Time for the main card. First PPV in a long time where I am excited about every single fight.

Right? Really looking forward to Maia/Gunnar myself, but both title fights are interesting, I love me some Jacare, and the kickoff fight should be a good bit of fun.

[LAM09]

Intrigued to see whether McGregor can deliver tonight after all the trash talk.

 

[Baldwin_the_First]

Holloway is a champion to be.

 

[Yaari]

I've grown so tired of Bruce Buffer. Bleh.

 

[weekev]

Yeah Holloway is gonna knock him out in 2, great fight to kick off I reckon.

 

[Poody]

Did Golberg just say that Holloway would fight Pettis next?

 

[Baldwin_the_First]

I've grown so tired of Bruce Buffer. Bleh.

I grew tired of his brother Michael Buffer.. goes to say I'm tired of bruce Buffer too. lol

Seven million? From where? Source?

McGregor himself revealed the information that he will be making around $7 million from his nights work but thats a far cry for even one of the most hyped UFC fight because McGragors final payout from 12 december fight depend alot on how the UFC 194 perform PPV buys wise. Because of his PPV tier based contract he will be getting $3 for every PPV sold if the numbers are between 300,000 to 500,000 and anything above 700K buys McGragor will earn $4 or even $5 for every PPV sold.

[Messi]

I really hope Mcgregor wins. I know most people hate him but I like all his antics.

I doubt the antics would stop even if he loses. That's just how mcgregor is.

 

[Baldwin_the_First]

Spinning back kick from Holloway coming anytime soon now. ANYTIME.

 

[-MD-]

Yeah waiting for Max to throw some spinning shit.

First round could really go to either guy.

 

[BLOODED_hands]

Tough round to score. Both didn't do too much. Giving it to Stephens for sort of trying to push the fight.

 

[weekev]

you love BS antics, no wonder you like hearing the same shit over n' over haha.

I just think it all adds to the spectacle. Its like Christmas, every year I get excited the first time I hear Fairytale of New York on the radio. On UFC fight night I get excited when I hear "Ladieeeeees aaaaaaaaaaand agentlemeeeeeen, weee are LIIIIIIIIIIVE"
It appeals to the big kid in me, as does McGregor.

 

[BSsBrolly]

I hope these two don't set the tone for threat of the night...

 

[Yaari]

Joe Martinez is a much better announcer IMO.

Haha no worries I understand, first and only time I went to a UFC event in montreal and I heard that precise line, I got chills so much it was great.


SPINNING!

 

[BLOODED_hands]

One thing I hate about fighters that are in the works are that they play it too safe. That's what's happening right now.

 

[weekev]

Spinning but caught, its like Stephens has been desperate for him to try that shit.

 

[Baldwin_the_First]

One thing I hate about fighters that are in the works are that they play it too safe. That's what's happening right now.

That's not being too safe, that's called studying your opponent and not going in recklessly. I get wars are more entertaining but I personally love chess fights.

Jeremy's been known to sometimes grind on his opponents though, so when he's on the side of the cage or on top in full guard or half guard it can get boring real fast.

 

[Guru-Guru]

Boring shit. Somebody better go for it in the 3rd.

 

[weekev]

Hard to call so far. Both gonna need to go for it now.

 

[Baldwin_the_First]

nice trip.

SUB! Holloway is crafty with his chokes, hes getting it.

ah fuck.

 

[Archer]

Holloway has this.

No, I understand. I love it actually! But you gotta know that's boring for the "general" audiences

Stephens outclassed right now. Holloway via unanimous decision. Stephens took too long to figure Holloway out.

 

[Baldwin_the_First]

Gotta stay out of the pocket though, Stephens always dangerous.

That left hook there before the bell rang that Holloway got in, damn!!

 

[weekev]

Jeremy REALLY needs to go for it now.

 

[Fitts]

Max turns in another mature performance. Well done.

He really needs to work kicks into his striking better if he wants to break through to the next level, though.

 

[FUME5]

Holloway getting better.

 

[SRTtoZ]

Not impressed with either of them honestly. Just make Bermudez Stephens II and call it a day.
