I think she is the hottest chick in the ufc. She could choke me out any day.

BT Sports is the only official way to watch it in Ireland.

Why did they do that?

I'm after linking my sky card with someone elses Eir Sports package that they weren't using. You could do that.

I don't have a sky subscription at the moment but I still have the box hooked up. Maybe that's the problem ?

valuable contribution I personally have a new found soft spot for Karolina. I won't even try spell her 2nd name. She likes cookies and is devastating in the clinch.

Fair warning - the toilet situation in the T-mobile arena is apparently a disaster if you're on the bottom floor.

Time your toilet breaks well. Apparently the layout is horrendous and massive queues even to take a leak.

the thoughts of all the tinfoil hat brigade coming out with sh!t like this on facebook tomorrow would nearly make you want a diaz win :D:D

my prediction is a round 3 TKO by McGregor for anyone who cares!

we'llallhavetea

hyped up to the last here, i want conor to win this so desperately which is the total opposite of the last fight! i love nate and was so happy for him when he won the last one, sad for conor of course but now, conor HAS to win, if he doesnt he will be devestated and that makes me sad

watching one of the videos after the weigh in last night i was very shocked to hear conor say he was basically gonna try and knock him out, wtf dude, have ya seen the cavity block of a head on nate? i presumed he had the sense to go the 5 rounds and win by decison, because thats the only way i feel he can win this. dreaming of him knocking him out of course but nah, chances are slim to none.

prediction, diaz wins

hope, conor wins in the 3rd round by tko.

also this thread has been pathetic in parts, people infracted for saying they hope nate slaps the head off conor, hellooo, its mma, thats what happens?! I HOPE CONOR SLAPS THE HEAD OF NATE!

thank God they have got back to the old canvas.

John McCarthy was doing the pat-downs there. Don't often see him do them.

I fancy Uda for the upset here.

Oh tell me about it. Lad in work still thinks aldo fight was a fix because 'a champion for years doesn't just go down like that'. 😊

i would happily sacrifice a "good fight" for another 13 second ko from conor, thats how desperate i am for him to win this!

christ!

great win! nice to see another european doing well!

McGregor via Submission

fun first fight. Vettori had a bad cut but did well to sink in the head and arm guillotine. Uda is a black belt as well, so even more impressive.

I feel really bad for Larkin and Magny.

There's 2 men and a sheep inside the T-Mobile at the moment.

Ghost town.

I know it's always the way for the prelims but they're too big of a name to deserve that.

I love me a guillotine! Larkin is a free agent after this as he said the UFC aren't pushing him enough. Expect him to go all out in this!

Agree going for the decision is Conor's best bet and the smart game plan. A knockout could happen but seems a long shot.

'Burstin' his face is maybe an option for a technical stoppage?

for anyone not interested in the Prelims, i can't recommend this highly enough.

Owen has been doing the VLOGS for the last 3 weeks and the latest one is great....shows way more behind the scenes than Embedded even.

What's super encouraging to me is when Conor went "F*ck the Diaz brothers and if you're down with the Diaz brothers, f*ck you too"....a lot on here assumed he's too emotional.

Watch this VLOG. Look at his face as he went backstage. No emotion. All for show

McGregor getting a disclosed $3 million for tonight (2 for Diaz). Nice money

2 cups of coffee and some American "candy" full of sugar before I lash into the booze.

I have a strong feeling I am going to crash and burn.
