Yeah, any truth in the rumour he stripped all the copper out of the gaff he was staying in in Vegas?

He's still talking about moving up. He's a big dude Woodley is be mental.

JoeyJJ

Thats standard Conor, he looks motivated.

LOL Kabib the Bobblehead

Love it

Useful.Idiot

Great interview, he's got the hunger anyways.

Subcomandante Marcos

Woodley would murder Conor.
Literally. Darren Till is a massive WW and Woodley left him on his arse, he'd decapitate Conor.

Yeah, that sounds really likely. Tony bitching to a random blabber mouth stranger about his son. Conor cut off Tony's pocket money. Why else would he handing out Lucozade at train stations.

great interview - very honest - no bull

but im afraid woodley kicks your ass very easy
he should stay at 155

He’d want to be a madman to take that fight. Which he probably is to be fair. I agree though, would prob get badly ko’d.

Good interview, looks in good nick too.

In fairness Tony being the archetypical Dublin Taxi Driver probably had a few jars and started talking absolute scutter in his native habitat.

JoeyJJ

Conor looks a bit out of sorts. Two years out and the biggest fight of his life, natural I suppose.

Inside The Octagon was a great watch (as always).

Interesting that Hardy thinks Conor will continue to use his variety of kicks throughout the fight despite Khabib’s obvious takedown threat.

He also cites that Conor could have Khabib in trouble with his elbows and strikes when Khabib has his head down trying to secure the takedowns if against the fence.

Hardy feels after all his years of studying fighters and doing breakdowns, he’s never seen anyone with a better understanding of utilizing range as Conor. He feels Khabib’s understanding of range is light years away from Conor’s.

It’s not something that he ever really gets credited for, but Dan also thinks that Conor’s takedown and grappling defense is “excellent”.

On the other end of the scale he says that Khabib’s boxing technique is poor and he’d never train anyone to fight like that, but as it’s so unorthodox he could perhaps surprise Conor with it as Conor is so used to training for and countering traditional strikers.

He broke down Khabib’s ground game nicely and showed how Khabib will keep pounding on Conor instead of taking submissions that arise.

Ultimately, he thinks Conor can live with Khabib on the ground enough to survive, but that he doesn’t think Khabib can do the same with Conor on the feet.

Dan obviously never gives predictions on the program, but if he was pressed I think he’d be leaning strongly enough towards Conor based on his breakdown.

The eagle punch was insightful also.

Yeah the Eir Sport package which is the only way to get BT Sport is the only way to get UFC 229

It's free with Eir broadband though, maybe you might have a relation with eir broadband who has no interest in sport and you could get eir sport through them for free, all you need is their account number and you can then get it for your Sky box or use the Eir Sport app with a Chromecast

If I just have the Eir broadband can I still download the App and watch BT sport?
