Uh apparently this card started a loving hour ago despite having fights fall through? Why the gently caress is it this early.

Hmmm is there a more detailed breakdown as to what counts as "fighting"? Pretty much the main reason I use Fightpass (in the US) instead of ESPN+ is that I get to see the corners between rounds, is that fighting or other?

Additionally, this chart is a little bit difficult to read because...as mentioned, the same events are on multiple platforms but with different ad showings, how is a "UFC on Fox" being shown on Fight Pass for the international audience being counted?

Definitely interesting, I agree.

Yeah but it was the same back then too except ESPN+ is a streaming service people are actually directly paying for, so it's extra loving stupid they're showing ads over the corner footage, but Fox totally did it too for their TV broadcasts.

So Cody's attempt to reclaim the title got derailed by Rob Font.

Font should probably get the title shot after the rematch with Aljo/Yan

I hope you get crushed to death by a fat guy trying to commit suicide by falling out of a window and when the paramedics answer the local bystander asking if you'll live, he just says "fat chance" and laughs.

It would be cool but I think he'd get wrestlefucked by both of them.

That was a pretty good scene actually. Most of the coaches challenges end up being pretty good. Faber trying unsuccessfully to poo poo talk Conor in the helicopter was pretty funny too, along with Bisping falling on his rear end

He owns.

Not that I'm defending the fouls in that fight, but didn't Rivera's corner say some pretty awful poo poo about Bisping's family in the lead up to it? IIRC he was angry at them not because of the trash talk, but because they dragged his wife and kids into it.

Yeah bisping was outraged that rivera made a set of youtube vids with his clothing sponsor that parodied bisping. He's a thin-skinned twat and spitting on rivera's corner people was beyond the pale

That could happen to anyone of us.


Pisspigs had a wonderful late career renaissance and all our lives are richer for it.

Edit: TKZ is fighting Dan Ige? Don't fancy that having seen iges recent performances.

Hardy is fight Tai Tuivasa lol. C'mon Tai just knock him out.

Conor is still on vacation in Dubai. He’s also inexplicably the favorite against Poirier. Lots of money to be made betting on Dustin there.

yeah but in the intervening years he somehow figured out how to be a much funnier and pleasant one to listen to. it's also very hard not to have tons of respect for his career and how he won the title. he also has a very strong case for being the most likely not to have used PEDs in ufc history.

Odds just follow the bets, no?

Makes sense Conor is favourite, because he still has people who think he's an unbeatable monster and he's highly popular.

McGregor did well enough in the first round that people buy into the 'he's gonna adjust to the calf kicks and win this time' narrative.

Odds are actually very close.
Roughly seeing
Conor -120ish
Dustin -105ish

Need Conor to post some grainy footage of him checking low kicks or something so Dustin is more of a underdog

In fairness that could be what happens. Mac has got a very good first round, I think only Mendes and Khabib have won the first round against him no?

I remember when he wanted to fight Anderson. I still want that fight because I miss Pride sometimes.
