3 Title fights? Pulling out all the stops for MSG on the first time then.

Its odd, but WWE doesnt run there anymore. Too much money to put TV events on apparently. I guess its a prestige thing for UFC to go there. But most now use the Barclays Centre for these sorts of event. They are only a few minutes drive apart.

Its their first card in New York ... they are going Big ... it does not get much bigger than the Garden in terms of combat sports

that will be fun ....

McGregor vs Alvarez at 205.

[Nicey]

Still a fun fight all the same ...I'll tune in

Oh yeah, he will never get to even half the level of Henderson. Its funny to think about how old he is though

Henderson v Bisping was on UFC 100. Hardly a top level fight, but its money like you say.

[spud_gun]

For context he is 8 years younger than Dan Henderson. Who is main eventing the next UFC PPV

Come on we all know that Hendo doesn't deserve that fight. It's a money fight and nothing else.

In saying that Punk could train 24/7 for the next 8 years and still wouldn't be half the fighter that Hendo currently is never mind was.

Hendo is one of the MMA GOATs.

Punk is too old to do that.

I think the UFC will get him in for the Belfast card.

Can't see people taking him seriously, maybe of his appearance...His hair though!

Paddy is a very good fighter. Going on to big things.

Won the cage warriors title last night and started a singalong to "justice for the 96"

Fair play to him.

His next fight shouldn't be in the UFC though. Maybe step down and get a couple under his belt. These guys have been fighting all their lives, he's been doing it for 2 years.
