I can't stand TJ. Randomly I can't stand him with his love of hunting for sport. Seems a lot of those "alpha" male guys do it. He just looks like a little shit bag at the end of day.

 

I'm going for Cruz because whilst we've talked about footwork, if the same Cruz turns up, he can mix it up better than Dillashaw. He has great take downs that are so well disguised that it may trouble Dillashaw.

Nah fuck TJ. I'm Team Cruz all the way.

 

Where's Cruz come off as a prick? I haven't followed the build-up to this one much at all. Are you talking about that Counterpunch thing or something else?

Its just in general, ive never been fond of Cruz. I listened to a Jon Anik interview this morning and he said something along the lines of 'Cruz is a good friend of mine, but he's a bit of a prick'.

 

Still, my money's on him so i will unwillingly cheer him on :)

Felder/Cruickshank has been listed on Fight Pass for a couple of weeks now wand.

 

The UFC are definitely making a conscious decision to put meaningful fights on Fight Pass. That CM Punk opponent thing will be on there too, that's gonna draw some eyes.

 

Personally i love it. We get to see some live fights at a decent time. The FP prelims is a mini card in itself for this show so i'll view that between 11-1 tomorrow night then watch the remainder of the show on Monday.

 

Get on UFC rewards too, its pretty easy to get Fight Pass for nothing.

It was on Fight Pass originally but they moved it onto the FOX Sports prelims the other week when injuries forced a card reshuffle. Now it's back on Fight Pass.

 

How's the rewards thing work? Thing is I'm not always going to be around to stream the prelims live so how does that work? Do they get the prelims up immediately after the show? I'm guessing not, right? So if I'm not able to be in front of my laptop as the prelims happen, have I got to wait days for it to appear on Fight Pass? At least if it was on the FS1 prelims I can just Sky+ it and watch it when I want.

 

Fight Pass just seems like more pissing about than it's worth. The way I'm doing it at the moment, I'm watching the main cards and televised prelims on BT obviously. Then any Fight Pass prelims that take my fancy, like Poirier vs Duffy at 195, I'm just finding the videos the next day. It's been a bastard avoiding spoilers for the Fight Pass fights though.

We should start a fund-raiser to get Wand a FightPass subscription.

 

Come on lads, let's all chip in

 

I'm the opposite with Cruz. I used to think he was a twat but he's grown on me over the years. I really like him now.

Cruz had a habit of not coming across well in interviews. I think a lot of the time it was his facial expressions, or lack thereof. He is quite stoic and cold. I always enjoyed watching him fight though, and I thought he came across well as a coach on TUF Live (what a horrible series that was)

 

I hope he wins tomorrow.

It's very odd - surely there's nothing the UFC could've done to force them to sign new contracts without them walking away as the only alternative?

 

I think if they had decided to walk away they'd still have been held under the terms of their previous deal, meaning they'd likely have been shelved in the same way Wanderlei was.

I think you have an idea that Fight Pass is more of a potch than it actually is wand :D

 

You can start the prelim portion from the beginning even if the broadcast has already started i think. Its basically available to you as soon as it starts to air live.

 

The reward thing is just a point scheme for using UFC.com they give you points for reading articles, clicking polls, watching videos etc. Save up so many and you can have fight pass free for a month, or get other rewards (its surprisingly easy to get enough points).

 

The only downside to Fight Pass is the spoilers that can appear the day after shows...if you know how to avoid them its easy enough but they can just stare you in the face. The UFC needs to fix it.
