    It's to accommodate Russian TV schedules. This event was originally going to be in Russia but that changed for reasons I don't know but they already had agreed to show it on Russian TV at this time so it works out well for us. Prelims start at 5, Main Card at 8.

    I just noticed that the main card for UFC on ESPN 5 (Lawler v Covington) kicks off at 8PM Irish Time. Any particular reason for this?

    It was meant to be in Russia but that didn't go ahead for some reason. They had to move it and just decided to keep the air time the same.

    It'll be the usual even fight the Covington gets it going and them Robbie comes back and wins it. Robbie doesn't know how to win a fight handy anymore.

    I can think of few matchups in the world right now that would disappoint me more, than if Colby beats Lawler at the weekend.

    I don't think any fighter has ever been willed to practically murder someone as much as Robbie.
    Sacrifices to the MMA gods that he puts an immerciful beating on Colby

    what did she think was going to happen after her team edited the video to make dana look bad. Some of the stuff she put on her social media was stupid considering it was 3 or 4 years ago.

    Funny how she was full of apologies after dana says she was been released.

    They wanted to be released after years of dealing with dickheads like Dana White. Mission accomplished. They'll go to One and make more money and be treated far better.

    Nah she would've earned a fortune from a Nunes rematch. She fúcked up badly.

    Best thing for her getting out of the ufc contract. They wanted her to sign one for 6 fights which could have been 1 fight a year, ridiculous. Now she will get possibly more and have more fights somewhere else.

    Scott summed up the situation nicely with the 'goldblum staring at ****' meme.

    One fight a year with middling ppv figures. Dana is full of ****e. Stop quoting him as a reliable source.

    Why would it have been 1 fight a year?

    The UFC propaganda machine in full flow. Dana doubtless unapologetic, but doubtless other execs in WME-IMG would be fearful of any charges of bigotry or discrimination. It's the fight business alright, and all that that entails, but for them ultimately just a business.

    Personally would've liked to see Cyborg go at it again with Nunes, this time with strategy adjustments. I don't know if the result ultimately would differ, but there's a potential banger in that match-up.

    Also, I get the PED/ unfair advantage angle, but then I'm with Nate when he says everyone's on steroids. Or at least likely a majority are...

    Because he's a lying, petty, man-child, ballbag. Mainly.

    This is true. Though I wonder if anti-Cyborg sentiment is more widespread in the UFC group than Dana, given their hankering for widespread appeal and a general audience. Cyborg's look unfortunately denotes all that might seem negative to the uninitiated about cage fighting.

    Amanda is more monetarily palatable on almost every cynical metric you can think of. And to think of the hatchet job Dana did on her not so long ago...

    145 isn't deep enough to get her more fights, which isn't exactly UFC's fault, hope they do away with that division now. So a 6 fight contract could last 6 years and she has stated she needs more fights for better brand recognition. This is win win for both Cyborg and UFC but typical Dana being a bollox about it

    Who would Cyborg even fight in say, Bellator? She'd rip through anyone there.

    Johnny Walker fighting Corey Anderson in November. The winner will most likely face Jones but who will jones face in the meantime?

    Frankie Edgar is going down to Bantamweight and wants to fight on the MSG card. Cody said recently he wants to fight around then too, I wouldn’t mind seeing that fight.
