If I was a heel it would be 'Crying Out' by Shinedown I think. It was always on I'm the background when I was training years ago.

 

As something that would get fans going, 'Dance Macabre' by Ghost has a really annoying, infectious intro...

Dance macabre is a great shout but I would argue square hammer or even possibly rats would be a better shout.

For a heel year zero would be great for the right character 

WOW well this show was an absolute SLOG to watch live and I cannot genuinely remember the last time I've said this about a UFC show.

It felt more like a MMA talk show than a live card at numerous times throughout the night. (I only watched it live because I'm heavily sunburnt and couldn't sleep)
I actually made a note within the first 2 hours and 20 minutes of the show 55 minutes was just talking/hyping/video packages.

That being said there were some decent fights throughout the night. 

Francisco Figueiredo vs Malcolm Gordon
I'm literally only mentioning this fight because Mini Figgy was fighting again and once again he showed 0 levels of talent compared to his brother. I completely agreed with the judges on this one. I gave figgy round 1 and round's 2/3 to Gordon. I don't know how long they will keep Mini Figgy around for but so far he has shown nothing special and is coming off this loss and his only win was by judges decision so nothing spectacular or highlight reel by any stretch.

Billy Quarantillo vs Gabriel Benitez
Won fight of the night and rightly so, It was an absolute slugfest from start to finish. 

Mateusz Gamrot vs Jeremy Stephens
Was absolutely jawdropping I like many other people had Stephens down to win this fight and he lost not only by submission in the first minute of the fight but to add insult to injury he didn't throw a SINGLE shot. Immediately taken down and submitted which was mind blowing. Stephens is now coming off a 6 fight loosing streak and his last win was in Feb 2018 so he really did need to win last night or at the very least show some reason why he should be kept around but he really didn't 

Miesha Tate vs Marion Reneau
It was absolutely lovely to see Miesha back and while I believe she had abit of ring rust in the first round she seemed hesitant to really throw anything and push forward that completely changed in the second and subsequently third where she got the win. It did look like Reneau almost gave up in the third round even the commentary said as much but she retired as we welcomed back Tate. That being said she mentioned she wanted a couple more fights then she wants to go for the belt. In the nicest possible way she has 0 chance of winning against Nunes now. Not that Tate is bad or not at a certain level its more that Nunes is just THAT GOOD.

Islam Makhachev vs Thiago Moises
This was never going to be a fireworks main event, This was a true test for Makhachev and he went into each and every round with patience and a clear cut gameplan before getting the submission victory in the 4th round which was very well deserved and it's interesting too see where he goes from here. He has alot of hype around him being the next Khabbib and while i see why that's being said......I think he still has a way to go before he gets near Khabbib's level. But he's on his way.

I mean I was up anyway so it's not like I went out my way to watch it live but this show was the hardest and most irritating I've watched in a long long time. If they don't have enough fights on the card to have the show start at say 12pm open up little bit of talk about the main event and main card but then fire into fights until the end, They have to look at maybe pushing back the start time or whatever because the entire night felt disjointed and like I said a MMA talk show, Not a live fight card. 

There are so many I could go with but if I was a heel it would be the path by fit for a king.

If I was a face I would probably go with come and get it by I prevail 

Fucking hell this is getting hard to watch now. It's been break after break after break with a million and one promo packages and talk about the main and co main. I understand you have to hype it up but Fucking hell this is ridiculous. 

Out of the past 2 and a half hours at least 50 minutes has been talking and video packages. 

Gutted you can tell its a come.down show as the prelims don't start until 12 they normally start at 11

How the hell is matt mitrione still signed and going. he's now on a 6 fight loosing streak? And last night he did nothing at all in terms of offence or defence. He just curled up and seemingly gave up. 

I genuinely think it's a smart move to mention a wrestlers wage and bring that aspect into it because it makes it more relatable to a legitimate sport that way. E.G in the ufc if you win you get more money and certain benefits as you climb the ladder.

It's effective and smart 

Wow unbelievably sad news.

R.I.P Paul orndorff one of the greats.

The one thing I really want to know is what Conor said to Joe Rogan at the end of the post fight interview because at the start he wanted to have his say then seemingly he said something to Joe that seemed like get the fucking mic out of my face or something like that but aimed at Joe himself because Joe said thats fine I'm going and started to fumble back to his feet.

