The whole trilogy stuff is boring to me at this stage. I doubt DC will retire on a loss tbh

I can see him trying for Stipe again as it's probably a safer bet than Jones for him.  But I'm not overly interested in seeing either again just like Nate v McGregor. I'd rather watch the divisions fight correctly and stop all this fuckin around with trilogies and changing weight classes for two belts etc

Great to see Nate back and delighted for Stipe what a gent.

So do you think we will see Cormier Miocic 3 ? All the talk of retiring and whatnot.  The Jones loses and now this will surely eat st him. Having said that he seems to have enough outside of the cage to keep him busy.  I would still love to see DC smash Jones.

Jones would beat him again which is why he won't fight him. I think he will take a few months out then try for a Stipe rematch then win or lose that he will retire. Nobody else for Stipe to really fight anyway the only one is Francis and I think Stipe would easily beat him again.



Ken Shamrock having his first bare knuckle PPV next month and he's fighting Mark Coleman in the main event. Mark Kerr is making a comeback for it as well. Guy Mezger is suppose to fighting at it also. I know some people will say they are all too old but I am looking forward I love BKFC so I think this will be great. Ken is still in great shape. Think ill pay for the PPV as well since the money is going to Ken and not some wanker like Dana White and it's also only something like $20.

Actually wanted to watch andrade v zhang but so used to 2ams I fucked up time zones.
Was not expecting a loss like that.. Wrecked her with clinch /knees. I'd say UFC are delighted she got the win in China for the market there.

So 242 is PPV as well seems BT hasn't learned it's lesson. They think because it will air at a decent time that they are justified in charging for it. I am glad my IPTV has sky box office as well.

Were the buyrates for the last bt Ppv published ? I'd love to know how many paid for it. This card is looks to be weaker on paper anyway.

[mickO)))]

No they never published them but the general consensus seems to be that they lost out big time because a lot of long time subscribers canceled.  It seems to be the time that it will air at that has them thinking they will make money.

I can't watch it live so will have to stay away from my phone all day and then also have Bellator 226 that night which I will want to watch live gonna be a nightmare.

Just watched the main card. Most of the lead up fights were dull enough to me.

Felder V Barbosa was quite good. I thought that last take down would probably secure a decision win for barbosa but nope. He looked pretty pissed and surprised with the decision.
Some very odd scoring but sure that's what happens when it's left to the judges.. fair fucks to felder

Sadly Dustin V Khalabib went as everyone pretty much thought. He rocked him a bit in the middle but couldn't keep it going. And jesus fucking wept the anxiety I got when he locked the guillotine in    Then the slippery little fucker got out. A mix of skill/sweat and Dustin been wrecked. He looked super tired going into round 2 but sure the fucking heat/humidity was meant to have been unreal there. All the journalists there were talking about how fucked they were just sitting there typing never mind in the ring.

Great respect from both of them at the end which is always good to see. But I honestly thought Khabib was jumping the ring and going to beat up Dana at first 

Gotta be Tony next.. maybe 103rd times a charm and it will actually happen.

Main event was ok but basically went as expected. Khabib is one of my favourites but I felt so bad for Dustin he seems like such a down to earth bloke but no matter what he does he will never be able for Khabib. Nate Vs Masvidal should be good.

Bellator was a disappointment good event overall but the first stoppage for the Bader eye poke was shit.

I just happened to run into Rafael Lovato Jr. on the street yesterday an absolute gent. I wasn't sure if it was him at first because I wasn't sure why he would be where he was so I had to wait a few minutes before approaching him he was on holiday with his brother and his wife.

[Pedrito]

I follow Lovato Jr on Instagram(jesus did I just say that?), and his wife is a fine bit o schtuff. Always comes across like a gent.

[mickO)))]

Yes she has that central / south America look. He said he will have his first title defence early next year.

A lad I know from Drogheda is making his Bellator debut in Dublin at the end of the month.

[Pedrito]

What's his name? I'm from the Drog

[mickO)))]

Ciaran Clarke he's from Yellowbatter.

[Pedrito]

No he's from Yellobahhuh  fair play to him that's class

[mickO)))]

I was home for the fleadh and was talking to him he's excited. He signed with them last November for a four fight deal. They wanted to him to sign a few years ago but he wanted to get more amateur experience first.

I read this morning that Tyron Woodley wants to fight Khabib at catchweight. The whole lot of them reckon they have the answer fir beating them. Now that it's a couple of weeks removed I'd like to hear Porier's thoughts on the pressure and misery that Khabib brings.
Still whispers of GSP taking him on. If anyone could nullify him it's him.
