    Brilliant finish from Poirier.

    Great heart from Eddie to hang in there as long as he did.

    Bidding got too high for them. Went to some new channel called Eleven Sports. They've also outbid BT for the NBA and Serie A, and took La Liga off Sky as well.

    Madness, this mob better not make a * of things. I seen they want to become "The Netflix of live sport" so that wouldn't be too bad if they end up with the rights to basically everything good and their channels are on an app or something to watch on TV easy.

    Could be good

    Just looking them up and they have the UK rights to La Liga, Serie A, Eredivisie, Allsvenskan, Chinese Super League, MLS, and now supposedly NBA and UFC now. Pretty good selectionand rumoured to only be £69.99 for a year or £7.99 per month. If they get the Scottish League which they might now then since they are hoovering up everything then i'd cancel Sky Sports.

    McGregor could fight the biggest * on the roster and it would be interesting!

    The guy brings the interest wherever he goes.

    McGregor vs Khabib
    Diaz vs Poirier

    Almost a guarentee at this point. We've got ourselves a mini tournament. :67:

    Good comeback opponent for Nate and definitely a winnable fight. I could see Nate lighting DP up on the feet and schooling him on the ground.

    Nate/Poirier and Rockhold/Weidman at 230.

    If Nate Poirier isn't a five rounder it's a sin

    Diaz/Poirier will be a full on war, will be a far better fight than Conor/Khabib which will be 25 minutes of watching Khabib attempting to be or actually being on top of McGregor. Unless McGregor cleans him out of there quickly, which is unlikely.

    Still wish they were doing the Khabib Conor fight in Russia.
