In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

She talks too much shit full stop.
Sign me up!
Most seemed to think Nate was the easiest match up before it actually happened because the fight would be kept standing. It was generally considered that fighters who'd take him to the ground are his worst match up such as RDA, Khabib and Alvarez.
Just popped in to say you lot gave me stick when I said the UFC should give Nunes a push and a title shot... 
Aldo fecking destroyed Edgar. Looked sharper then he has in a while, I thought.
Lauzon was landing bombs on Sanchez and Sanchez was still standing at the end
Cain looked impressive too, now with added spinning back kicks!

This made me chuckle. 
Looks like the UFC has finally been sold, for $4B.

Lauzon looking for the ref was funny, his face was like "Do I have to punch this guy into a coma or what ?"
Not sure what the UFC are smoking lining up Bisping with Henderson when there are about half a dozen fighters at MW who deserve a title shot before Hendo. They will now be in a situation where Bisping - someone who would likely get murdered in a rematch with Rockhold or against Weidman, Romero, or Jacare - will continue to be champ, or even worse, farcically have a 45 year old as MW champ.
its a good story to it
Hendo knocked Bisping out in one of the most famous finishes ever
I feel bad for Jacare. Seems like the UFC are never going to give him a shot. Although I will admit I am totally gonna enjoy Bisping - Henderson, yet feel guilty about it at the same time.
Missed all the events due to being in a village in Malaysia but advoided it all and saw everything back to back today.
The RDA vs Alvarez card was great. Duffy looked explosive, I thought bug country win but I like black beast so I'm ok with that. Very shocked at RDA, did not see that coming...
Well Brooks looked ok in the TUF card. Choi carries on his rise which is cool too see... He looks like a baby though. The Joanna fight went exactly as I thought it would.
UFC 200 was a flop of an event. Cain set the bar high, followed by a good fight between Aldo and Edgar. Good to see Aldo back but bitter sweet as I really like Edgar too. DC vs Silva was an abomination of a fight. Yes DC did what he had to but the UFC shouldn't have made that match as it was always going to go like that. Brock looked impressive considering his lay off. Hunt was manhandled. The main event should never have been Tate vs Nunes. I didn't care for it and Tate choked like a hooker taking on brocks cock on her first night.
Bisping vs Hendo? WTF? How many more times well they screw over Jacare?

Calling Jesus gay means no title shots for you.
That's the other guy Yoel Romero. He is a beast too and beat Jacare in a close split decision but then pissed hot for something, so that's kind of taken him out of the picture for a little while.
Trouble is that was 7 years ago and both fighters are in different phases of their careers at this point. If they wanted a quirky match up a better fight might've been Bisping v Nick Diaz.
It's almost a reward for both fighter's service to the UFC. Bisbing gets an "easier" title defence plus the chance to avenge a brutal loss. Hendo gets the chance to retire as champ.
If Bisbing wins, he fights the winner of Rockhold V Jacare. If Hendo wins and retires, Jacare v Rockhold for the vacant title.

Most insane week the UFC has ever had, Vegas has been surreal.
American MMA fans are awful, I can't understand it.

good fights for tomorrow.
A victory for el Cucuy should be the ticket for a title shot vs Alvarez next.
early prelims about to start
that was a great first fight. Alex Nicholson, good job.
next Yahya vs Mathew Lopez from "Lookin' for a fight"
next Yahya vs Mathew Lopez from "Lookin' for a fight"
Lopez overestimated his ground game and got schooled by Yahya. Nice Arm triangle to finish it.
Cody Pfister is 1-3 in his UFC career now... not good enough.
Courtney Casey just destroyed Stanciu.
Spicely vs Smiley Alvey next.

Smolka vs Nguyen next
That was an incredibly active ground game in the first round, Nguyen lucky to still be in this.
what a 1st round
Good fight. Smolka really looking good.
man that was brilliant... in the last fecking second.
Incredible.
El Cucuy next! come on!
Fergie incredibly lucky there.
wow what a round!
come on Cucuy!
come on Cucuy!
Wow what a round! Vanatta is definitely no joke.
Vanatta totally gassed. Would be interesting to see him with a full camp.
ufff Vannata is a talented guy. Gonna be a good addition to the roster.
Cucuy vs Alvarez next! make it happen. I think it wasn't his best performance but that can happen on a short notice fight, specially when all the pressure is on you.

John Lineker is guaranteed fireworks. Should be fun.
feck yeah
I love this guy. Hands of stone is right.Great show all round.
This is the first ufc event that I missed and saw the results in over 5 years and it sounds like it was a belter. Really annoyed.
