2 Things i wasnt particurlaly impressed with from that presser:

1. Mcgregor saying RDA had only bruised his foot. Quite clearly broken no need to say anymore about it.

McG v Diaz has made it onto the BBC news app.

I always check this app when.I need to.kill.some time.and it's the first time any MMA related topic has showed up.

BCC just bought the rights to european and overseas UFC events, most likely why it's suddenly appear. This weekends event is on BBC3 afaik

Just saw this video and had to post it.

I can see why foreign fans wouldn't like McGregor, he's brash and talks sh1t to every opponent, but I can't understand why some Irish people don't like him. I've never heard another Irish athlete or even an Irish celebrity speak so much about the love they have for this country as much as Conor McGregor.

Its refreshing to see a high profile athlete speak so proudly of Ireland. I honestly don't think we'll ever see another Conor Mcgregor type athlete come from this country.

Not everyone who is Irish loves the country (me for example).

But I did watch that video earlier this morning and it gave me a good vibe about the place and brought my opinion of Conor up in my books. Great to see that he still cares and has time for everyone!

I am a massive McGregor fan, I get up to watch all his fights. I am someone who never even heard of MMA a few years ago, someone who doesn't even think the sport is entertaining. Many of my friends are the very same. Yet he makes us excited to get up at stupid hours to watch him fight. I admire an athlete who does that but I've a query, if McGregor says the game is nothing without him, (which is true in Ireland i think) why can't he demand a fight in the o2 or Croker? I dislike MMA but I would definitely pay 100+ to go to that event. It would be a sell out without question!!!! I've been at 10 All-Irelands, many Irish rugby and soccer games but the atmosphere at this would beat them all I think. I am a student and can't afford to go to Vegas like many on this thread I'm sure. Just curious as to why CMcG can't just make this call???

Firas is great, classy guy just like GSP. Cut from the same cloth.

Off topic but just guessing that as a student who has been to ten all Ireland's you must be from Kilkenny or maybe Kerry?? ;-)

Am I right??

No it's definitely not. Fight Pass exclusive. The UFC London thread has some discussion re BBC3, it's gone to online only but will have event discussion and interview I think.

BBC Three bought rights to live commentary and post fight interviews. BT Sports still hold the rights to live coverage of TV events.

UFC Fight Night London is on UFC Fight Pass only so BT won't be showing it.

Jaysus, unreal. I watched a few of Diaz's fights last night, & then watched the RDA/Diaz fight....RDA annihilated him, the chap is a class act, a total animal

Completely different Diaz that fought Johnson in December to the one that fought RDA,the RDA fight he missed weight looked sloppy and out of shape and not too interested.He was smack bang in the middle of his contract dispute then,wanted the UFC to free him up from his contract,but he came in motivated and in shape for the Johnson fight,when he got the rumours of a fight with Conor he knew one good performance puts him in with a shot of that big payday fight,and he was right.

see that last thrust forward, conor throws that clean overhand counter that ended Aldo.
you throw that enough times and muscle memory alone will fire the shot, gas!!!
If he beats diaz, me thinks Rockwell will be signing up for yer mans movement classes too.

Doesn't think the sport is entertaining.
You dislike MMA.
You are your friends are the very definition of bandwagoners so.

yeah I agree, it's the same as watching football cos you like David beckhams new hairstyle, it excites you!!!

it's more an infatuation than an interest in the sport itself, if he lost a fight they'd be staying in bed so from now on!! take down your free sunday world mcgregor posters, there'll be a new cult of personality coming soon to an TV near you, they'll peak your interest.

Is there an issue with people jumping on the bandwagon?

Why did you single out one line, read the post as a whole.

If it gets the sport new fans who enjoy it then brilliant.

People who just watch until McGregor gets beaten and don't like MMA or don't find the sport entertaining go can fcuk off in my personal opinion.

Would've been easier to just answer the original question rather than add your name to the lengthy list of people that keep ignoring the mods around here.

I did answer the question.

I am not ignoring any mods, I gave my opinion which I am allowed to do.

More new fans is how the sport will grow, people who hate the sport and just watch McGregor aren't fans so won't be any loss.
