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.
, why go for a hand shake of someone you want to KO #muppet
Showing respect to your opponent is pretty normal, especially when a lot of fighters have a background in martial arts that encourage them to carry themselves in that way.
Yeah, but the lines would have been set by oddsmakers to try and ensure equal action on both sides. They're usually pretty accurate.
Actually find the fight itself way more interesting this time around.
Fair enough after the fight, but not before
Pretty much every fighter and MMA journo who has predicted have gone for Diaz
Yup, Diaz is as tough as they come and the only way I see McGregor winning is via knockout. Gotta like his chances, especially in a 5 round fight. Although I've seen Nate fight in sub-optimal shape before, having good cardio (along with a lack of brain cells) is a standard Diaz brother trait.
FWIW I think Diaz will win too
But I'm obviously desperate for a McGregor victory.

Larkin looked amazing

I think Conor will learn from his mistakes, he will be better prepared & he won't run out of gas after round 1
Larkin
That was a beatdown.

Agree. Whether that will be enough to beat Diaz though is another question.
Expect Diaz to win. If McGregor manages it I'll be impressed.
I'm not sure Conor will be able to stop Diaz, deffo not on the ground. Nates skills on the mat are too good. Think Conor will play it smarter though and take a desicion
Nice baps on markos
Surely Artems final shot
Good 1st round from Artem
Imprrssed by Artem. The best he has looked ever those 5 min.
Hope he gets the w

Easy question for me. I love the Diaz brothers because they just don't care. They love to fight, they are not cautious, just crazy maniacs born to fight. They will stand and trade, get bloody, eat punches, have great jiu-jitsu skills and very exciting to watch. Very active fighters who are never boring. Their attitude is crazy too. They fight and live like there is no tomorrow.
Me too
But perfect opponent for him
Anyone with a wrestling backround and Artem is fecked
Avila seems out of his depth
Nice and leggy, Artem!
Smart fight from Artem, should secure him another fight in the UFC. He's too limited though.
Artem kept it flowy!
I just want Garbrandt to get his face smashed. Can't stand him.
I want him to win, then win again then get absolutely dominated by Cruz. Strikes me as a bit if a cnut.
Cody is a contender
Want to see him against TJ next

feck sake. Hope he gets TJ and also gets taught a lesson
That was an ass kicking
Homasi ate some amount elbows and punches there.
Dirty bird Means is a vicious fecker
That was a brutal beatdown.
Feel bad for Homasi, that was too much of a mismatch.
Why? The blokes a bellend.
Hope Lim knocks Perry the feck out.
Think Randall is Irish.....If not, I'm Irish and I want him to win against some fecking brain dead bozo
Wanna see this cocky feck knocked out
