UFC Fight Night 46: McGregor vs. Brandão When: July 19th, 2014 at 12:30pm ET/9:30am PT Where: O2 Arena in Dublin, Ireland How: Fight Pass (All 10 fights) Thread gimmick credit: Captain Log Goonweight Grand Prix Stuff: Make your picks || Spreadsheet || Thread Chat: #MMA on synIRC  You like sport fighting. You like winning money. The problem is, when confronted with a bet, you have the good sense to run the other direction like Wanderlei Silva fleeing an athletic commission. It's time to man up and show your friends you're the best at knowing what will happen when two men punch each other in the face for 15 minutes while wearing their choice of weiner coverings plastered in advertisements. With Wanderlei Silva (Not that one. The other famous and well-liked MMA personality. Who is also a cockatiel owned by Captain Log) in your corner, your luck is about to change.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ABowZ56T9k There you have it. With the hair of Conor McGregor and the rosy red cheeks of a drunken Irishman, some may be tempted to accuse Wanderlei of a bias toward the leprechaun folk. Not so. Wanderlei the Cockatiel is at least as honorable as his namesake. We guarantee it.

Bad year for Wandy. Made to look like an idiot on TUF, an idiot outside TUF and is relegated to worst Wanderlei Silva by a cockatiel.

Wanderlei Silva given 1 day with towel over his cage after Nevada State Wildlife Commission finds traces of AGH in the newspapers beneath his perch. Edit: Aerial Helwani is live tweeting reports of what appears to be a guitar solo coming from inside the covered cage. Intel&Sebastian fucked around with this message at 21:27 on Jul 18, 2014 |

Lmao I think the UFC had a target of 100k subscriptions and in the first week they blew the doors off that. Fight Pass is fine and will make them a small bit of money.

I'm based in Ireland. I know there's a channel showing the main event, but does the free trial of Fight Pass show the whole line up? I've never really watched MMA before but I figure this could be a good jumping off point. I'm not gonna pay for it though. So does the free trial cover everything tomorrow?

I don't know if there are stipulations specific to Ireland, but here in the US, every fight is on Fight Pass, so if you were to get the free trial, you'd definitely get the whole card.

Cool cool. I think that was the case. But they were showing up the €7.99 charge next to the prelims and the main line up so I thought it might be a PPV thing on top of the rest. Is there anything else worth watching on it during my seven day trial?

There's a whole thread full of suggestions: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3642892 From this card's fighters alone, it's worth checking out Conor McGregor's past fights and also anything with Brad Pickett or Ian McCall. Edit: Just grabbing fights from wikipedia that got Fight of the Night, Sub of the Night, or Knockout of the Night, you get the following for those three guys... Conor McGregor vs. Marcus Brimage Ian McCall vs. Iliarde Santos vs. Demetrious Johnson (Flyweight tournament semifinal for the first belt in the weight class) Brad Pickett vs. Michael McDonald vs. Mike Easton vs. Yves Jabouin vs. Damacio Page vs. Renan Barao vs. Scott Jorgensen vs. Kyle Dietz Agent Tough Juice fucked around with this message at 23:27 on Jul 18, 2014 |

I think for UK/Ireland it's prelims on FightPass, main card on BT Sport 2 & TV3e. Not sure if the main card would be blacked out on FightPass there but I doubt it. I'm attending this card it's my first one. Wow!!

Conor is going to get his rear end beat handily and it's going to be loving funny. The way the UFC pushed Pendragon on TUF, even knowing that he was going to lose way before it aired, shows how much they're obsessed with Ireland. I'm assuming it's mostly due to White's Boston connections and the horrible Irish pride the assholes there have. There are more people in Minnesota than in Ireland.

The UFC is pushing McGregor because he is extremely marketable, and Ireland is a country that will get behind its fighters, which equals $$$. Minnesota doesn't give a gently caress about Sean Sherk.

Conor's hype isn't so unwarranted, if you need a reminder just look at how he trashed PPV main card caliber fighters Marcus Brimage and Max Holloway.

She is also known to get really loving confused by the TV and startle herself into the drapes and awkwardly wark at me until I get her down. I think Wandy might have a lot in common with her dumbass namesake.

Ergo an Irish guy with drunk-wit, who kicks the poo poo out of people has more marketability than most random UFC fighters.

I hope Conor wins, and avoids TKZ en route to the title, defeating only fighters I dislike, only to become a champion douchebag whereby TKZ defeats him with some crazy mixture of showtime kick and twister.
