It's not clear, some people saying they didn't get the email. BT Sport deal so it could just be a UK & Ireland thing.

Is there a UFC Nate doll with real give-a-poo poo action yet?

I'm a big Conor fan but it drives me up the wall that he says "KO'd unconscious" instead of "KO'd"

The worst thing going about BT sport is how if you watch them on the website they always have the knockout shot, or sometimes the end of fight hand raise as the image for the video. So its literally impossible to not spoil the fight before you see it, even if you manage to ignore the news banners everywhere that also spoil the fights.

I got the email in England. Based on the title it is only a uk thing. Honestly it sounds pretty alright. I'll take being able to watch fights monday night instead of staying up until 6am. It's not as though MMA is so mainstream that it is impossible to escape the results. Just need to avoid this subforum for a day.

I could never buy the PPVs on fightpass anyway.

It's likely a licensing deal with BT sport that they have exclusive UFC main event access in England and Ireland.

That's not a bad deal though I dunno if I still have my Pride-era internet discipline. Plus I have usenet access and the stamina to stay up to 3AM if it was really a money issue.

How often do the UFC announce cuts? Just ad-hoc as they're decided or do they have two or three big culls per year?

What I'm getting around to is that surely after Artem Lobov loses again at 202, surely, surely they drop him. No matter who he's friends with.

Surely.

There's no particular timings to it from the best of my knowledge. The size of the roster and the amount of events they do these days means it's just a periodic thing to announce cuts.

Also, I have a free BT Sport app User/Pass if anyone is interested. I already subscribe through SKY but my phone carrier has just signed a deal with them so are offering free use of the app.

Woodley sucks, let GSP style on him and then have GSP fight Wonderboy for the belt. Woodley will no longer be champ and Wonderboy gets to fight a much more high profile opponent for the belt.

i meant what was the origin of it, but i found the thing about him saying something at a press conference. i am now seeing that tons of wrestlers came out and went "diaz beat the poo poo out of you and is gonna beat the poo poo out of you again" so i'm pleased.

I wonder what new and interesting way he'll be "reborn" this time. We've had Good Christian Jon Jones, "got a lot of soul searching to do" Jones, powerlifter Jones, who can say what will be next.

Hopefully we just get Gone Jones.

Edit: Brock's gone as well.

Conor McGregor would easily beat Brock Lesnar, didn't you see him style on that actor? He's the greatest fighter in the history of the world, even though I had no idea who he or any other MMA fighter was nine months ago.

I really can't wait until the next really popular fighter comes along and drives tons of hilarious first time posts.

I wonder what kind of crazy hijinx he will get into now that he has no financial incentive to be in the gym all the time. I imagine he'll have a lot of free time. It's gonna be a good two years.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
