Why blame Woodley? Maia had just as much fault, if not more. You have to beat the champion.

Also unimpressed with Rogan interviewing DC, breaking his own rule about interviewing TKO'd fighters.

Particularly when it had been quite a nasty KO, DC was clearly emotional etc....I don't think Rogan did Anyone any favours there.

Felt a bit for Manuwa, he was way to casual though.

The weekends UFC card was on and I was watching and my daughter walks in and says

"daddy why is that man fighting A woman"

It was cris cyborg

[Johnny]

Was a decent card.

Feel bad for DC. Rogan has apologised. Don't really see too much harm in it.

Some great fights in the Prelims & early prelims.

Cowboy v Ruthless was a cracker!

Thought Cowboy deserved that, but it was close

[danpalmer1993]

The best card for while.

Woodleys fight was disappointing but he just seems to manage the fights to get the win.

Jon Jones - failed a drugs test after his UFC Weigh-in with DC, rumours are that he took Turinabol

[Don1]

Oh, Jon.

The schlong, surely that's his last chance?

[g4ry13]

Depends on how well the McG brand can keep the hype going. Im guessing the new owners are trying to recoup there money as much as possiblenplus the Americans love a comeback story. I imagine he will be out for 4 years

Anyone watching MayMac fight this weekend? I would like to but don't have Sky, I'm on BT so I can get UFC.

I was wondering if i can get it through my Xbox but not finding any positive answers????

[Johnny]

I'm watching, but I have Sky...

Don't hey now allow you to buy & watch PPV online?

[anonymous-user]

Also watching, mate has Sky so we are all chipping in and watching it at his

[epom]

I assume McGrgeor can't possibly beat him? I can see him doing some very weird stance work etc etc, but shirley he can't ?? Does Mayweather have the power to knock him out?

He doesn't have a very realistic chance but it only takes one punch

Yeah that's the route I was thinking of, but on the internet browser on the Xbox One. I emailed Sky and got this reply:

Which doesn't answer my question (Don't have home computer or tablet). Don't want to payout and not be able to watch.

That said I'm not interested in any of the build up or other fights so would be setting the alarm for the main event only. Might just resort to looking for a dodgy download after the event

[Johnny]

For Chris77, and anyone without Sky

Cheers Johnny, I've seen this already, my concern is this bit:

With Sky Sports Box Office you can watch all the fights live via your PC/Desktop/MAC, NOW TV box, iPhone, iPad, Android phone or Android tablet.


I only have the Xbox one using the web browser as an option to view in my house (Im not going to bother with iphone) my question is will it work like viewing on a PC web browser or will it not be compatable?

[BRR]

first UFC card for a few weeks this weekend, main event should be good and there's Leon Edwards and Darren Till also fighting, both of which are really solid prospects

[Don1]

So, a pretty nice card (despite the Borg issue). The co main event was fairly poor, but most other fights were good.

Other thoughts.... Henry could take out Mighty Mouse. 'Could'. There is more w(h)ine in Luke Rockhold than the whole of France. What a douche. Nate needs to stop smoking - $20M for a moron that does what his brother does? Not interested. Are the UFC getting desperate to book fights? There are some strange match-ups and a push for superfights a lot. I don't mind that, but only when they make sense. Finally, there are some big names getting popped for PEDs (Junior, JBJ) - the supplement market needs regulation and the USDA need to be above reproach on the JBJ one (especially with the story that Chael tells....)
