Yes I agree with you. If you look back, I said I will always support our own.

But don't be reading in that it is a northern Ireland thing though. People just said that because they think he was not humble and copying Conor.He showed great respect at the end so I think he is humble.

After Pico losing it shows how good Gallagher is!

It is though. Not for everyone. People like you can take someone at their worth regardless of where in the country they're from and I respect that, but believe me for so many people down here you have to be twice as good to get any respect if you are from the north.

The White Feather

Which was more embarrassing? Pico or Punk? :pac:

I am just kidding as I know Pico is only a young guy. Lot of hype and that's a hard thing to live up to.

tinpib

Top notch walk out music from Brent. Sail by Awol Nation.

Gamebred

Chandler via head clean off, I like him because hes not from Northern Ireland btw WAR Chandler

The White Feather

Did you all see Pico twitching after Freeman got up off him? That must have been very tight.

:eek: this looks like it's just a matter of time, Chandler was 1.12.

Gamebred

Holy **** what a way to lose a title.

The White Feather

WTF is with this timeout business???

tinpib

Oh oh, Ref made a total balls of it by the sounds of it. I'm no expert.

tinpib

Lovely slapstick there pulling the stool out from under him :P:pac:

If someone can post that, that would be great.

not really, he rolled it while miles away from him in no danger.

It has loads to do with it. I guarantee that if he was from the south there wouldn't be anything like the ****e talk that was going on about him. The exact same as the other examples I mentioned.

Last time I checked Conor is from Crumlin which is located south of the border and he gets dogs abuse & hate regularly.

The reason people get frustrated with James has precisely 0.00 to do with where he was born and 100.00 to do with him imitating Conor in every way - from his social media, his facial expressions, his dress sense, choice in glasses etc.

Also worth noting last time I checked Dillon Danis is from the East not the North or South...... East of America.... and he gets the exact same criticism on here for the exact same reasons.

scudzilla

hahahaha, too funny, nearly a double ko there

ShaneU

wow that was mad

Gamebred

Crazy double knock down mma is just off the charts for this mad stuff happening

A card full of 'member moments.

Gallagher's brilliant display, Pico being embarrassed in 24 seconds, Chandler falling on his ass and then nearly a double KO.

Could even be more to come.

The White Feather

My stream flickered there and I thought Gracie was tapping for a sec! :pac:

tinpib

Gracie saved by the bell there.

wonderfullife

I think Chael is in for a bad night

Gamebred

I dont think his heart is in it, hard to know where Wandy is at but any sort of ok level I think he wins.

scudzilla

Chael was just trolling Wandy all these years, Wandy genuinely hates Chael so i'm going with a brutal 1st round ko win for wandy

Anthems, do we really need this

I have a feeling the anthems and entrances will be longer than the actual fight

scudzilla

over the top patriotism as usual from our neanderthal brothers across the pond

My thoughts exactly. Just show the fight

tinpib

Pretty exciting first round. Fear for Sonnen though, one punch and he could be out.

tinpib

Sonnen up 2:0 anyway but of course could be Ko'd easily.

wonderfullife

They're both breathing like they've just ran a marathon.

tinpib

Sonnen's head and face are like a magnet for Wanderlei's punches. Has to keep it on the ground.

wonderfullife

Anyone waking up intending to watch the main event, helpful advice - watch the 1st Round (it's half decent). The remainder is 10 minutes of your life you will never get back.

EagererBeaver

I'm from Belfast. I wish Gallagher well and last night clearly a good win for him but think he's a little prick, not because he's from the north, but because he gets on like an absolute moron, for example making title belt gestures after beating a can in his third or fourth pro fight or whatever it was. He's a bellend. He's young with a lot to learn so might turn things around but I don't see it happening to be honest.

ricero

Reckon we will see sonnen fight fedor by the end of the year

To be honest, you're way off the mark there. Guessing you're from the north yourself and massively overcompensating for some perceived slight. But in reality, nobody in this day and age gives a **** where you're from. Some of the best supported "Irish" fighters weren't even born in Ireland.
The issue with James is that his persona has always felt forced. He needs to find his own way imo.



As for the fights, good on Gallagher, I'm delighted for him tbh. SBG shoing once again that they have solid grappling fundamentals, and that Conor is the outlier. Chinzo isn't an elite blackbelt, but he is a blackbelt, and the suggestion that he tapped easy is silly. He's still Brazilian, and no Brazilian is giving up a sub to a purple belt from Ireland without being caught.
As above, James needs to find his own feet, rather than continuing this Conor schtick. Bowing to Machida after the fight was a nice gesture and he needs to do more of that and less of the BS on social media.



As for Aaron Pico. Delighted his opponent choked him out after being brought in to lose. Pico always came across like a cockhead. Great wrestler I'm sure, but a few sessions with Eddie Bravo doesn't mean you're a jiu jitsu pro. Glad he got choked out.

dulux99

A great performance from JG, it can't have gone any better for him in the cage. Outside the cage he still comes across like an odious little twerp. I just can't warm to the guy, I felt a twinge of happiness and national pride when he got the choke and then he gets on the microphone and I go back to being embarrassed for him.

Also lol @ Pitbull challenging JG to a fight in croke park. That fight would barely sell out the bord gais theatre let alone croker

Multiple posters in here were hoping he got battered tonight. Irish fans hoping an irish fighter got battered.

It's typical ****e we always get. Gaa teams from the north, James McClean, Rory mcilroy etc. It's pathetic.

Bullsh1t. It's reflective of their personalities not where they are from. A higher proportion of Irish People would dislike McGregor than McIlroy. Frampton for example is a genuinely sound guy and although not as big a name would not be hated on by irish people.

The fact is Gallagher thus far has acted like a gimp and that's why he's being criticised not because he's from the north.

Edit - covered above already I see.
