I've never seen the UFC bum anyone in their history as much as they are bumming McGregor just now. They are absolutely desperate for him to win.

Came here to ask the same. Not a huge fan but living in Dublin it's all anyone will talk about for the next week so I may as well watch it if I can.

If I can't find a good stream I'll just pay for one http://www.ufc.tv/video/ufc-189

First row sports will have a stream, it won't be amazing quality ofc, but should be stable... ish. I say ish because this is going to be a popular event, far more than usual simply because conor is fighting. If anyone wants a pm. I'll link you guys up.

As far as my predictions go for the main event. I haven't got a clue. But I'm leaning towards Conor managing to avoid the takedown and land strikes and knock him out or get a TKO. That said if Chad gets him on the floor he'll win.

I think I've just watched the greatest UFC card of my 10 year UFC fandom and I've watch a good 100 UFC main events. UFC 189 is a must watch.

You should also check out the post fight press conference.

I'll watch it when it goes up on Fight Pass in three months.

Won £30 last night which was nice.

Bree what's the reaction been like over there?

The full thing or the main card? I thought the main card sucked personally.


I personally think if you thought that main card sucked then there's something wrong with you.

On some of the fights themselves - Gunnar Nelson reminds me of Fedor. Like I used to think Cain was the next Fedor, but really it's Gunnar. From his demeanor, down to his ground technique and submission efficiency. The Lawler/Rory MacDonald fight for me didn't really get going until round 3/4, Then it turned into a real brawl, with Rory unleashing into beast mode with awesome combinations and elbow strikes. Good fight overall. Main event was fun too. Unsurprisingly Mendes easily got Conor down and was able to land some decent shots from the guard but the body shots and precision ranged strikes from Conor wore him down in the stand up. Conor honestly has the best chin p4p. What I enjoy most about him is his fluidity in movement and how he kind of throws his long punches with seemingly minimal power, like they seem graceful in similar fashion to nick diaz actually, same with the kicks. However they are heavy and land hard and that's how him punishes his opponents, precision, speed and timing. He got handled on the ground though, needs to work on his take down defense and ground game. I think he beats Aldo, more confident too as it will be a stand up fight.

Overall a solid main card and also would like to say that I thought the production was spot on, the UFC has moved into its next era with Reebok. Very professional execution. Only thing I didn't like much was the intro music for the PPV, liked the original version of face the pain better. Having the video footage focus on the fighters ofc the event was a good idea though. UFC's previous PPV montage video was too much like a video game.

Enjoyed the Lawler-Rory fight, and although I was hoping Rory would win, you can't argue with Lawler. A worthy champion.

Enjoyed the Mendes-McGregor fight too, but disappointed that McGregor won - I don't really like him, and was getting sick of the hyperbole and the 'nobody brings it like the Irish fans!' bollocks - but I don't think he'll beat Aldo.

If you didn't enjoy that card, what do you watch MMA for? It's pretty perplexing. A fight where aomeone was down twice then absolutely sparks his opponent with a flying knee. A Gunnar masterclass. Bermudez and Stephens goin at it until another flying knee stops it. One of the most entertaining championship fights ever followed by the weirdness that was the Conor show that still managed to be pretty exhilarating.

I'll edit this later with the pic of Rory in hospital, he is unrecognisable. How he fought for 4 and a bit rounds breathing through his mouth almost certainly concussed is just beyond me. That fight was a war.

When he went into beast (only applicable term I can think of) mode at the end of round 3 and then into round 4, holy gooseberry fool. He could have finished Lawler if he had more time at the end of the third round. Stunning fight. I feel bad Rory lost, he put his heart into that, though they both did to be fair. Again, awesome fight.

Haven't watched in I don't know how long but that was my first UFC in ages. Good event, had zero idea who the majority were so I didn't so much care for those fights but the two mains were excellent.

Also, that 3D video effect they do in the octagon was bloody awesome.

UFC Glasgow is just started. You can watch it live on the BT Sports app (they are showing it on TV later at 9pm) and it's on Fight Pass as well, and that still has a one-week trial.

So who do people think Fedor will sign with, Bellator of the UFC? Any fights you'd like to see?
