REALLY pissed off at that

[AdamM]

So, Conor v Nate at 170lbs
What do we think of that?
Great fight, and if Conor wins, WW division on notice

[Marky147]

Yeah, will be insane.

The fight companion for Sunday was superb.

You don't get much commentary on the fights, but it's just such great fun.

[Marky147]

Diaz is going to struggle getting below 165 at short notice.

The UFC counter with 160, but Diaz stands with 165.

couple hours later McGregor says make it 170, and tell him to get comfortable

A mate bought a month of Fight Pass and we watched the fight this afternoon.

Michael fucking Bisping, well played sir!!!

So pleased for him. Definitely the right score on all the cards.

must now deserve his title shot.

Anderson should fight Weidman in Brazil.

[Woodsey]

Saw some brief highlights earlier, amazing how that knee to the head that seemed right on the button when he was distracted didn't knock him clean out.....tough guy.

Good performance by Bisping, also agreed with the scores.  Think Anderson is done though.

Dont agree Bisping should get a title shot, feel like every time he has been close to a title shot he has lost.  Think he wouldve got one if he beat Vitor, Chael Sonnen, Rockhold or Tim Kennedy but each loss knocked him back and until this fight I dont think he's really beat another legit contender.  He could be 1 fight from a title shot now and should have to beat someone in the top 5 to get it.

Looking forward to Mcgregor V Diaz this weekend, Nate is 4/1!!  What we think about that price?  Seems way too big, this is the first fight in a long time where McGregor has been such a huge favourite and Im not sure it should be as big with such a big move up in weight and the overall skill of Diaz

[AdamM]

I guess they could make Bisping fight either Jacare or Weidman before the title shot, but I feel like they're going to reward him for time served and bump him in next.

I think 4/1 on Diaz is about right. Easy night at the office for Conor IMO

[Marky147]

Bisping is, and always will be, a gatekeeper for the division.

That said, I agree with Adam, and think he should get a shot.

He'll likely get hammered, possibly retire post-fight, and then take up a position as some sort of ambassador for the company.

Think McGregor probably walks around about that weight, so it won't be as big an issue as it may be for some. Should be a great fight, and while I think the Diaz brothers are great value, I'd like to see him get smashed to bits here.

[AdamM]

Oh, don't get me wrong, I think Rockhold beats Bisping every time. I just think he's earned the shot.

[Marky147]

Oh, don't get me wrong, I think Rockhold beats Bisping every time. I just think he's earned the shot.

Yeah, never thought any of us thought otherwise.

If he's lucky Rockhold might submit him, rather than repeating what he did to Weidman

[Pinchop73]

Yeah that Rockhold Weidman fight was super brutal.

Looking forward to Sat night, amazing what Notorious has done for MMA

[mondatoo]

Never followed the sport apart from watching some of TUF but I'm borderline obsessed with McGregor

He's just so fukn impressive, he's a likeable version of Mayweather who also seems willing to fight anybody and doesn't have the chequered history Floyd had, what's not to love about the guy.

Will defo be watching Saturday.
