This is possibly the strangest argument-ish I've ever been involved with on Boards. :pac:

Hey That_Guy, no it's not an argument, if you go back and look at post #183 and #184 I found it funny that the two of us took essentially the exact opposite view from a huge budget UFC ad.

At least that's what I think that's what it was?

Well Mister, I don't see it as a joke, it's gravely offensive, and this entire thread should be shut down because of my hyper-sensitive nature after too many piss-water cans.

Is anyone else's broadcast very echo-y?

Enjoying this first round, really going at it, especially when standing up.

You've got to take into account what time it is over there. About 11:20am

They seem to space out the 'ring side' seats pitch side as it were, very curious to get the figures alright.

Not a great fight.

Rogan just compared the atmosphere to a TUF taping.

If they had the card start at 5pm local time, they'd be raucous I'm sure. So early, people may think it's too early to start supping on beer with a full day ahead of them.

It's not like the fights have been truly awful.

Are they....sitting on plastic lawn chairs?

So that would be 10pm local time Saturday night in Las Vegas for early prelims?

Main event kicking off at stupid o'clock in Vegas.

I agree that does sound beautiful alright.

But looks like they want the main card kicking off at usual time in vegas?

I'm sure they thought of it and this time seems best?

That_Guy

Hook from hell. So clean. Beautiful KO.

seanhynes

Football league managers all sit on picnic chairs on the sidelines too its a craze there haha

I'd love those bastards to have to suffer one card as late as we do every weekend. :pac:

If I see one more person on my Twitter timeline living in the EST timezone complaining about having to stay up until after midnight when a card is dragging out then I'll smash my laptop. :pac:

Depp

Holm via Submission

crowd looks very impressive on the panned out shots to be fair

That_Guy

Villante says he's not happy with his performance. I can't wait to see him when he's actually good...

he has such potential is the worst part he can be very frustrating at times

Henderson v Masvidal is a much better fight in my opinion.

Take that anger and organise your own MMA event at an irish stadium. i'll happily eat my hat.

All joking aside, my main reason for watching UFC is I'm nearer that timezone.

Love reading all the regulars posting in here on UFC threads on a Saturday night Sunday morning, defiantly[not mis-spelled definitely] avoiding sleep with the light sHimmering in through the curtains at 6am just before their baby starts crying on a Sunday morning.

They are made of stern stuff.
