Yep, that's Nick.

haha... good work me!

Cracking Presser just now, anyone watch?

Most amusing. Can't wait for Saturday night!

[FredClogs]

Conor calling out Mayweather for a $1billion boxing match... There's a point where the sublime meets the ridiculous.

[gitzy16v]

Anyone see McGregor in the weigh in,looks a beast,much better than the junkie at 145,nate looks out of shape,I'm biased though

[Halb]

Just watched a FB link with them two slagging each other off, very funny.

[epom]

Conor refusing to be compared to Muhammad Ali.... No one can be compared to him he said. Wow some humility ? If he's not careful I'm going to end liking him too.

[VEA]

Should have guessed but didn't realise that the fight was 3am. Gah makes things difficult to watch live.

I'm too old to stay up to watch it live; it'll always be a Sunday morning break-fest for me. I'm assuming that the main event is 5 rounds, but I've seen the odd bit of info pointing to it being a 3-rounder.

Does anybody know?

ETA: I've now convinced myself it's a 3-rounder based on no new evidence; I think they've done it due to the late notice for Nate Diaz.

I always watch it over Sunday brekkie. I don't see the point in staying up as you will only miss it by a few hours so why waste your Sunday being half asleep or in bed!
Been following the build up all week and haven't seen anything to suggest it will be a three rounder.

Did anyone watch the unstoppable press conference last night? If you missed it try and look it up if you get a free hour.....it was superb!

I'm a Sunday morning man myself, get up at 7 normally for UFC. No internet for me until it's done either.

It's from Sherdog, but still:

Has anyone seen the McGregor/Diaz interview on CNBC? Conor was on form! "Nate can only count to five"

This is bullst. Unless you have the BT Sport package, you cannot watch UFC at all, live, online or otherwise. Wtf!
I have looked everywhere online to find a way of paying to stream it live, or any other way, and it appears to be blocked in the good ole UK.

Why is that bad? They have brought and paid for the rights.

I'm not having a go at BT. I'm disappointed with the UFC that they have not made other provisions for terrestrial tv users to pay to watch it any other way (ie - Youtube, UFC.com, etc) Hence my post.

The UFC don't give a fk about UK audiences.

There are of course "other ways".

http://firstrowir.eu/sport/boxing-wwe-ufc.html use hola unblocker and Robert's your mother's brother.

I'm sure there will be plenty of other links available closer to the fight time.

Have you checked with your tv service provider? I get BT sports through Virgin media as part of the XL tv package which also includes dozens of other channels for only an extra £10 a month.
