    That Woodley v Thompson was a cracker.

    How Thompson survived round 4 is a miracle.....tough lad.

    No long up and watched it..

    "I wanna take this moment to apologise to absolutely no one" :rofl:

    Apart from one right hand he ate, his defence was class. Couldn't miss with those left hand's. Bossed and bullied Alvarez..

    Unbelievable support..

    His other announcement was he wants a major slice of ownership of the UFC.

    Watching it back, I wonder what might have happened had Alvarez persevered with the kicks to Conor's lead leg? Still, a flawless performance, and it shows you how tough Nate is and also how his height and reach took a lot out of McGregor's left hand.

    Probably for swearing since it was 6.30am in the UK. The full interview is on the UFC YouTube channel uncensored.

    I don't think he's doing that walk to look or act hard. If anything it's just I don't give a * stride, even a *-take..

    Looks like his take on the Vince McMahon strut.

    You've probably partly answered it.

    He is a hard * who does not give a * and is walking round like he is king of the UFC.

    Just watched it all back, McGregor was always going to outbox him surprised Alvarez didn't go defensive and go for take downs but then McGregor defended well. That left hook is just deadly, just goes to show how many big hits Diaz can take and not affect him.
    The Woodley - Thompson fight was brilliant.

    Looked excellent last night. Alvarez was disappointing, I had a feeling he would be in trouble when he suggested he could hand with mcgregor in terms of stand up during one of the interviews before the fight. McGregor was able to measure up how rear hand from the opening bell and Alvarez either didn't see it or just couldn't do anything about it, my guess is the latter. Wonder what's next for Conor, I can't see him at featherweight again.

    On another note, the ending to the Thompson fight was farcical. I knew as soon as they'd read out the scores and result that it should've been an MD draw, but wasn't sure who had * up. Think the announcer was aware of what was going on as you saw him go speak to the judges before he announced the winner.

    The Wonderboy vs Woodly fight was a classic one of the best fights of the year. Wonderboy just does not know when to quit, and credit to Woodley everyone seems to underrate him but he won't be giving up that belt easily. I think Wonderboy could still become a legend of the sport but he is going to have to get his tactics spot on if there is a rematch. Conor looked invincible, and I think his boxing has improved since the Diaz fight I don't see Diaz being able to take them shots like he did last time. Khabib domination on the ground is like nothing I have ever seen but he stand up defence looked poor he took some big shots and you have to wonder if that was Conor would Khabib be still standing. A fight between those two the winner would be the one that got his tactics spot on as if Conor gets taken to the ground he will struggle to to get up and if Khabib is struggling to get Conor down he is also *, that would be chess match.
