UFC - thread

Mendes could cause mcgregor sone bother. For past 6 months mcgregor been training to compete against Aldo who's main weapon is his kicks, now he has 10 days to get mentally ready for Mendes who will try to test mcgregor with his takedown ability and his wrestling style

Hopefully mcgregor can get the win as Mendes has already had 2 cracks at Aldo for the title, although dobt think they be able to replicate the hype around a unification fight if mcgregor does beat Mendes

Was talking to an SBG fighter on Sunday and he was saying that the wrestling coach McGregor is working with now is world class. But Mendes is the elite though, isn't he. He can sure as hell take a punch as well, Aldo Mendes II proved that.

I suppose the positives in this are that if he takes Mendes down then he'll have clearly earnt a shot at Aldo. No-one can whinge that it's all hype and that he's been fast tracked to a title shot just to boost UFC's coffers.

Ufc says tickets will go on sale for UFC Dublin on Sept 4th for the event taking place in the 3Arena on the 24th Oct .
Ireland are playing the 4th in Faro v Gibraltar just in case ye are thinking of getting tickets

@Coyne - I don't think McGregor will be there either to be honest . The money is in Vegas but do you think there is enough interest to fill the 3Arena if McGregor is not on the card .

I like feeling of something exploding inside me

Here is a genuine question - Have been a boxing fan all of my life and have taken an small interest in UFC mainly down to McGregor though I'm struggling to be able to tolerate his verbal nonsense anymore.

Actual, fully grown adults apparently feeling "devastated" that some steroid-ridden freak has pulled out of some choreographed pantomime of a "fight", or actual, fully grown adults apparently seriously discussing the merits of possible replacement participants in said pantomime as if it's an actual sport. Strange, strange people. Sid, we get it. You don't like MMA. That's ok. No one here cares. Nothing perplexes me more than seeing someone with an unstoppable need to pop in to a thread to tell everybody in said thread, how little interest in, or like they have for the thread topic. Thanks for the input, but your posts aren't enriching anyone in here, least of all you.  You're smarter than that.

Personally, I've never read Joe.ie in my life (as far as I know) and don't have a facebook page either, but ya know, much easier just to pigeon hole and label.
