You'd get two months of BT for much less than that. Mental idea.

You can sign up but have to give 30 days notice to cancel. So your stuck for two months essentially. Much better option with a few more events also.

Sure VPNs are not illegal. You've even spoken about them yourself:

If you are in Ireland and want to watch it on Showtime you need a VPN otherwise its on Sky Sports News/ITV Box Office or on the UFC You Tube Channel

Can you check with admin and confirm as I, and most people, of course understand discussion of illegal streams being against the rules but not being able to mention VPNs seems excessive.

It will be opened in time for the fight, the discussion can stay here till then. Enough nonsense still being posted that doesnt need to flow over into the event thread.

VPN's when used for their proper purpose arent illegal.

From other threads on boards: Discussion of VPN products to specifically bypass region restrictions is not permitted in this forum. Likewise discussion of streaming pirated materials, such as movies, tv shows, etc. is not permitted.

I will ask for you anyways but considering the purpose they are being used I would say it will be a no.

Worth highlighting to them that on many forums throughout Boards there appears to be no issue with users discussing the use of VPNs with the objective of viewing content at a better price than it is available here. Some examples (1, 2, 3).

Anyway, appreciate you asking them.

Yup, said fight against RDA at 224 was a "done deal":

Obviously wasn't a done deal because it didn't go ahead. Maybe he wanted the fight but I'm still of the opinion it was never going to happen.

Well that's just invalid logic altogether, isn't it? His fight against RDA at 196 was a done deal and that didn't go ahead either. By your logic, that means it was never going to happen.

Have just watched Embedded. "Khabib's Army" definitely one of the worst things in UFC history.

That interview was good craic. He's still funny when he doesn't have his slowed down Americanised media persona on.

This is the Conor people forget actually exists, they just see the media persona.

And yet you can't drag yourself and all your negative posts away from it. Such a shame, you contribute so much.

Call me a cynic but I still don't believe that the McGregor vs whoever in Brazil was ever a thing. When asked about stepping in on short notice by McGahon the other day McGregor repeated the logic that so many user here - UFC didn't have enough time to put together the marketing strategy to get full use of him, therefore the fight was a non runner. Why would they change their outlook for a fight in Brazil where the tickets have already been sold? McGregor blowing smoke I think to be honest.

Don't get me wrong I wouldn't be surprised if McGregor pushed for it, but he's the jewel in the UFC crown. Ultimately they call the shots.
