Schevchenko put on a striking masterclass against Holm. Very impressed. The rematch with Nunez will be fascinating. Both will be interesting opponents for when Rousey returns.

201 was an exciting event to watch
Multiple great fights and numerous quick devastating stoppages (puts 200 to shame)

Yeah if Connor gets past Diaz, he should stay at the lower divisions, he will get fucked up if he tries fighting for the welterweight title. Having said that if CM punk can make an impact I'd love to see McGregor fight him, just for the press conferences.

Is CM Punk good on the mic?

Mcgregor called WWE stars a bunch of fucking passes, saying he could swat their heads off...
Needless to say, backlash is endless.
He wouldn't last 10 mins against some of them!!

I thought this was confirmed 2 weeks ago?

I think its the best fight out there for Bisping (and Hendo for that matter)

The first fight and TUF series in general is somewhat legendary in terms of UFC status so I'm in no doubt this rematch will peak a lot of interest

Shame it's not at the o2. I can't really be arsed to go to Manchester for it

My wife to be though did surprise me with UFC 202 tickets for this Saturday and we will be watching at the T Mobile arena for the first time just 3 days before our wedding in the MGM Grand

Can't wait

It was rumoured for a while but only confirmed yesterday. The main card starts at 3am UK time though so to favour the US audience.

Great present that. I would love to visit Las Vegas one day so watching UFC while there would be perfect. I think we'll see the best Conor yet for this one and there's likely going to be a big KO between Johnson and Teixeira.

Atmosphere for 202 should be amazing. I hope conor wins just to keep the story going.

Yea I'm really looking forward to it

My Mrs is a big ufc fan too so it will be great I expect

We went before to the mgm to see ufc 114 rampage vs rashad after having watched the entire TUF season between the two

I'd certainly recommend you go to an event out there at some point, it's a great experience and the atmosphere was amazing

But to be honest with you we spent 300 pound for each ticket so 600 quid for the event and you actually get a much better view of the action on the screens than watching the octagon itself (same at the o2 really)

The tickets for 202 have cost even more so I'm hopeful we will have a better view and that the new arena might be better fit for purpose in terms of viewing

But for the atmosphere and experience id say a big fan such as yourself should go to a live event in vegas at least once

Yeah I'm hoping for a trilogy
A trilogy would be the most exciting option from a fan stand point

But even if Nate starches him again it opens up some interesting fights

It would continue to raise the diaz bros profile and with nick coming back that could be very exciting (next is one of my favourite all time fighters)

And connor would defend his belt against Aldo which could easily be built up in to a big event again

A conor win and a third epic fight could make this the mma version of gatti/ward

I just hope for an exciting fight and card in general

We just met nate diaz in the lobby of the mgm grand

He was getting mobbed by about 30 people circled around him trying to get photos

As he broke away with his minder (not a body guard but not someone I recognised from ceaser gracie) my gf chased him down and told him we were getting married and asked if he would take a photo with us

He kindly agreed even though he looked really uncomfortable with the attention he was getting

Unfortunately as we went to pose for the pic about 6 guys swamed in and started trying to talk to him and asking for photos too

With that his minder pulled him away and our photo never happen. Pretty much sucks but still nice to see him and my Mrs is excited to have spoken to him

Is CM Punk good on the mic?
Very, very good on the mic but even though he is still using the wwe CM punk name he doesn't do promos outside of wrestling although I did see one that was directed to Chris Brown basically telling him to take him on instead of hitting defenseless women. Generally in interviews outside the ring, what comes over is his intelligence.

Something tells me that Connor isn't that keen to go back to feather weight.

Looks like Jones will be back soon, I saw his Instagram video and he could hardly stop smiling , he didn't give details but he said he would be back soon. Just seen an interview with White with him backing what Jones says while again not giving away details, he said Jones has got 12 lives. Jones is such a smarmy lucky git. I don't think he should be allowed to walk back straight into a title match with DC, he should fight the winner of AJ v GT , hopefully the winner will be AJ and AJ will knock his arse out, take that smug look off his face.

Will he even be able to if he wants to?

He's put on a fair amount of lean muscle mass and last time he cut down for the limit he looked like the walking dead so I can only imagine it would be even harder to get down having to experience muscle atrophy on top of what he had to lose to make weight already for the aldo fight

I wouldn't be surprised to see him making a Mayweather type cameo in the wwe after all his verbal attacks aimed at the roster there
