Not in Russia as I think most people were hoping but its still massive.

I'm excited.

Khabib out to injury would be my bet

So much for that being a boring card. I've even kept the prelims on the box to watch again!

Special mention to that Russian geezer with the daft name that starts in Z. No doubt he'll get a title shot very soon.

The main event was a bit of a shame, but this is MMA, anything can happen. The size difference shocked me though, didn't realise Till was quite that big, or Woodley that small.

Was an awesome card from top to bottom, great fights. Andrade vs Rose would be a brilliant scrap

Zabit is my new favourite fighter to watch. He just has so many different angles of attack.

Great card all round. Kudos to Till, he took a monstrous pounding on the floor but kept going. Good finish by Woodley though. I hope he fights Covington next and shuts the twerp up.

Had really high hopes for Till. He clearly had a gameplan to take Woodley deeper into the fight and start working him over as he gassed but sadly not to be. I think he will be upset that he threw so little and people who haven't seen much of him (in the US) will think he was massively over hyped. Some good fights on the card. Seeing KK get one punched actually upset me a bit!

I love the way KK leans against the cage with her hands behind her back. Very demure and a unique way to start.

I’m super pissed off BT has lost UFC rights. I love watching but there is zero chance of me subscribing or getting PPV. Truth is the undercards are often underwhelming.

Agreed. Do we know when they are stopping them?

Edit : End of the year. But Eleven Sport will be carrying it. https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/general/mma/bt...

http://elevensports.com/ (Terrible security on their site, not very clever).

Yes I'm pretty annoyed. I will be dumping BT sport as I rarely watch PL football anymore and it isn't worth it for the odd boxing fight. I mainly got it for UFC. I also have fight pass so may just catch the UFC cards a week or so later. Not great but I'm not sure I want to take out another subscription with eleven sports (whoever they are). I also read that most of the cards will be free on eleven sports but selected ones will be PPV in the UK (presumably Conor).

Khabib Vs McGregor not too far away now. I could normally take or leave Conor (despite being Irish) being honest, but I'm really looking forward to this one.

Press conference tonight at 10pm, my prediction is he steals the belt then throws a chair.

I'm actually a fan of his.

This whole Jones USADA debacle is a complete farce.
