This years show of the Ultimate Fighter has two Irish lads in it for the first time ever, although quite fortuitously. One got a bye into the house because his opponents kept getting injured and the second while he was losing his fight his opponent blew out his knee. Cathal Pendred (whos name none of the yanks can pronounce) got the bye originally and won his first fight in the house putting him into the semi finals, and Chris Fields is the other fighter who's yet to fight in the house. Should be interesting to see how they get on in the coming weeks. |

Have been watching it since the start and while obviously hope they get on well, I can't see them winning it. Fields in particular looks the worst of both weight classes, definitely the easiest fight out there for any one in the light HW group. Pendred is very strong but looks a bit uncomfortable when it's not a grappling match. Both stand-up games look poor in comparison to the yanks on the show. Tickets for UFC Dublin go on general sale on June 6th I think, McGregor headlining against Cole Miller. ------------- Jimmy Bullard - "Favorite band? Elastic." |

Something very fishy about their ticketing process, few of my mates had presales codes for them yesterday and they couldnt get tickets and then today we were all on ticketmaster at 10am on the dot and there isnt a sniff of a ticket on the site, I reckon they must have sold out to VIP members or something. That way they'd make a fortune rather than just selling them for 50 quid a pop. Woolshed it is so! ------------- Jimmy Bullard - "Favorite band? Elastic." |

Don't know about the injury rumours but the urine sample thing is mental.

Turns out he hadn't a working one so couldn't get the samples. Aldo submitted them the next day. Looks shady

All the evidence is leading towards the injury is legitimate but he hasn't pulled out as of yet and is considering his options. The Retweet on Aldo's Twitter account 30 mins after the news broke tells me personally he's still wanting to go ahead. UFC have also been very quiet because this will be tens, maybe hundreds of million of dollars lost, UFC 190 is in Rio which many will know McGregor is about as welcome as AIDS there, UFC 191 is actually at Vegas but it's the same venue and 1 week before Floyd Mayweather's final ever fight so the interest in that one is expected to be low so there isn't a new date until atleast October. There's been suggestions of McGregor vs Chad Mendes but should McGregor lose that, UFC have just lost their money-cow - People still forget he's still a rookie in the UFC octagon.

Jose Aldo has a serious track record of "being injured" - He's pulled out of UFC 125, UFC 149, UFC 153, and UFC 176. He's a bit of a coward. Worth mentioning Cathal Pendred has been added to the UFC 189 card as of yesterday

That's still pretty weak considering Cathel Pandred is about to have his 5th in 11 months. I think his track record and revenue lost are major factors in their decision to strip him if he doesn't fight. No dodging fights in this sport

7 title fights between April 2011 and October 14 isnt too bad .if the McGregor fight goes ahead on July it will be 8 fights in approx 51 months. Pointless comparing Aldo to Pendred ,Aldo is a title holder and is gonna pick and choose who he fights,Pendred is taking any fight he gets to build a name/record. A better comparison would be when Aldo joined WEC,he had 5 fights in a year basically the very same as Pendred now.

Jose Aldo's biggest weakness now is the fact UFC made public what the exact injury was - Bruised bone and cartilage injury If surgery isn't required for the cartilage injury and the bout goes ahead, Conor knows exactly where to target. I'd still put him as a slight outsider but the statement UFC put out literally gave him the game plan.

A man his size cutting down to that weight can't fight again that soon after a fight, it would take too much of a toll on the body IMO. Had a sneaky feeling Mendes would be a tougher fight for McGregor but hopefully it won't be. It's an awful shame the fight won't happen as the build up was brilliant and it'll be very difficult to replicate that build up if they ever do fight, even if McGregor wins the interim title. At least he's going to fight a big name rather than some randomer outside the top 10. ------------- Jimmy Bullard - "Favorite band? Elastic." |

Mendes could cause mcgregor sone bother.

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. Disappointed it's off but this will be a cracker too. As said, UFC creaming themself for a McGregor win with Aldo due to return around October, I think they were saying? Also, man has urine sample destroyed, then pulls out of fight with hurt rib..

The biggest change in Conor's mindset right now is he has 8 days to come up with a completely new gameplan; Aldo was all about a passive BJJ game, he was extremely good at it Mendes is all about punching you in the face as hard as he can. A slight difference in fighting styles

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.
Very disappointing that he won't be taking on John Aldridge but should be a great fight none-the-less.

Don't expect McGregor to be there. If he wins his next fight will be at the same venue in Vegas in October. I can imagine Joe Duffy, Cathel Pandred etc to be there though. Speaking of Joe Duffy if McGregor wins I fully expect him to enter the Featherweight division - McGregor vs Duffy at Croke Park would be the dream scenario.

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. Now, the boxing system has loads of flaws mainly down to the multiple organisations and how they can rank about (WBA had a bloke in their June rankings who had unfortunately died some time earlier) but at the same time, the multiple organisations mean that generally the best guys do make it to the top as if one organisation were to artificially rank somebody, the others wouldn't etc. In the UFC, is it solely at the discretion of Dana White & Co where people are ranked ? For example, lets imagine McGregor is beaten by Mendes. In boxing, you'd probably have to have 2 or 3 fights to rebuild before getting another world title shot. In the UFC, could they still rank him at his current ranking and throw him in with Aldo next time if they felt like it ?? |
Posted By: coyne
Date Posted: 01 Jul 2015 at 2:45pm
Yes and yes. There is no individual federations who have their own rankings in UFC. Just their own official rankings. Conor is currently Ranked #4 in his division, which was the main criticism about him getting his title shot with Aldo - People thought he should of went through Ricardo Lamas and Ched Mandes who are #2 and #3 respectively beforehand.

It doesn't at all. It amuses me. Another question. Do you think Judo and Olympic wrestling are ridiculous activities? ------------- http://giant.gfycat.com/LimpLittleArabianoryx.gif |

Certainly less ridiculous than UFC, as are foxy boxing and hot oil wrestling. ------------- Edited by Trigboy 10 at 10:03pm |

Oh, and you're right, UFC is NOT a sport! It is a promotion company, though. ------------- http://giant.gfycat.com/LimpLittleArabianoryx.gif |

I thought they were poorly judged signings by Manchester City, to be honest - it was clear they were only signed for marketing purposes in Asia. Kevin Keegan really had no control over the situation and it wasn't a surprise to see him resign with crap players being signed over his head like that. So yes, it was ridiculous activity from the Manchester City board. ------------- Edited by Trigboy 10 at 10:03pm |

A so called "sport" that's run by Dana. Says it all. It really does take all kinds of everything. ------------- Edited by Trigboy 10 at 10:03pm |

| I'd rather have a Sport ran by Dana White than a one by Eddie Hearn or Frank Warren, whatever he/she/it is called nowadays |
