How are people watching the fights tomorrow? I'm out of pocket for the pm so can't watch live but want to watch later in the evening. Will fight pass have replays?

 

[Krappadizzle]

Khabib's weight cut seemed like it was really tough. I wonder if that'll have an impact on the fight.

 

[Biff]

Eh he weighed in at 155, even if the scale didn't stabilize all the way he still had one pound of leeway left.

Championship fights don't have leeway. 155.0 is the maximum.

But I think it's all a non-event. He opted to weigh in first to maximize the time he would have to make weight after failing. So the way the scale moved he was probably 155.5 or maybe 156.0. He can easily shed that weight in the allotted two-hour window by throwing up or taking a diuretic or whatever trick they have. To be clear, he should have had to go through the suck of last-ditch weight cut, but ultimately I doubt it will matter for the fight.

The odds on Gaethje seem really off.
I do probably expect Khabib to win but £20 on Gaethje almost gets me £80 back.
If Khabib has had a tough weight cut then I think it'll be much more competitive then those odds suggest.

 

[GymWolf]

That mike dolce tweet is some tesseract level of poetry, i shit you not.

Should I bet my wife’s life savings on gaethje?

Should I bet my wife’s life savings on gaethje?

Should you bet someone else's money?
Of course, what do you have to lose?

If you want to win her more, go for Gaethje by first round KO. Your wife can thank me later.

 

[Carton]

I keep vacillating on Khabib v Gaethje, but I am going to pick a Gaethje upset. I don’t think Gaethje is better than Khabib, they are both capable of winning, but Khabib had a particularly drained appearance at the weigh-in, which may translate to more trouble with the takedowns/keeping Gaethje down, and he will have to deal with a damaging set of hands. Gaethje by decision.

Unfortunately, I think Whittaker is going to lose by KO. I know he says he was burnt out, but I just don’t think his chin is the same and he has appeared less fluid in movement in his last 2 fights. I sincerely hope he proves me wrong.

This card is at an awful time for me. I will be well and truly asleep, but I know my subconscious is going to wake me and try to fool me into checking results. I’ll try to resist and catch the replay without spoilers.

 

[Cunth]

Main card starts at 5am for me. I’ve already told my kids that when they wake up I’ll be in a work meeting in the study so they can’t come in. On a Sunday morning

 

[bronk]

11am start time here. Few of us gonna be at my buddies beers in hand at the start. Im making chorizo burritos for everyone too. Can't wait.

 

[Jill Valentine]

Forgot it's in Dubai and I don't need to wait to watch the replay tomorrow morning. Fuck yo American start times.

 

[Ornlu]

 

[SpiceRacz]

Looks like I'm gettin' started early today.

 

[Ornlu]

Surprised Jung is getting tagged as much as he is.

 

[Night.Ninja]

He definitely missed weight.

 

[pauljeremiah]

Love how BT Sports keeps advertising for the PPV during the PPV.

 

[KingdomHeartsFan]

That fight was insane. Round 1 had a crazy pace.

 

[TrainedRage]

Tall man vs Fat man fight is pretty funny.


Lol welp.

 

[SidViscous]

Tall man vs Fat man fight is pretty funny.


Lol welp.

It's like a 90s arcade game match-up.

BT were not prepared for all these one round finishers, just repeating the same PPV ad over and over.

 

[Night.Ninja]

Any links? i didn't realise this was box office

 

[Cunth]

lets go boys! and by boys i mean ufc. fucking start the fights already

 

[TrainedRage]

duuuuuude


This card lmfao wow.

 

[Cunth]

Smashed. I have a feeling there is gonna be some long waits between fights

 

[Unknown Quantity]

Savage start to the main. Don't think we need a 3rd.

 

[KingdomHeartsFan]

Savage start to the main. Don't think we need a 3rd.

Naw run it back, he was just playing possum.

 

[Cunth]

[KingdomHeartsFan]

why was this fight on the main card

I'm still trying to figure out why is this bitch thinking she deserves a title shot after beating someone in their first fight in the UFC.

 

[SidViscous]

Maybe I shouldn't have paid for this PPV...

 

[Cunth]

jesus christ

 

[TrainedRage]

ANOTHER ONE!!!

 

[Cunth]

just have them start lining up ringside

 

[Unknown Quantity]

I'm still trying to figure out why is this bitch thinking she deserves a title shot after beating someone in their first fight in the UFC.

Andrade came in & smashed the No1 contender. & she wants a shot lol.

Heavy hands & KO. 1st round KOs in fashion...

 

[SidViscous]

bet you this won't last 40 seconds either

 

[SidViscous]

Volkov looking sharp with those combinations, harris looking like he's trying to get wii-fit or something with those huge swings.

 

[Cunth]

Harris is gaaassed

 

[Cunth]

Welp. Let’s hope Whittaker gets a quick one too

 

[Ornlu]

I've never seen someone go down from a shot right to the front like that; usually the liver shot is from a hook to the side.

 

[TrainedRage]

That kick would have made me shit blood for weeks.

 

[Cunth]

Winner takes all the infinity stones

Looks like he got him between the ribs, bruised maybe but by the time the pain subsides the ref calls it. Good work rate from Volk.

 

[SidViscous]

Whittaker's accent throws me off everytime, it's like a bad dub.

 

[Unknown Quantity]

Cannonier takes this imo.

 

[bronk]

Im drunk. It's been a great time. Four burritos deep. Love UFC at this time.

 

[Ornlu]

Cannonier takes this imo.

I'm gonna root for Charlie Murphy, too. Always root against cheesy tattoos!

 

[Cunth]

Cannonier needs a ko now

 

[KingdomHeartsFan]

Cannonier can't seem to do anything aside from leg kicks. He better land a hail mary shot this round otherwise this ones over.

 

[Unknown Quantity]

2 - 0 Whittaker, need a finish bub.

 

[SidViscous]

His face is looking worse than whittakers knee, oof.

 

[Ornlu]

Fantastic fight! Both men fought a great fight.
