Crazy night both ending in being choked out as well!

It was sad to see Connor get beat that quickly/efficiently but he took a shot and it didn't pay off! Just one of those things.

Holm looked sooooo gutted bless her but it is what it is, she again took a shot and lost. These things happen. It was very strange tho how she could dominate Rousey soooooo hard but inflict no real damage on Tate.

Yeh shame about McGregor, certainly seemed to get hurt easy and he gave his back so quickly on ground. But he was winning and doing some damage. Guess it was just too big a step up. Be interesting to see what's next for him.

All about game plan in the other fight. Rousey tried to walk through Holly and got schooled. Tate knew to keep her distance and just be relentless with the takedown attempts. So we can look forward to Rousey v Tate III and Rousey v Holm II.

I cant help but find it a bit amusing. I like Connor but the way he goes on is a bit much, where is the sportsmanship? Do these guys really need to be so aggressive wanting to kill each other? I think he is a great fighter and I do enjoy watching the actual fights, but in that video that Harvie posted, the whole thing just seems pathetic really, even more so now he has lost.

This made me laugh from Tyson Fury earlier though Giggle

He's just trolling to build up hype and increase the amount of money he gets paid. He is the first UFC fighter to ever get paid $1million for a fight.

There's been much bigger matches in the UFC history than this but because he's able to promote effectively, he makes more $$$.

In a sport where you have around 5-7 years at the top, while I do get annoyed at everything he says, he's really smart for doing it.

You are probably right to be fair. I don't doubt that he is an intelligent guy. Still a bit funny though Smile
