Can you get the live ppvs?

No. They are initially exclusive to BT Sports here. After a week or so they are generally available in the back catalogue. If you don't have BT Sports, see if any family or friends have Eir, if they do, they might let you borrow their login details, and you could use the Eir Sports app to watch main events

He's a joke, clearly doesn't give a **** about his career any more.

I remember reading a good analogy for guys who consistently miss weight, even after moving up a weight class.

Something like this: "Imagine a guy in 50 grand's worth of debt wins the Euro Millions. He now has 50 million. He couldn't possibly make the same blunders now, surely? Well, no, lotto winners can and do go broke because the issue was never the amount, the issue was how they manage their money".

I think it's a good one to apply to Hendricks. For a long time it applied to Rumble too. A lot of people forget this but when Rumble moved from 170lbs to 185lbs, his very first fight at middleweight was against Vitor and he weighed in 11lbs over at 197lbs. John Lineker was very similar. Always missing weight at 125lbs then he moves up and still misses weight.

You'd have to imagine if Hendricks loses tomorrow, he'll be off to Bellator.

Also I saw Jeff Novitzky (head of USADA program at UFC) is threatening to stop the UFC going back to Texas if they don't publicly issue a redaction and apology to Cortney Casey. She failed the test at UFC 211 but has been cleared by 2 different labs on her B-sample and still the Texas Commission are refusing to publicly clear her name.

Legal action being threatened all around.

Saw this tweet about Hendricks missing weight and it made me :eek:

Is she cleared at least? In the sense did she get a ban or anything?

She was cleared by the UFC doping chief but the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation says her case is still "under review"and they had suspended her for 90 days, and ordered her to pay a fine between $2,000 and $5,000.

A lot of people also forget that he was forced to rehydrate by the doctor before weigh-in. He didn't just come in 11lbs over.

The issue with Hendricks is he is just can't cut weight. Whether he's cutting 10 lbs or 20 lbs. He undershoots everytime. Aims to just scrape under the weight, and inevitably falls short.

No wonder his restaurant went out of business probably had the deliveries rerouted to the house.

So apparently there's a guy on the way over to TAM to challenge Cody Garbrandt to a fight. He has been at him for a long time now on social media.

Check out his timeline, he is clearly off his head. He also challenged Mark Hunt last year:

The scary thing is that these type of people are obviously not right in the head and could easily pull a gun or something.

Easy for me to say, but he'd be so much better off not even acknowledging these people online.

Tinie

Apparently TAM found him hiding in a starbucks and the guy ran to his car and drove the wrong way down a one way street. Reddit has all the info and livestreams.

Kirby

The whole thing reeks of unprofessionalism. Can't say I expect more from TAM. A bunch of dudebro's more than a gym. It's sort of pathetic tbh.

Axwell

Lads theres a sticky at the top linking to sn AMA with John Kavanagh for those that are interested

Have you not heard of Charlie Zelenoff? He does the same thing in boxing, asks people to do some light sparring and then beats the **** out of them, challenged floyd mayweather sr and ended up getting attacked by Adrien Broker for going too hard. The bloody nutcase did the same to deontay wilder ffs, easily could have done himself serious damage. Take a look at him in YouTube the guy is fúcking mental.

Double post... again..

xtal191

Theres actually something wrong with that Zelenoff fella though, that bodybuilder is just an attention seeking twat.

Outlaw Pete

Not sure where to post this. Worth a watch.

Any good takes from Kavanagh and Gallagher on yesterday's MMA Hour? I missed it and won't get a chance to listen until the end of the week.

decent interview, heading out in 2 weeks, we should be surprised about who he is bringing in.

funny when he was asked if the coaches will face off he said
"Coaches should be quite and in the background out of the limelight"

He's right as some of the boxing press conferences are just out and out boring. the fighters only speak for a bit but the promoters, coaches, randomers, all get to speak. They're just short of putting up some powerpoint slides and talking about synergy :pac:

Megan Anderson has pulled out of a fight with Cyborg citing 'personal issues'.

Tonya Evinger has stepped up and accepted the fight.

Over/Under on 1 week until she pulls out citing her dog ate her homework?
