4th time lucky for Adesanya. Just when it looked like Pereira was closing in for a ko too.

Shame, he's an effeminate scumbag. Took the chance to mock Pereira's kid while his da was unconscious.

Hate him all you want but that's a massive win for him knocking out a ranked opponent. If you look at the 8 or 9 lads ranked above him there's a lot of winnable fights. Great to see another Irish talent in the UFC.

His most impressive performance and a very good finish. 
Not very likable (just seems to try to hard to be liked) but still he's irish so you want him to go to the top. That will make him ranked now

I think he may have matured a little bit but did he do the run over to Dana white thing People do after a big win where they make a demand for next fight or fight bonus? He was talking to someone outside the cage.  I hate when fighters do that.

I also was afraid when he jumped up on the cage he was going to do the mgregror money flick motion with his hands.

It's a strange one with Garry in that he seems to be universally disliked at home. Even in McGregor's heyday, he had as many supporters as he had people hoping he'd lose. It seems to be very one-sided for Garry, for whatever reasons.

He obviously doesn't have the hype train behind him, that helped Mcgregor.
And in ireland he didn't come from 'working class' on the dole with a loveable rogue character and major charisma, Garry is more of a Rugby type head who was trying to act like he's from the street and trying to be like McGregor, think that's what put a lot of onlookers off him a little. We are very much a class driven society and it suits us better when people stay in their own lane LOL (you sometimes see it in rugby where players not from public school background it becomes a talking point).

In addition in McGregor's case, it wasn't just the Irish who loved or hated him it was the UFC fans globally who were/are tapped in to that. He became a global superstar very quickly.  

Garry is maybe a bit more of a slowburn and he hasn't really tore through his opponents in the same way either as mcgregor did, most of his fights he was in a bit of jeopardy until the one the other night. But that could be a bit of a springboard. I know my UFC liking mates we are all in the same boat that we want him to do well like and if he starts getting those big fights and gets into the top contender position then I'm sure a lot of the Irish support will row in behind him like they would any good Irish contender in sport.

But mcgregor was on a different level and almost Jesus like for some!,

I would seriously question the sanity of anyone in Ireland who is a McGregor fan. The lad is an absolute scumbag.

In fairness it was the first time ive heard of him Saturday and he comes across as a bit of a bellend. A bit like McGregor.

No one in Ireland bought that story. It was hardly believable when you're living in a big gaf in Laraghcon. 

Hard to argue with Garry's lack of originality. Trying very hard to be McGregor 2.0, even though his rise is a lot slower. To be fair to him, he's hardly the first to try it; James Gallagher is another example.

That win over Rodriguez was his best performance so far, finally backed up his own hype, and even called how the ko would happen.

He's a lot less chaotic in personality than McGregor,, who judging by clips from the new season of TUF has gone to resembling his behaviour from the pre-Khabib fight, as opposed to his dedicated days.

For some reason I class those anti immigration racists in the same bracket as McGregor fans.

His back story just isn't interesting.

He comes from a very middle-class upbringing in Portmarnock, it's not exactly a rags to riches story.
