up for prelims? Looks/sounds empty

Is it fashionable or something?

Lenin Skynard

I get the feeling that Thompson is going to land something nice here.

they take it for granted I reckon,so many shows on in the U.S.A miss one you'll get to one in the next few weeks.

blackbelt1

Couldnt hear the corners instructions on the dublin card like you can here thats for sure.

blackbelt1

2 good paid sparring sessions there in a row them last 2 fights.

adamski8

Thompson defo more worried about beong beat than beating cote there. He was there for the finish.

"Thompson let him off the hook" says Joe. Hard to disagree with that, the knockout was in the palm of his hand.
