    Yes, perfect quality, no ****e

    You only get the main card though, no prelims.

    If you want them you need to sign up to fight pass, first month is free so sure why not

    Yep, there's a fee for more that 2 knockouts of €19, more than 3 submissions €23, and a €1000 fee to see Dana White breakdance to Abbas Money Money Money.

    Multiple times. The only issue will be if your internet isn't great. I've never had even a glitch, plays HD perfectly all the way through. What speed internet do you have? Even if you don't have enough for HD, it should play normally in SD.

    They have a sliding scale of bitrate, so it will try to play at the best available rate you have available via your connection. My advice if you have poor internet would be to change the bitrate on it to try 480p and if it's jumpy or constantly changing, switch to 360p. It won't be perfect quality but it's an absolutely fine stream even at that rate.

    It can be salvaged. Crack them open but only slightly. Leave to defrost. Won't be perfect but will be drinkable.

    MoTD and then it's only a matter of minutes before it all kicks off. Amazing lineup of fights, lets hope the majority live up to the billing. Never seen Aldo fight live. From all the clips and hype he looks unstoppable, but the fact Mendes went 5 rounds with him gives me confidence Conor can do this.

    Glad I stayed up for last night's fights now. About to have the late lunch :D Should be grand for the fight. BT have it scheduled til 7am like last night. Mendes Edgar only started at 6am, could be the same for the big one tonight?

    I'm in the UK and it won't let me purchase the PPV due to it being aired on BT

    Would happily pay the £12.99 or whatever for a perfect stream but won't be able to it seems :mad:

    How the hell do you order this fight??

    I'm on Virgin Media/UPC and I've been looking for details to order for the last hour but nothing concrete. Anyone have a number or something??

    The Mendes fight last night just showed one slip and its over so quick.

    Really hope its not over after a minute tonight. Although if its a conor win I could live with that!

    With Sky you just go to the Setanta website with your viewing number and sign up. The channel is enabled almost immediately. Not sure how it works with UPC

    I'm afraid I'm going to sleep through it now. I'm up at 6 every morning during the week so it should in theory be easy to wake up at 3 or 4. The other option is to try stay awake but that might be hard to do when the beers kick in.

    I think the fight could go either way. If someone is to beat the pound for pound best fighter in MMA who is on a 10 year winning streak it is Conor. They both seem to be in each others heads which makes it interesting.

    Anyway, hope he wins and we have a sold out Croke Park to attend in the spring.

    Just like UFC 189 I'm going to find it hard to appreciate the rest of the card due to bricking it about McGregor in the main event all the way through. In a way I wish there was no Irish interest and the main event was Weidman v Rockhold with a different fight in place of Gunnar v Maia so I could watch the card without really caring about who wins.

    Very nervous now. Ugh.
