Gunnar Nelson is one of my favourite fighters. His jiu jitsu is one of, if not THE, best in MMA

He is immense, mentally you cant beat him, and he is almost unbeatable on the floor. He is a real country guy too, calm and stays away from the limelight.

Dick move by McGregor at the start there.

Is this a title fight? It's 5 rounds.

[meffin]

No- headline fights are also 5 rounds

[Gibbo]

Mcgregor will fight Guida next I reckon. That will be a tough old fight for him.

Kid looks good but he still needs a couple more bottom end top 10 - 15 fights.

Mcgregor is fighting Poirier at UFC 178 (The Jones Gustafsson rematch)

Mcgregor is fighting Poirier at UFC 178 (The Jones Gustafsson rematch)

This will test McGregor.

[Gibbo]

Deffo, Dustin is a tough guy. I will really jump on the Mcgregor train if he puts a performance in.

Believe it or not he's a year younger than McGregor so this fight will mean just as much to him. Still reckon Guida will be next for Connor win or lose.

[Gibbo]

Gustafsson torn his ACL and out of the rematch with Jones - Cormier in.

[Gibbo]

It's a long way away, but honestly guys, if you've never watched MMA before. On September 27th set your Sky box to record UFC 178

Jon Jones vs. Daniel Cormier
Tim Kennedy vs. Yoel Romero
Dominick Cruz vs. Takeya Mizugaki
Conor McGregor vs. Dustin Poirier
Cat Zingano vs. Amanda Nunes
John Howard vs. Brian Ebersole
Stephen Thompson vs. Patrick Cote
Bobby Green vs. Jorge Masvidal

And they're trying to get Eddie Alvarez vs. Donald Cerrone sorted too - that is probably the most stacked card you are ever going to see. The Mcgregor and Cruz fights would be main events on any fight night card, as would the Cerrone one if it gets made. Zigano's debut and another chance to see Bobby Green who was in top form the other night.

And of course Jones vs Cormier, I've no idea how that fight is going to go at all.

Really really excited for it.

[meffin]

So Silva V Diaz then..?

[Alex]

Anyone see it going off at the press conference between Cormier and Jones? Jon Jones took a swing, and if that had connected there wouldn't have been a fight. Jesus, it was like a rocket

[fah-q]

I see War Machine has beaten his former girlfriend, Porn Star Christy Mack, and gone on the run.

[PTP]

aye it's pretty shocking.

the guy is still tweeting whilst on the run saying **** like it wasn't his fault

[Hollowman]

He said he had to fight for his life. Clearly, Mack launched a terrifying assault on his fists and feet with her face. He was lucky to escape with only a broken heart.
