    McGregor-Aldo effort there!

    You talking bout the main event in CW? Bit of an anti-climax.

    To be fair to gallagher I don't think its him watching McGregor and thinking ''if i do that then I'll get this.'' Hes in sbg since he was what 15? and conor is someone he clearly looks up to in a big way, unlikely enough you can be in close proximity to someone you idolize like that and not have a good bit of his personality rub off on you! Can get why its annoying alright but at the end of the day hes only a chap, has plenty of time to find his own identity or whatever and make his own mark on it. Like to see Irish guys doing well and looks like a lad with potential, would be nice to see him get a result tonight, biggest fight yet and it'll go a long way to showing where his skill levels actually lie.

    Yeah I think that's natural and something you see repeated often especially going back to secondary school days. There'd always be one personality in the group that you'd end up picking up some of his sayings or dressing similar to him.

    It's usually something people grow out of so I'm hoping it's just a phase for the likes of James and Dillon Danis.

    Mind you, if you look at a lot of Conor's older friends they have changed drastically in the last year or so in terms of copying. They all seem to be wearing the old-man glasses now that Conor likes to wear. And posting gym selfies saying "all day work" on their social media when they're not even fighters....

    Has this started yet? I am watching a stream (legal stream) of Spke and cops is on.

    Yep, I'm using a VPN and there was a link right at the top of the homepage of spike.com I think. Crystal clear which is good.

    It's nice to hear Goldie as well.

    Is that the main arena in Madison Square Garden? At first I thought it wasn't but I think it is.

    edit: I think signing Goldie is huge, will bring in plenty of semi casual viewers like myself. They can become a serious rival to UFC.

    Hope this da Silva chancer loses here after trying to weigh in with one foot half off the scale yesterday.

    Yeah it is nice to hear Goldie back again, he is a big fuarking loss for UFC. UFC need to stop making mess ups or they wont be the number 1 dog anymore

    Using Tunnelbear and when I go to Watch Live it asks me to sign in?

    Any direct link to the Spike stream?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,710 ✭✭✭✭Paully D


    Guest announcers and everything.

    Pretty harmless, but it really takes away from the professionalism of the event.

    Bellator do not do themselves any favours at all.

    Not harmless if they ever hope to be taken seriously as a major combat sports promotion. Based on pretty much everything they do though, I'm sure that isn't their intention. They have some quality fighters but it's a pro-wrestling production just with genuine MMA fights instead.

    is the abominal fight free on Facebook? if so what time,cheers

    Fighting at 44 if you are a legend like Henderson then fair enough, but fighting as a nobody..... seems pointless. He must be getting paid what? at most 2-3k for this fight?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,510 ✭✭✭tinpib


    He also seems to block shots by closing his eyes.

    Sounds like Eddie Alveraz's missus is at it, some woman screeching since the get go.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,121 ✭✭✭The Ayatolla


    So Gallagher has been spouting the usual "done in one" and "choked" spiel.

    3 round snoozefest again then?

    I'm quite patriotic when it comes to Sport, but this lad is a bit of a knob so I really don't know how I feel about rooting for him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,945 ✭✭✭✭scudzilla


    Hope Gallagher gets KO's.....badly, can't stand him

    Bellators own promotion video just called Davis the heavyweight champion, little things like that need to be sorted.

    Heather Hardy - I would ye know!!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,910 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    Let's go Hardy!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,510 ✭✭✭tinpib


    Jeeper's even the only women's fight on the card is a couple of old farts. :pac:

    Aged 35 and 38.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 7,269 ✭✭✭Gamebred


    This is sad, has no place in MSG.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,739 ✭✭✭ASOT


    Hardy is terrible, woeful striking for a boxing champ.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,886 ✭✭✭stephenl15


    This Hardy is not impressive. Nerves?


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Bellator were hoping to push Hardy for her looks, hoping to feed her a few cans..... looks like she cant even beat the cans


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    A man with a record of 4 wins and 5 losses would never get anywhere near MSG everrrrrrrrrrrrr


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,510 ✭✭✭tinpib


    Think Soccermom is gassed here.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 7,269 ✭✭✭Gamebred


    Reckon my 75 year old granny could get signed by Bellator with a knock or 2 down the bingo on her record.

    Pico is 0-0 fighting on ppv tonight, anything is possible with Coker.

    I know but at least someone with 0-0 could potentially be good, someone with 4-5 unless they are fighting top class opponents is probably sh!te.

    Also has Hardy trained any other aspects of MMA other than boxing?


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Does hardy think this is fcuking boxing, she was waiting for a count!!!!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,510 ✭✭✭tinpib


    Heather tried the "Mark Hunt stand there", her own spin on things.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,850 ✭✭✭Depp

    No Rogan barely wants to keep working with the UFC as it is. When Rogan leaves the UFC he will finish with commentating in general according to him and focus more on his podcasts/comedy.
