UFC 196: McGregor v Diaz

Mellor

Shevchenko could be a value underdog here. Nunes is rounded but prefers to strike. Shevchenko should dominate in a stand up fight.

John_D80

I still get sleepy when I think of Elkins fight against Robert Whiteford in Dublin. Expecting more of the same here if Elkins gets the upper hand.

Yeah guarantee anyone near getting a tap rogan will blow his load early as usual and your man escapes 90% of the time

Agreed big time. Nunes is a brawler.

Skelly not having a good time!

1st round either way..
2nd round Elkins..

Skelly needs to win this last round convincingly to even have a half chance at a W.

Decided to watch the fights in bed but the missus is here and wasn't interested so I'm in the spare room tonight, I've just discovered that my spare bed is more comfortable than my master bedroom bed... I may never leave...

I can work from home, so it's not completely unrealistic to just make a fort in here and only leave for food, showers and peepee poopoos

Elkins dominating him after the first, some man for grinding someone down! Thought Skelly was going to take it when he got his leg early on.

Subcomandante Marcos

Elkins was pretty impressive there. I'm going 30-27.

Buy a mini fridge and get Tesco groceries delivered through the window... That's the food situation sorted too!

Elkins will probably take that 30-27 unanimously.

That_Guy

Elkins very impressive there. I have him winning 29-27 anyway.

Similar situation on holidays in Paris with herself. Have made base camp on hotel floor and have raided the mini bar. Her card not mine.:D

Nice finish from Patrick Stewart.

Nice head kick there from Jonjo Shelvey.

quainy

Thank God for that Ko.. That fight got stale quickly...

John_D80

The way Joe says bowoooom! gas

That_Guy

Vicious elbows. Shades of McGregor v Mendes (except on the feet). Great head kick and combo afterwards. Gorgeous technique.

Fúck it, go full hog and get yourself a UFC 200 ticket. If you're gonna get dumped, do it in style my man. :pac:

tinpib

So Joe asks a question in English, which isn't translated, and yer man says what he wants in Portuguese?

An innovative approach.

EDIT: TBF most interviews in English follow the same pattern.

As do interviews with politicians, I guess.

That could be a plan. Anyone need half price tickets ?

The best ones are when the translator messes up and answers something entirely different to what was asked!

Dat flinch doe

Paully D

Frankie is visibly seething while talking about the McGregor fight for Fox Sports. :pac:

lougal88

Should be another good fight. Silva usually comes out of the blocks like a greyhound. Watch for a quick takedown and possible sub win

Flinching means nothing in a stare down. Just cause Conor jumped doesn't mean he was scared.

That_Guy

Supposedly Leo Di Caprio is in attendance. Imagine that after party if Conor wins.

I can't stay awake any longer, off to bed. Enjoy the fights lads

He tried the same thing in another thread. Just looking for a reaction I reckon.

Get off Boards, Erick. You have a fight to prep for.

Why is he lucky? Diaz would have hit him? Lost his license and all the money in his bank?... Pretty sure they held Nate back for his own sake... You know.. A professional fighter like McGregor could take a punch..... Bankruptcy would hit Diaz much harder.

Canadel

McGregor shows very little respect to people by having his fights on so late. I know his Irish fans probably don't care, but I'm surprised the US followers don't complain.

Time to learn about timezones

John_D80

Sneaky prick. That was a dirty move.