Yeah not how we wanted it to end but If it went to the second round we would have seen yet another big KO from Dustin as he fucking hammered McGregor for about 3.30 of the round and got a huge 10-8 on the scorecards from everyone. 

Personally I have 0 interest in a 4th fight and at this point 0 interest in seeing McGregor get handed whatever he wants time and time again while the entire rest of the roster has to put blood sweat and tears into their work and earn it.

Last but not least fucking what a sweet thing watching that cunt Hardy get knocked into another dimension I jumped onto the back of my couch when that happened and woke up my mate that fell asleep with a beer in his hand haha

Bellator seemingly having a clear out

 

Yeah I.saw this earlier not a huge set of big names cut tbh a couple of those cuts didn't even get chance to fight in bellator because of covid that's pretty rough being cut before you have even fought for the company

Stuck £20 on a mental acca that will likely never come up, but still, let's hope it runs for a bit to keep me awake.

Went for McG, Thompson, Tuivasa and Griffin. Returns £172.

Jesus how much will you make back on a £20 acca? 

apparently the first fight tonight is scheduled to start at 11:15.

Now it's nearly here I'm absolutely pumped for it. Got a bunch of mates coming round in a hour for pizza and beers and i'm just going to enjoy the fuck out of it tbh.

I put an accumulator on in betfred for £1 and if they all win i'll get back £350 so that makes everything even more intense for me haha

Fuck yeah khamzat is coming back!!!

It's also been said alot online but just because your at a press conference in the media dosen't mean you HAVE to ask something because some of the questions and people towards the end were so cringe. and you could tell Dustin and Conor were getting pissed off with it too. 

Yeah the press conference was a little up and down. some golden nuggets and some absolute cringe from McGregor but man does he seem fired up and that is either going 1 way or the other for him. He will either go out swinging like a mad man on a mission and get caught again and knocked potentially out of the UFC top 5 for good or he will keep his head use that energy and hit the target. 

I'm saying either way this will be done in the first 2 rounds for either Dustin or Conor. 

Yeah I won't be watching live. I'll watch first thing when I get up tomorrow morning. 

As we draw closer though I am getting more confident for Conor. Here's hoping 

The Conor/Dustin press conference is tonight they are doing a 1 on 1 like the last time I believe.

As we get closer to this PPV I'm genuinely getting more nervous for Conor. Everyone is saying this is McGregor's last roll of the dice in MMA and I have to agree. 
If he looses again you have to think he will throw in the towel and walk away from the UFC forever.....or at least until he spunks a load of his money. 

I do want a Conor to win but with him coming out and saying stuff like don't throw any takedowns, let's just stand and bang you have to think he isn't feeling totally comfortable with Dustin on the ground. 

However the 1 fight i'm so excited for is the Price vs Pereira fight that has all the hallmarks as being a fucking unreal fight of the night contender.

The Hell are back with 'Joris: A Hardcore Opera pt.2'. It's silly and very tongue in cheek but it's great fun and catchy as hell in parts.

I checked out both part 1 and part 2 for the first time last week and I thought it was really really fun. 
The hell aren't meant to be taken seriously but both these albums are well worth a shot for anyone that likes chuggy metalcore 

Ricky Simon took to Twitter to ask for the fight but Ariel has said he wouldn't have been ready in 10 days.....what's the fucking point in going on social media to try and get a fight if your not fight ready

Yeah twitter is going OFF with outrage of this interim belt situation. I was so excited to see the guy i've routed for so many years try and finally get the belt (derrick lewis) But now I feel abit jaded about it because he won't be winning the actual belt......And why is that because Francis fought 3 months ago and wanted to go on vacation and thus isn't ready for August. 

I understand the outrage but people are saying boycott the show and don't buy. 
If I'm correct this has Nunes as the co main so either way i would be watching live but it feels abit harsh to ask people to boycott it and screw the other fighters on the card. 
There has to be a better way to show the UFC this isn't on

It was an alright show, Some great finishes one of which is the 4th fastest KO in Bellator history. 

The main event was more 1 sided than I expected and I was incredibly shocked it went the distance as they were both throwing hell for leather the entire time.
Did anyone watching notice BBC I player edit out the accidental headbutt during the 4th round in the main event that opened up that massive gash on Johnson's eye. 

I don't think it's going to be a good night in the office for Gane........I think Volkov absolutely wins it tonight with a KO.

This main card and a couple of fights on the prelims are pretty good tbh. It's not the greatest fight night card but not the worst by any stretch
